Played at Adelaide on Nov. 7, 9, 10, 11 & 1 2 . South Australia won by two wickets. The result of this mafch was noteworthy inas­ much as it was South Australia’s first win over Victoria at Adelaide for eleven years. The visitors commenced very badly against O’Connor and L. R. Hill, and it was due almost solely to a stand of 133 for the seventh wicket by Carroll and Vernon that the total eventually reached 210. The latter, who hit seven 4’s, was missed in the long-field by C. Hill when 42, but Carroll, who made his 80 out of 150 in one hundred and thirty-seven minutes, played faultless cricket : he hit well all round the wicket and obtained six 4’s. O’Connor bowled admirably, and thoroughly deserved his analysis of seven for 02. South Australia lost Hewer at 3, but Claxton and Mayne added 115 together, the latter, who hit a 5 and five 4’s in his second innings, being then bowled for 51 made out of 118 in one hundred and thirty-five minute 3 . Claxton, third out (at 140), was seen at his best, but hitonly four 4’s. A t 230 the fifth wicket fell, but the latter half of the side played so well that the score was more than doubled ere the innings closed. C. Hill carried off the chief honours by making 141 out of 294 in two hundred and eighteen minutes ere being caught at third m an: he hit thirteen 4’s, and the only chance which could be urged against him was a very hot return to Warne when 123. Gehrs, who made 70 in an hour and a-half, helped to add 138 for the sixth wicket in that time : he hit nine 4’s in his faultless display. Chamberlain and Whitty made useful scores, and O’Connor carried out his bat for a valuable 40. Warne played a sound and brighter game than usual when Victoria opened their second innings, 277 in arrears. With McKenzie he made 46 for the first wicket, and with Ransford added 70 for the second. Carroll, however, was caught at mid-off at 127 and Armstrong dismissed by a fine “ c. and b .” six later, when four good wickets were down. The associa* tion of the two left-handers, Ransford and Vernon, saved the innings defeat, but the fielding side had only themselves to blame for the former, in scoring 131 out of 38S in four hours and a-half, was missed five times—when 28, 49, 57, 80, and 114. Vernon, however, gave no chance during the two hours he was in. Laver and McAlister carried the score along well—the former hit i-ix 4’s during the hour he was in—and the home side were set 135 to win. When play ceased on the fourth day South Aus­ tralia had lost three wickets for 34 runs, Claxton and Woodford being lbw and Pellew run out. On the following morning Mayne (15), who was joined by C. Hill, at once settled down to a good game and did the major part of the scoring. The pair made a useful stand, taking the total to 71 ere the left­ hander was lbw to Armstrong, who had gone on at tl.at total. Mayne and Gehrs continued the good work, but when 30 had been added the latter, who had strained a muscle in his thigh, *as run out by his partner. The fifth wicket fell at 101, but even then, with only 34runs still required, the game was in favour of the home side. At 106, however, Arm­ strong finely caught-and-bowled L. R. Hill, whilst ten later O’Connor was bowled off his pad. With only 12 required Chamberlain’s wicket was upset, and the Victorians, who had been playing very keenly, redoubled their efforts. No further wicket fell, the South Australians consequently winning a splendidly-contested match by two wickets—their first* success at Adelaide over the neighbouring State since November, 1807. Mayne, who opened the innings, played a most praiseworthy game and
