Queensland won by two wickets—their first success over New South Wales on the Sydney ground. In the first innings of Queensland C. E. Simpson and W. T.

During the second day Victoria scored 503 runs for seven wickets. THE AUSTRAL IANS . 9 th M a tc h .— v. CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY. Played at Cambridge on June 3, 4 and 5. Drawn. Tho visitors, winning the toss, had first use of a soft wicket, which, drying slowly in the absence of sun, never became difficult. Trumper and Bardsley opened the innings and were opposed by Olivier and Lockhart. Runs came so readily that the first 25 minutes’ play produced 50. Lockhart was punished for 35 in four overs, and Bardsley reached 50 out of 95 in 65 minutes. When the innings had lasted an hour and a-quarter, and the total had reached 122, Bardsley was stumped off Lockhart, who had just gone on again : he made some capital off-drives and cuts, and hit nine 4’s. When Lockhart went on for the second time—at 120—he bowled against the wind, and with such success that he took three wickets for 8 runs in 19 balls, Ransford and Gregory being stumped and Macartney caught at square-leg. Hai-tigan was bowled by Olivier, aud in this way half the side were out for 162. Trumper reached 100 after batting two hours and a-quarter, and McAlister was in with him whilst the sixth wicket put on 66 in 40 minutes. Then, at 228, Trumper was caught at the wicket for a faultless and excellent innings of 133 made out of 228 in 160 minutes. He hit nineteen 4’s and three 3’s, and played Lockhart very confidently, never being troubled in the least with either of his breaks. Laver and Carkeek were quickly dismissed, but McAlister and O’Connor put on 31 together, and the latter and Whitty 28. McAlister played care­ fully for 100 minutes, his innings being a valuable one and probably saving a collapse. The innings, after lasting four hours, closed for 307. In the last 55 minutes of the day the University made 40 runs for the loss of Ramsbotham. Rain prevented a ball being bowled on Friday, and on the third day a start could not be made until five minutes past one. The bowling was shared by Macartney and O’Cunnor, and almost immediately Nason lost his wicket in trying to hit. Collins and Falcon put on 43 for the third wicket, but six men were out for 99. Macleod did his best to save the follow-on, and hit eight 4’s in his 36, but the innings closed for 154, Laver taking six wickets for 28. When they went in the second time the University fared very badly. Laver and Whitty bowled, but Macartney soon displaced the latter. Half the side were out for 28 and the sixth wicket fell at 36. However, some steady batting followed and defeat was averted. Nason showed very strong defence, batting 70 minutes for 13 in his first innings and an hour for 5 in his second. Laver took ten wickets in the match for 83. Score and analysis:— A u st r a l ia n s . J•Garnham did the hat-trick twice in an innings for Holy Trinity v. St. Alban’s at Croydon on May 29. V. T.

W inning the toss, Lancashire failed to take full advantage of an easy wicket and were dismissed in three hours and a-quarter for 188. Fielder re­ appeared for Kent and got MacLaren caught at slip off his first ball. Hartley played steadily and added 42 in 40 minutes with Tyldesley and 44 in 55 with Sharp. Heap and Huddleston did little, and when Hartley was sent back after batting 160 minutes for 50, six wickets were down for 147. Hornby, who was missed by Day off Blythe when 27, hit hard and made nine 4’s in scoring 47 out of 61 in 40 minutes. Blythe took seven wickets for 57, bowling unchanged whilst 171 runs were made. The first Kent wicket realised 42 in 25 minutes, but three were down for 54. Then Woolley joined Dillon and 99 were added by the pair in 80 minutes ere the latter was caught at slip. When stumps were drawn with four men out for 168, Woolley carried out his bat for 57. On Friday, owing largely to a sixth wicket stand of 62 by Day and Mason. Kent were able to claim a lead of 73 on the first innings. Woolley batted 105 minutes '.for 59, and Day 70 minutes for 46. Brearley took seven wickets in the innings for 131. Lancashire lost MacLaren at 3, but the others did so well that at the end of the day the score was 277 with only four wickets down. Hartley, playing steadily and skilfully, carried out his bat for 103, made in four hours and a-half: with Tyldesley he added 115 for the second wicket in 110 minutes, and with Heap 102 for the fourth in 80. Tyldesley played brilliantly and reached 50 out of 69 in 70 minutes. Neither he nor Heap gave a chance, and the former hit seven 4’s and the latter eight. Rain prevented a ball being bowled on Saturday, the game therefore being drawn. Hartley’s innings was faultless. Score and analysis:— L a n c a s h ir e . First innings.
