There had been so much rain during the Thursday night that the commencement ofplay on thefollowing clay was delayed from 10.30until 1.50 p.m. Cameron won the toss for the home side and sent the visitors in. Conyers was again seen to advantage, and it was fortunate for the Philadelphians that it was so, for of the other eleven players only Pearson (10) reached double figures, the innings closing for 103. In the last few minutes of the day the home side made 8 runs without loss. Rain prevented any play on Saturday and caused the match to be abandoned as a draw. Score and analysis:— P h ilad el J. R.

Played at Sabina Paik, Kingston, on Ftbruaiy 15 and 16. Jamaica won by nine wickets. The home ride showed the better cricket through­ out and thoroughly deserved their success, which vas very popular. Eight players reached double figures in the first innings and Morrison took eleven wickets for 78 runs. The Philadelphians’ bowling did not prove very difficult-, Hordern doing nothing to foreshadow his success in the subsequent matches. Score and analysis:— P h ilad elph ians . First innings. J. R.

Philadelphians won by 172 runs. Hordern’s bowling quite subordinated everything else seen in the game, his record for the match being sixteen wickets for 80 runs. A local account remarked:—“ The victory was to all intents and purposes due to one maiij Hordern, the “ googlie” bowler. He was a veritable terror with the ball, and before him the men looked upon as fine bats went down like mere beginners. Nothing could stop him. Neither back play, forward play, nor pad play. The brtak to leg and the break to off with the same delivery was harrassing—from the local point of view—and our stars went down and out. . . . Motta put googlie through the slips for a couple. How the crowd yelled when Hordern went at Motta with a double shuffle and a ju m p ! “ Well played, sail ! ” yelled the onlookers who were enjoying the game free i*f cost, as the Kensington man kept the tricky ball down. And they yelled even louder when googlie pitched up one to Pearce who hit it round to leg and ran 5..................... Hordern—well, he was nigh unplayable, and came out with the fine analysis in the match of sixteen wickets for 80 runs. W ithout doubt he is the finest bowler ever seen on these shores, and one can well believe that he is the greatest googlie bowler in the world. May it be the good fortune of Jamaica to raise up one day, and that speedily, such a destroy­ ing demon as lie.’’ W inter was seen at his best behind the wicket, and Capt. McDonough played two capital innings. Score and analysis :— P h ilad elph ian s . First innings. J. R. Conyers, c Pearce, b Hutton ........................ 15 R. L. Pearson, b Hutton ... 29 J. J.
