The Transvaal won by six wickets. The Border created some surprise on the first day by gaining a lead of S3 on the first innings. Their batting was noteworthy only for an innings of 45 by Cross and a second-wicket s;and of 67, the feature of the day’s cricket being the bowling of Hartigan, who kept an irreproachable length, varied his attack with sound judgment and frequently made the ball come in awkwardly from leg. On the Thursday, owing chiefly to a finely-hit century by Heather, the Transvaal pulled off the match by six wickets. Hartigan and Sprenger, the only batsmen to do much for the Border, added 91 for the fourth wicket, which fell at 117. After they were separated the innings soon closed, seven wickets going down for 14 runs. Heather’s display of hitting in the final stage of the game was remaikable. He made 109 of the last 133 runs scored and carried out his bat. His chief strokes were nine 6’s and seven 4’s. When 3 he was badly missed off Hartigan. Score and analysis :— B o r d e r .

ORANGE RIVER COLONY. Played at Lord’s No. 1 Ground on March 22 and 23. The Orange River Colony won by an innings and 26 runs. The Orange River Colony, thanks to Capt. Fawcus and J. E. Jewell, outplayed their opponents at all points and won with great ease. The former, who bowled his first seven overs for four wickets without a run, ended with an analysis of seven for 38. J. E. Jewell helped to follow up the advantage thus gained by making 106 out of 152in 115 minutes by brilliant cricket without a chance : his chief strokes were ten 4’s, and he put on 56 for the fourth wicket with Fawcus and 71 for the fifth with Stanton. When play ceased at the end of the day Griqualand West had four wickets down for 40 in their second innings, and on the Thursday were all out for 94 and beaten as stated.

Played at Lord’s No. 4 Ground on March 22 and 23. Natal won by 245 runs. The home side gained a commanding position on the first day, obtaining a lead of 69 on the innings and then scoring 97 for three wickets. The play was, on the whole, uneventful, but an opening partnership of 79 by Blake and Taylor when Natal went in the second time should be mentioned. On the second day Pearse, by brilliant cricket, made 100 in 150 minutes and carried out his bat. He offered only one chance—when 86— and hit six 4’s and two 3’s. Eastern Province were left with 361 to win, and after Longwortli and Le Roux had made 63 for the first wicket the end soon came, Natal winning very easily. Score and analysis :— N a tal .
