This match was commenced in fine weather on the Friday, but on the Monday was abandoned on account of rain. The gross amount taken was only £162 3s. and it would seem that Melbourne people have a curious idea as to what constitutes a “ benefit.” Warne’s opinion on the same point should also be interesting. The chief feature of the opening day’s play was the batting of Mayne, who made 105 out of 218 in 190 minutes without a mistake: making fine strokes on both sides of the wicket, he obtained seven 4’s as his most remunerative hits. Later, by very bright and attractive cricket, Smith and Minnett put on 98for the seventh wicket in 48 minutes, the latter, who hit six 4’s, scoring his 59 in an hour. Smith hit as many as eleven 4’s. Whitty varied his pace with sound judgment, came with his arm a lot at times and sent down some capital yorkers. The game was interrupted by rain on the Saturday, but during the time available the eleven scored 267 for six wickets. Everything was dwarfed by the partnership of Matthews and Trumper, who put on 125 together for the sixth wicket. The weather was very bad on the Monday, and the game was abandoned. The complete bowling analysis was not published. Score and analysis :— R est of A u stralia . E. R. Mayne, run out C. E. Dolling, c Cotter, b VVhitty ... E. F. M'Elhone, b Whitty ........... B. J.

The Club Cricketers' Charity Fund have issued an official hand­ book, to which Lord Alverstone contributes “ A Few Words,” wherein he pays a great compliment to those who were instrumental in the foundation of the organisation. Included in the publication will be found a general guide to club grounds, a directory of club secretaries and signed articles by Messrs. O. R. Borradaile, W. G. Grace, G. H. Hirst, F. S. Ashley-Cooper, J. Sharp, H. D. G. Leveson- Gower, Gilbert Jessop, Lord Harris, Sir Home Gordon, Bart., Lord Hawke and others. The booklet, which contains over 150 pages and is illustrated, is an excellent compilation. The Norfolk Cricket Annual , unlike so many yearly publications, is very nicely printed on excellent paper. As it is also illustrated, and every page likely to interest all who follow the county’s cricket, the little publication should enjoy a good sale. Full scores of all county and club and ground matches played by the Norfolk County C.C. last season are given, and there is also a long article by F. S. Ashley-Cooper on the history of Norfolk Cricket. The Royal Insurance Co ., Ltd., of 1, North John Street, Liverpool, have just issued their eighth edition of Record o f Sports , of which they will be glad to supply copies to readers of C r ic k e t so far as their stock will permit. Almost every branch of sport is dealt with, and the volume must rank as one of the most accurate, complete and up-to-date records of sport in existence. The book contains 256 pages and the get up of the volume is admirable. The twenty-fourth issue of the Athletic News Cricket Annual has been compiled on precisely the same lines which have afforded so much satisfaction to cricketers for several years past, and the fact that it is edited by “ Tityrus ” is a guarantee that its contents are trustworthy. The Annual contains a vast amount of information in its 170 pages—much of it not to be found in any other publication on the game —and as it relates to minor county, club and league cricket, as well as to first-class cricket, the production should appeal to practically all who are interested in cricket and cricketers.

The reports of the play are taken from the columus of the Daily Chronicle , of Demerara, and supply all the information that even the most minute dissector of cricketana is likely to require. * The Intercolonial Cricket Tournament, September, 1910.
