Having been beaten severely by Victoria, and Crawford being unable to proceed to Sydney, South Australia cannot have looked forward to their match with New South Wales with much confidence. They lost the toss and were put in by Trumper, and, thanks to a third wicket stand of 166 in 125 minutes by C. Hill and Gehrs, scored 342. The former hit a dozen 4’s during the two hours and a-quarter he was in and the latter, who made his 123 out of 234 in 145 minutes by splendid cricket, eighteen 4’s. Trumper played faultless cricket for an hour and a-half when the home side went in, and made 62 with Bardsley and 64 with Gow. The rest of the side did little, Wright bowliug very well, and South Australia were left with a liad of 117. Going in the second time, Mayne and Dolling scored 68 for the first wicket iu 25 minutes off seven overs sent down by Scott and Emery, and the latter and C. Hill added 99 for the second partnership. The last-named, who also put on 80 for the fifth wicket with S. Hill, scored 156 out of 2-59 in three hours, hitting twenty one 4’s but being favoured by fortune. He got 19 off an over from Cotter. L. E. Hill, also lucky, made 123 out of 172 in under two hours by attractive play, hit twenty-one 4’s and added 122 for the eighth wicket with Hewer. The total reached 499, made in five hours and a-half, and New South Wales were set 647 to win—a hopehss task. The effort they m ale was marked by an admirable display by BarJsley, who carried his bat through for 191 made in 4 hours 50 minutes. He was missed when 36 and 174, but scored well all round and hit a 5 and twenty- one 4’s. With Collins he added 76, with Cranney 50, with Kelleway 141 (for the .. 123 fifth wicket) and with Emery 51.

Murray-Acderdon. This, said Sir Spencer, was one of the greatest misfortunes that could happen, for nobody had done more for cricket, not only in the county but elsewhere. He hoped that they might draw a black line across the past season and begin again under better auspices. There was no doubt they had suffered from the want of a regular captain. For next season he was happy to say Mr. DaDiel had consented to act as captain. What they wanted was not only financial support, but encouragement and sympathy. Speaking of the bad gates last season, »Mr. Gerald Fowler, the honorary treasurer, said they could not get away from the fact that the team did not play well enough to attract people. They had had to draw £292 from the reserve fund, in addition to calling upon the guarantors. Practically they had lost £545. In his letter of resignation, Mr. Murray-Anderdon said that for some time he had felt being on the cricket ground so much a great strain, and needed a thorough rest. Although out of office his interest in the club would not diminish. The election of a successor to Mr. Murray-Anderdon was left to the committee. All other officers were re-elected. VICTORIA v. NEW SOUTH. WALES. Played at Melbourne on December 24, 20, 27 and 28 and won by New South Wales by 193 runs. The total scores w ere:— N ew South W ales , 831 (W. Bardsley 124 ; V. T. Trumper 52) and 382 (V. T. Trumper 142 ; E. P. Barbour 82) ; V ictobia , 252 (B. J. Kortlang 58 ; T. J. Matthews 39) and 268 (T. J. Matthews not out 50). Armstrong, owing to indisposition (mumps), was unable to play for the losing side. THE GLOUCESTERSHIRE COUNTY C.C. The balance sheet of the Gloucestershire County Cricket Club shows that the expen diture was £2,810 8s. 7d., and the income £2,898 7s. 9d. There is due to the bankers £468 odd, and deducting that from the value of shares held by the club in the County Ground Company, the club is still solvent, with £87 19s. 2d. to its credit. The gate-money realised £1,494 and subscriptions £1,069. The professionals’ account is £972, and amateurs’ expenses £314. THE SOMERSET COUNTY C.C. THE ADVISORY COUNTY COMMITTEE. The County Cricket Advisory Committee have been called for a meeting at Lord’s on the afternoon of Friday, February 24th, to consider the mode of reckoning points in the Championship. Yorkshire propose a scheme by which the side leading on the first innings would receive one point, and for victory in the match two additional points would be awarded. If no result was reached on the first innings the match would not be reckoned. Points to be divided in the case of ties. Sussex suggest three points for a win, otherwise one point for leading on the first innings. Lancashire ask that a further time be given to their scheme in vogue last season. Surrey propose that trial balls should not be allowed if two batsmen are at the wickets. Notices of amendments must reach Mr. F. E. Lacey at Lord’s before February 17. BOOKS RECEIVED.
