XV. OF NEWCASTLE AND DISTRICT. Played at Newcastle on December 16 and 17. The South Africans won by five wickets. Some interesting cricket was seen in this match, which was played on a good wicket in perfect weather. Newcastle, though batting with fifteen men, placed only thirteen in the field. Schwarz, in the absence of Sherwell, who was resting, captained the visitors, and had the satisfaction of leading his side to victory. Eight of the Newcastle team reached double figures, and Normau Ebsworth, in the course of his innings of 26, made hits out of the ground off Sinclair and Pegler. The latter bowled capitally, his seven wickets costing less than seven runs each. By the end of the first day the South Africans had made 237 for eight wickets, being thus 63 runs on with a couple of wickets in hand. Despite a stand of 32 by Faulkner and Zulch, half the side were out for 67. Sinclair and Nouree, however, put on 104 together for the sixth wicket, and the latter and Pearse 61 for the seventh. Sinclair, who hit eight 4's was the cause of an accident which might have proved serious. He made a big drive over the fence, and the ball, bouncing up, struck a lady—Miss Scobie, of Maitland—on the forehead. The lady was removed in a motor-car to the hospital, where it was found that she was suffering from nothing more serious than a bruise. Nourse gave no chance in making 88, and hit a dozen 4’s. McNamara, of Wickham, was the best of the local bowlers : he has a natural leg-break, and took 4 wickets for 15 runs each. The second innings of the Newcaslle side was noteworthy for the batting of Edgar, who carried his bat through the innings. He was very slow at times, but his play was sound. The South Africans, set 97 to make in just over an hour-and-a-half, obtained the number, thanks to Faulkner, for the loss of five wickets. After the game had been won, play was continued in order to amuse the spectators, and Faulkner and Sohwarz hit all over and out of the ground. Score and analysis :— XV. o f N ew castle and D istrict.

Faulkner had been batting with delightful freedom, and there was a great cheer from the crowd when he stepped out to a loose one from Morley, and hit it straight over the bowler’s head. It soared above the fence over the heads of the spectators straight for the refreshment booth, whizzing between two men, who were pledging each other’s health. It crashed among the glasses on the bar counter, and, bouncing on to the shelf, demolished a bottle of brandy and two or three bottles of beer. The astonished barman grabbed the ball and put it in his pocket. The crowd and cricketers remonstrated, but the barman was adamant. Eventually the umpire produced another ball. 9 th M atch .— v. COMBINED UNIVERSITIES. Played at the University Oval, Sydney on December 21 and 22. Drawn. What would have had good claims to rank as tirst-class had three days been given to the fixture was this match, wherein eleven drawn from the Universities of Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide took the field. As it happened, the visitors had everything their own way and with another half-hour at their disposal would probably have won easily. Baibour and McElhone by free cricket —they sent the 100 up in 52 minutes—added 113 together after Dolling had been out without a run, both playing excellent and attractive cricket. Minnett, who hit a dozen 4’s during the hour-and-a-quarter he was in, also Scored freely, and was well supported by Fisher, who stayed whilst 83 were added. Llewellyn was the most successful bowler, as the analysis will show. Like his rival captain, Sherwell was dismissed scoreless, and again a prolific second wicket stand followed, Commaille and Faulkner adding 182 together. Of that number the latter, by faultless cricket, made 117; he hit nineteen 4’s, the majority of them carpet drives or well-timed cuts. Llewellyn subsequently carried off the honours, and of the 268 runs obtained in the two hours he was in claimed 148, and carried out his bat. It was a dashing display, as is evident from the fact that it contained six 6’s and thirteen 4’s. Just near the close, when he was tired and slashing at everything, he offered two chances, but they detract very little from the merit of his display. Snooke, who did well after a run of bad luck, scored 67 and put on 172 for the sixth wicket with Llewellyn. Schwarz subsequently helped to add 80 without further loss, and then, with seven out for 487, the closure was applied. The visitors made every effort to win, but the students just managed to evade defeat. Score and analysis :— C ombined U niversities . Second innings, b Pegler .......... 47 First innings. C. E.
