Riley, the Secretary, in the work of the South Australian Cricket Association. Leicestershire deserve every credit for the manner in which they recovered ground in their match with Lanca­ shire at Old Trafford in the latter part of last week. Pro­ bably nine people out of ten opined that, when the side went in for the second time on Friday afternoon with arrears amounting to 175, their ultimate defeat was assured; but, although they lost Mr. W ood for 15, Knight, King, Whitehead and Coe did so well that the side were able to declare with nine wickets down for 400.
