Commenting on the refusal of Browne and Gibbs to take part in the above match, the Daily Argosy of Demerara remarked :—“ The action of the Barbados players, looked at in any light, is not sport. They came here to play alone in the Test match, and they played. The match which was commenced yesterday was arranged by the G.C.C. Committee in the place of the return match against British Guiana. It was not to be a Test match, and in giving the team the title of “ A West Indian X I ” the Committee did so because they had included in the team selected some of the players from the other colonies. It was not a duty on the part of the Committee to choose every one cf the players who had come from the other colonies, irrespective of every other consideration. They wanted a team worthy of winning, and they picked the team they considered best. That Archer in these circumstances was left out was inevitable— he had failed completely in his batting in the Test match, and a change was well made when he was dropped. Therefore the action of the other Barbados men, Browne and Gibbs, is a regrettable instance of undoubtedly bad form .” 7 th M atch .— v. TRINIDAD. Played at St. Clair on March 7, 8 and 9. Trinidad won by an innings and 77 runs. Port of Spain, March 13. Owing to the fact that their stay here was to be only a short one, the Englishmen found it necessary to commence their first match on the same day as their arrival from British Guiana. Doubtless this fact had a great deal to do with the poor show made by them and the heavy defeat they experienced, for they would naturally have preferred at least one day to devote to practice. Only two of their number reached double-figures, and Smith was the only one who batted with any credit to himself. Trinidad gave a far better account of themselves, but, despite a fine stand by Cipriani, half the side were out for 116. W ith Rogers in Trinidad went right ahead, the pair adding 116—just doubling the score—for the sixth wicket. Cipriani’s batting was thought by the Englishmen to be the best so far shown against them. He might have been caught when 125, but he gave no other chance during his brilliant display. Rogers, twice missed, scored 67, and Trinidad led by 204 on the innings. The M.C.C.’s side’s second innings was slightly better than their first, but that is almost all one can say in commendation of it. Smith and Hearne added 56 for the fourth wicket and D. C. F. Burton scorfd a useful 24, but the result was never in doubt. Owing to an injury sustained to his hand from a fast, bumping ball from John in the first innings, Whittington was unable to bat in the second and Gaussen and S. Burton also were absent.

Played at Loton Park on January 28 end February 4 and won by North Fremantle “ A .” by two wickets. C. Munro in the first innings of the losers bowled 13 overs for 11 runs and all ten wickets : in the match he dismissed fifteen men for 40 runs. The West Australian described his performance as “ probably the best achieve­ ment ever registered in Western Australian cricket . . . . The only fault that could be found with the pitch was that it was on the slow side, but the balls did not kick at all, and Munro’s effort was a veritable triumph of the ball over a good batting team.” The Wanderers’ innings were as follows: — W a n d e r e r s .
