Munn coming in. Waddy captained, and won the toss. Cody and A rnott played capital innings, the former making 84 (thirteen 4’s) at the rate of a run a minute, and A rnott hitting up 70 (a 6 and eleven 4’s) in 56 minutes, with two chances, however. Everybody else, except Massie, made doubles ; but Munn, the wicket keeper, was the only other man to top 20. There were two good stands in the Westralians’ first innings, T . Hogue and Howard, the left-handed stonewaller, adding 84 for the second wicket, and Christian and Edmondson adding 118 for the seventh. Hogue’s and Edmondson’ s runs were made at about a run a minute pace ; Randell and Christian were not quite so rapid, bu t scored at a good pace ; Howard took an hour to make his runs. When N .S.W . had 4 out for 99 in the second innings, and were only 86 on, with Waddy, Barnes, Collins and Arnott gone, the situation called for care, and the two colts, Tozer and Andrews, showed commendable re­ straint. They added 80 ; Single helped Tozer to put on 55 more, and the rest h it out. The innings was declared, leaving the visitors w ith 373 to get for victory in about four hours— a plainly impossible task. They were out for 207, losing by 165 runs. Howard, in first, was last out, having batted 198 minutes for his 71. No one else reached 30, and the best stands were the 52 of Howard and Edmondson for the third, and the 56 of Howard and Bott for the sixth wicket. In the bowling line Mailey’ s form for the home side was the feature of the game. He took t3 w ickets for 152. The visitors’ bowling was steady rather than d e a d ly ; but their fielding was quite first-class. N ew S outh W ales . 29 ... 318 A u stralia .

None of the older hands played for the home side in the match begun at Melbourne on Wednesday, Novem­ ber 20, the team being chosen entirely from Worrall’s colts. Several of these, however, have previously played for the State. R . L. Park, the University play«r, who did so well for the Melbourne C.C. last season, cap­ tained ; Evers won the toss from him, and sent Victoria in on a slow but easy wicket. Ryder, who played particularly well for his 57, and Hotchin put up 56 for the first wicket, which proved to be the longest stand of the ! innings. The sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth wickets all fell at r86, T. Hogue and Hughes (fast) being the bowlers. Howard and Rowe took the score to over 50 (before the former was foolishly run out, both batsmen being at one end. Rowe was in 140 minutes for his 50 ; j Christian hit 29 in 28 minutes, and W. Hogue batted 45 minutes for 27 not out. In Victoria’ s second Ryder and Hotchin sent up r47 before the latter was out for 86. Sandford helped Ryder to add 75 for the second wicket, and at call of time the total was 232 for 2. Though the Westralians played up pluckily, their bow l­ ing lacked sting and in some cases length. On the Friday rain interfered with the play so much that only j 91 runs were scored in all, three more wickets falling. Ryder batted 185 minutes for his n o (only eight 4’s)— his first century for Victoria, but not likely to be his last. In three innings against the Westralians he totalled 241— 74, 57 and n o . This was the last match of the tour. The Westralians improved as they went on and though not winning a game (they lost two, drew three) made a j good impression both on and off the field. Veteran though Evers is, and carrying weight as he does, he is said to be still a first-rate wicket-keeper, and he is a good j captain. Rowe is highly thought of as batsman and field, and, though Selk is past his best, the team carried no passenger.
