Nothing much -was -done after that. Arnott’s 60 i,n 2j hours in such circumstances showed him the possessor of defensive-powers that ought to be of good service to his side in the future, especially as he can hit; tod, under different conditions.

There had been heavy rain on Christmas Day, and when this match began on December 26 J. A. Seitz, the old Oxonian (who had been elected captain by the Victorian players in preference to Warwick Armstrong), winning the toss, sent N.S.W. in. The move paid, and a company of nearly 10,000 had the satisfaction of .seeing their side’s old and dear rivals dismissed for 84-—the lowest score made by N.S.W. v. Victoria for close on twenty years. Matthews took full advantage of the help given him by the wicket, and McNaughton, playing for the first time for his state, also did very well. Trumper, highest scorer, made 25 in 45 minutes. At call of time the home side had 9 wickets down for 181. Seitz fell with only a single scored; but Carroll and Ransford, scoring fast, soon equalled the N.S.W. total. At this point the lengthy Massie took his second catch, and Ransford was succeeded by Ryder, the rising star of Victoria, who, however, left two runs later. Carroll took his score to 73 (made in 90 minutes and great style) before he left, and Baring showed distinctly promising form. The second ball of the second day closed the innings with the total unaltered. When N.S.W. batted again both Waddy and Trumper were out by the tinie the score had reached 21. Minnett made 26 in as many minutes, and he and Collins took the score to 60. Barnes -and Collins added 84 for the fourth wicket, and both were out at 147. Each had a life; but, apart from this, their batting was capital, Barnes scor­ ing the faster of the two. After their departure only Moore did much, and his 42* confirmed the high opinions formed of him on the strength of his club cricket doings. Ryder bowled finely, and if he continues to improve should be a certainty for international honours when they are next to be bestowed. Victoria, with 136 needed, lost Carroll, Ryder, and Armstrong with ominous quickness; moreover Ransford, always an unlucky cricketer in this way, had to retire hurt. Seitz, very stolid, and Baring stopped the rot, and the score was 75 for 3 at call of time on the Friday. On Saturday the runs were easily hit off, Seitz still in possession at the finish.

ORANGE FREE STATE v. TRANSVAAL. The result of this match at Bloemfontein and some account of the play on the first day (December 14) was given in the January issue. Susskind and Berry added 94 for the third wicket of Transvaal, and Redick and F. W. Cooper 68 for the ninth. The other seven batsmen only contributed 23 among them. The home side began well, thanks mainly to Lindsay, formerly of the Transvaal, now farming at Phillipolis, in the Free State. Meintjes and F. W. Cooper caused a collapse later, and the Free Staters followed 011 108 in arrear. They had up 4 for 77 at call of time on the Saturday, thanks to young Van Schalkwyk and 1 ’ . H. Bell, late of Gloucestershire. On the Monday Lindsay joined Bell, and played a great game. The fifth wicket fell at 106; but Jewell, the Sutton player of two or three years ago, and an old Felstedian, helped the ex-Transvaalian to add 91 for the sixth. There was no real stand after Jewell’s depar­ ture. Lindsay hit twenty-one 4’s in his fine 109, his leg strokes being particularly good. Wanting only 144 to win, Tranvaal looked to have a soft thing on, especially as the Free State fielding had been very loose in their first innings and the bowling by no means deadly. But they only won by the narrow margin of one wicket, after a desperate struggle. With only 2 wickets down and nearly half the runs made, they seemed safe enough ; but the third wicket fell at 71, the fourth at 76, and the fifth at 83. The sixth added 25, but the seventh fell without further addition, and the eighth at 122. When the ninth went down at 137 the home side’s chances seemed good, for Stranger has no repu­ tation as a batsman. He managed to stay, however, while Bennett hit off the runs, and so the Transvaalers pulled through.
