For the third day at C algary this m ixed gam e was arranged, five of the A ustralians being- included in each side. No local player greatly distinguished him self, though B ell and Richardson made a few in good style. C raw ford’s 65 was a very hard-hit innings, and M acartney’s 63 were made in quick time. M r. P.

With this m ixed match, in which all of the A ustralians except C raw ford took part, the tour was brought to a conclusion. M acartney is said to have “ sm iled sera- phically when he tumbled B ardslev’s w icket down before the b ig batsman had scored.” The G overnor-G eneral's sera> phic sm ile should certainly have been kodaked for the benefit of posterity. Perhaps it was. A fter the match Mr. R. B. Benjam in was presented by the team with a purse of sovereigns and an address, and the side disbanded. Most of them sailed on the 30th September for home; but M acartney was stayin g on in V ictoria for a while. M r . D ia m o n d ’ s T e a m . G . S. D ow n, c E m ery, b S parks A. C. B.

A C U R IO U S MA T CH IN S O U T H A F R IC A . W an d erers III v. S .A .R . P ub licity D e p artm en t. Played at E llis Park, Johannesburg, October 6. T he score is inserted as a curiosity, every member of the Wan­ derers side h avin g taken at least one w icket during the two innin gs of the R ailw ay team. But som ething very like a parallel occurred during the last E n g lish season, when, after Litherland had put out Sefton for 31 and had knocked off the runs without the loss of a w icket, the Sefton captain, F. Edw ards, conceived the idea of h avin g each w icket taken by a different bowler, and accordin gly took a man off directly he had secured a victim . T h e trick was done, and, more­ over, Litherland made no more than 77. T here is, of course, an element of fak e about these th in gs; but they have their own interest for m any people.
