There was a possibility that this match would fall through at one time, owing to a squabble in the Ceylonese cricket community as to the selection of the native team. But wiser counsels prevailed ; the danger was averted ; and the Ceylonese had the satisfaction of winning a really notable victory. The side put in the field against them, though it lacked Rubie and Vidler, was strong all­ round, and its dismissal for two such paltry totals was the result of line bowling by Horan and E. R. De Saram and capital fielding. The .losers, on the other hand, were below par in the field, though Hutt kept wicket well. Seven wickets were dowm for 58 when the Europeans batted ; but Gibson and Farquharson came to the rescue, adding 43. The Ceylonese had 6 down for 71 ; then Dickman and Perera, by good, dean hitting, added 111—the best partnership yet recorded in these •annual games, n o by Crawford and H. G. Cornish three years ago being the previous record. In their second innings the Europeans started fairly well ; but with the score at 117 for 5 there came a sudden change. So good had been the bowling and so close the fielding that the last 11 runs had taken half-an-hour, and that with Gibson in all the time. The up-country crack fell to a catch at the wicket at 117. Wicks was bowled by Horan a run later ; and then E. R. De Saram finished the innings with the hat trick. Siedle was finely caught at cover by the bowler’s brother ; Halliley was out to another clever catch, by Amath ; and May gave De Saram a difficult chance of c and b. which was accepted amidst a hurricane of cheers. The Ceylonese Avon by 7 wickets. E u r o p e a n s . First Innings. V. F. S. Crawford, b D. L. De Saram 12 D. F. Fitzgibbon, c Perera, b Horan n B. J. A. Fawcett, b E. R. De Saram 4 A. N.

TASMANIA v. VICTORIA. At Launceston, March 9, 10, 12, and 13. Five scores of this match, given in Colonial exchanges, all differ in details ; four show Tasmania as batting first, which is impossible ; none gives any account of the game. The whole affair approaches the regions of farce. Hobart has more good men than Launceston ; a really representative Tas­ manian team could probably include at least seven Hobart men ; not one appeared in this match, the side being wholly a northern one. The Launceston authorities had refused to have anything to do with the match against N.S.W. at Sydney, and had only at the last moment agreed to send a man or two for the match v. Victoria at Hobart ; now the Hobart people, apparently intent on getting their own back, boycotted this game. Martin and Thomas alone of the eleven who played had much real claim to inclusion in a Tasmanian side, and Martin made more runs in one innings than any other three men on the side did in two. Stanley Stephens scored a century in each innings for Victoria, and more runs than all the Tasmanian eleven in the match ; and from the table of fall of wickets given in the Sydney Referee one deduces a stand of 91 between him and Lugton in the first innings, with a partnership of 86 between Lugton and Sheppard following it ; in the second Stephens and Willis appear to have added 153 for the second wicket, Stephens and Carlton 105 for the fourth, and Cohen and Souter 126 for the sixth. The best stand for the losers was 70 for the third wicket by Martin and Davis in the first innings. Ironmonger, it will be seen, bowled with great effect. Victoria won by 550 runs. First Innings. S.
