Steel , Hall , nor Emmettwere included in the Northern Eleven, and, owing to an injury to his hand, Pilling's place was taken by Sherwin. Mainly owing to Peate's bowling and the effective hitting of Mr. Hornbyand Barnes they had all the best of the gamethroughout , and were rewarded byan easy victory . Barnes played fine cricket for his 67 ; but Mr. Hornby, though his hitting was very noteworthy , was missed more than once . Blackham(4 and 32) was the highest scorer for the Australians . Peate's bowling was the feature of the match. The North wonby an innings and 22 runs. North , 220 ; Australians , 91 and 107 ; total , 198 . Peate (North) Overs. Maidens. R u n s.
