INTER-COLONIAL CRICKET MATCH.
Victoria made up for the defeat in ; the champion race and the rifle match by winning the cricket match, the event ' of the three which was considered '. almost absolutely certain to fall to s New South "Wales. The latter had the services of three professionals, Caffyn, ' Laurence, and Cosstick. Nevertheless, j they were beaten in an innings by twenty runs. " A more glorious success," says " Bell's Life in "Victoria," J " could not well be imagined, and right £ well h.ave our men earned it. To Wills's generalship a great deal of j praise is due, and the team could not \ possibly have been better handled, t The choice of the match committee c was fully justified, the doubtful men l making just 107 runs between them, t and their behaviour in the field being 1 Al.
