CRICKET IN QUEENSLAND.

Referring to the recent match, New South Wales v. Queensland, a writer in the "Daily Telegraph" says:—lt may be that the Queenslnnders have much to learn before they can bo accounted a difficult proposition in bip cricket. Perhaps, but how to light with (lie back (o the wall is not one of the tilings lacking in tho present equipment. The dogged manner in which Jennings anil Fennelly batted througii aii always losing gni.ic was an eloquent testimony to (he class of individual playing the game in the northern State, and was a foretaste of what may reasonably be expected when population works itself back over the vast areas of the State, anil more material is at hand. Jennings played sound and attractive cricket, and not a solitary spectator begrudged him the honour—small as it wns—of top-scoring in the match. The catch by Macartney which disposed of him was a good one, and did not emphasise in any way a weakness on Ihe part, of tho victim. Queensland cricket is at present moving slowly, buf. it is bound to advance, directly to snc'.i an extent as to call for more serious attention from the hands of the authorities in llio older Slates.
