SHEFFIELD SHIELD NEW SOUTH WALES SCORES A LUCKY WIN (Keo. January 5, 9 p.tu.) Sydney, January 5. In tho Sheffield Shield match against Queensland, New South Wales, iu tho second innings, lost eight wickets tor 100 (L’hillips 29). Notliling took tivo wickets for 39, and Thompson one for 5. New South Wales wou by 363 runs ou the first innings. Queensland made a remarkable effort to win, tiino alone beating them, as under tho Sheffield Shield rules only two houiw and a halt were allowed for play to-day. Thundery weather, a very bad light, aud tho wicket favoured"tho bowlers when play was resumed. Nothling bowled in deadly fashion, and wicket after wicket fell. At ono stage seven were down for 74 runs. The remaining batsmen, however, playing purely on tho defensive, managed to last out time, and New South Wales scored a lucky win. | New South Wales, in the first innings, made tho great score of 639, to which Queensland replied with scores of 27G an.l 59DJ NOMADS v. WELLINGTON TEAM LOCAL SIDE SCORE HEAVILY Ideal weather prevailed for tlio match between tlio touring Nomads and a Wellington team at. Kilbirnie Reserve yesterday. 'Tho Nomads, who were without tho services of E. 11. 1,. Bernau, Ji. O. Talbot, and .1. Hamilton, had first use of a fast wicket, but found tho bowling of Lambert too good for them, tlio sido falling for 210. Lambert bowled exceptionally well in taking six wickets tor 50 runs, varying his paco cleverly and getting a good deal of spin on tho leather. Ho was well supported by Hyder, who took three for 48 off twenty overs. D. A. Cameron, the Rangitikci representative, played a nice innings for G 7 for tho tourists, and was well supported by D. C. Collins, A. Al. Onley, aud S. lleovcs. Collins was going well when ho was dismissed by a magnificent catch by Lamason off Lambert. Tlio fieldsman ran fully thirty yards to tako a great running catch at long-on. "Tlio Nomads were very weak in bowling, aud tlio homo side scored heavily on going to the wickets. A great stand was mado by C. A. Armstrong and F. T. Badcock, who put on IDS for the fourth wicket, carrying tho score from 160 to 268. M'fien shaping well for bis century, Armstrong, who hit a sixer and fourteen Tourers, was snapped up at mid-off by Bunny off Itiddiford. Badcock gave a delightful display before retiring with 75 to his credit, hitting a sixer and twelve fourers. J. It. Lamason played soundly for 69, and H. Al. Lambert hit eight fourers and a single in running to 33 in quick time. H. J. Tattersall, A. Donegluo, W. Dustin, C. G. Wilson, H. Nunn, and A. Cato all helped to swell the score, which stood at 405 for nine wickets when time was called at 6.30. Swainson. who secured four wickets for 97 runs off twenty-one overs, was a long way the best of tho ten bowlers tried by the Nomads. The following are the scores:— NOIvIADS. First innings. D: A.
