GOSSIP. G. E. Palmer, the famous Victorian cricketer, whose knee was seriously injured 'while out shooting about twelve months ago, hopes to be able to play again regnlarly this season. . ' R. Thorn, the well-known English umpire, thus wrote of Blackbam after the seoond Gloucester match :—" Blaokham was in rare form in the above match, wherein he brought off another of his sparkling' performances of not permitting a single bye in either innings, a feat that takes some accomplishing when done without the long-stop. . . When it is remembered that Blackham has been a perfect barricade to Spoffortl, Palmer, and Garrett and others for fourteen years, and is now taking in Turner in all bin wonted form, there are few but will admit fiat if he is not voted one of the very best he certainly has never been surpassed as a ' snapper ' or ' looker after the ball ' on the cricket field." A cable message received in Sydney states that Turner's average for the whole tour is 320 wickets for 3133 runs, equal to 10*238 runs per wicket. This is the best average attained by any colonial who has played only eleven-a-side matches. The most suooessful bowlers in the third, fourth, and fifth teams were •,—, — Over*. Mdns. Ens. Wto. Avg.
