Vernon R,-msford was not sufficiently recovered from lus nasal operation to tike part in the South Australian-Victorian match. During progress of the Mrlboiime-Pra-hran match the other day play had to bo stopped till the caretaker's black horse (sole occupant of the embankment), which had got right behind tho bowler's arm, was " moved on." 1). R. A. Gehrs, in addition to being a punishing batsman, is an exceptionally line cover-point. Atone time he gave promise of developing into a lii'st-elass wicketkeeper, but a. few seasons ago his hands received a great pounding in a match played in .Sydney, and since then little hau been heard of him as an "Aunt Sally." Ho is reckoned pretty sure of a place in this season's Australian representative team. In the game at Gracemero, Brisbane, mentioned in my notes on Monday last, in which Alan Marshal captured six wickets for 14, Oxlcy's innings totalled 53, Ilartigau peering 21. Tho receipts for the Sonlh African-New South Wales match amounted to £1,740. of which the Springboks take £631 and 1 the New South Waks Cricket Association £934. The Gehrs Fellow partnership for North Adelaide against Port Adelaide on the 12th inst- resulted in the score being in- • creased by 268 runs. Gehrs made 191 in 1150 minutes—he smacked twenty-coven 4's and three 6's—while Pcllew also scored ! over a century. Owing to an injury to his side, A. C. Facy. the Tasmanian, was unable to play ■ for Victoria, in the match against South 1 j Australia. W. .1. Scolt took his place, and ,! made top score in the match (117) in Arictoria's only innings. J. H. Sinclair has Teached Australia and made his debut in the Toowoomba ■ match which began yesterday. He is a giant : a regular Bonnor. A match was played on tho Caledonian • Ground yesterday afternoon between teams

'representing the Grocers and Penrose 6, resulting in a win for the Grocers by 106 runs.
