BILLIARDS. DTGGLE AND HARVERSON TO TOUR AUSTRALIA. London, Nov. 27. Higgle and Harverson "’ill tour Au-;;ialia for fourteen weeks, starting in Alay. CRICKET. M.C.C. v. N.S.W. A CLOSE .MATCH. Sydney. Nov. 27. The weather was fine and hot, and the wicket rolled out hard" and fast. Mead and Foster resumed to Hordern and Cotter. After a few singles Foster made a magnificent drive off Cotter for four. Next ball he attempted to repeat the stroke but Gregory at cover point brought off a remarkable catch. The ball was going at lightning speed a few inches from the ground. In Cotter’s next over Mead tipped a good length ball to Cartel-, who caught it. He had batted 172 min for 46. H : s style is more safe than brilliant. Douglas was in 20min without scoring. Trumper dropped an easy catch off Hordern. The next ball he was out leg before. He dirl not play a single forcing stroke. With Woolley and Barnes together play brightened. The former used his feet am! hit with great freedom. He lifted Hordern for six. The 2o<) appeared in 267 minutes. Barnes was the next victim. Folkard bowled him with an off-break which he did not attempt to play, and which took the bails. Strudwick was bowled by a particularly fast delivery of Cotter after scoring 5. Hitch started by pasting Cotter twice for •!. He was bowled by Hordern in the third over after lunch. Woolley was not out with 43. He batted 48min and hit 5 fourers and 1 six. On his play he is the most attractive batsman in the team. Nev.’ South "Wales started disastrously. Trumper was cleverly caught by Strudwick oft Foster in the first over. Macartney, who joined Bardsley, was out leg before to Douglas, who was bottling at the other end. also scoring 1. Bardsley was not long in following. He scored 24 in vigorous style, and then trying to cut a good length fast ball from Foster he tipped it to Strudwick, who held it. Gregory and Barbour played very carefully and scored almost as slowly as the Englishmen, 50 taking 55 minutes. At 53 "Woolley relieved Douglas. H's second ball Gregory tipped high in the slips, but Foster failed io reach it. Barbour was in 26 minutes before he scored his second run. He had been hitting hard, but the field was well placed. After tea play sparkled a bit. The 100 appeared in 87 minutes. Barnes and Hearne were both expensive. Douglas replaced Hearne, and off h's second ball Foster brilliantly caught Gregory in the slips. He scored 66 in 82 minutes by pretty cricket. Three balls later McElhone was out leg lie fore to Douglas without scoring. Barbour played confidently, but when 37 Hitch bowled hum with a perfect length but very fast ball. Hordern joined Minnett. The former was uncomfortable, and al 3 was caught by Gregory as substitute for Douglas off Hitch. Folkard was bowled with a splindid ball by Foster at 6. Minnett played an excellent mirnrwith’mf taking liberties. He scored nil round I lie wicket and readied 50 in 75min. The English fielding in returning was not equal to the standard of previous teams. The attendance was It.coo. Scores:— ENGLAND. First Innings.
