CKICKET.

ENGLISH TEAM v. VICTORIA.

Melbourne, February 22. The match was commenced in perfect weather. Gunn, Jessop, and Barnes stood out. Trumble was resting. Worrall had a meteoric career until caught by Garnett. Armstrong and McAlister returned to the pavilion in succession without altering the total. Layer added 13, when he retired, temporarily hurt. Stuckey fell to Braund without scoring. McLeod was thrownout with six to his credit. Layer and Warne scored quickly. The century went up for one hour and fifty minutes' play. The partnership was an attractive display of cricket. The remaining batsmen made a poor stand, Warne carrying out his bat. Victoria. — First Innings.

The two local olubs commenced their second match this season, at Bayly Park, in fine weather, on Saturday afternoon just after 8 o'clock. The Stars batted first, and made a fair score. The feature of the innings was Haggett's 82, whioh he got by attractive cricket. B. Webby's 26 was also a very creditable performance. McCarthy and H. -Elliott were the other ohief scorerswell assisted by the extras. Some disappointment was expressed at the failure of L. Elliott and Hobson to

score, both being cleaned bowled by Clementsoi), who had at that Btage of the game 3 wickets for 7 runs. Most of the Hawera bowlers did good work, and the fielding was passable. The bumpy ground behind the wickets was accountable for the large number of extras. The batting of the Haweras wa9 only so-so, and they have 8 wickets down for only 76 runs, of which Pratt made 44 in double quick time. He played a brilliant game, and looked like making a big score, but Haggett beat him, to the great disappointment of the spec- ■ tators and his fellow clubmen. Both Haggett and H. Elliott were in fine form with the ball, and beat the batsmen repeatedly. Up to now, Harry has 4 wickets for 26 runs to his credit, while his captain has 3 wickets for 7 runs. McCarthy also bowled. It was not his day out as a trundler, but he more than made up for it by some exceedingly smart fielding. Star — Ist Innings. McCarthy, b Campbell 11 H. Elliott, b Clementson 14 L.
