(United Press Association —By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) (Received 8.51 a.m.j’ MELBOURNE, This Day. The weather was delightful and the wicket slow and easy for the English men’s match against Victoria. Gilligan won the toss. Benson, Legge and Bowley were omitted from tlio English team. Bowley is slightly indisposed. The opening batsmen were cautious, the bowling being accurate. Fifty was reached after an hour’s batting, Gilligan getting most of the runs.

He hatted 75 minutes and hit, two boundariesEarle created enthusiasm by-big hitting. He reached 20 in nine minutes. Barratt varied stubborn play with some forceful hits to the off. He batted 50 minutes and hit. four-boundair-r

Cornford stonewalled'for' ;"0 minutes. Worthington developed a ’.sudden chill and Ryder offered to allow another ’man to hat for him. The offer was appreciated, hut declined. Blackie’s howling was guileful and deserved success. Victoria’s innings opened sensation ally. Wood full was caught at shortstop at the fifth hall. Hendry was dismissed in the slips in Barraft’s first over. Ponsford was cleverly taken on the leg side by the wicketkeeper.' • Darling was dismissed in the slips in the last over, the collapse being a surprising one.

Barratt gave an exhibition of fine bowling, his average being three for
