TXDS XQNGLIBH TIC AM The following are tho fixturos for tho English loam's tour in tho colonies:— Feb. 1-s—Test match in Sydnoy Fob. 15-19—Against Brisbane Fob. 22-25—Against Bulli and Wollongong March 1-5 —Tost match in Melbourne March —Tasmanian tour March 22-20 —Farowoll match in Adelaide By “ Point.” The following notes on last Saturday’s play are furnished by “Notcher": Tho Midland-Rival heat was soon concluded and resulted in a win for the former by an innings and thirteen runs. Gamble was disposed of by Fitzaimons, who caught him very nicely in the slips beforo ho had added any to his not out score of 1. Read played a very fair innings for 15, and Jones and Stinson also made a short stand, tho latter being eventually run out. Williams was very quick behind tho wickets and snapped up Stinson in fiistcluss style. Fitsssimons also deserves a WWtl jjraiw fur his smartness in catch-

ing Gamble in the slips. Both were excellent catches. Warren’s bowling was very effective. His average showed 4 wickets for 29 runs, while Up Imm (I for 5) and Fi'.ziimons (3 for 22) also did good service. Fitzumons has been bowling very inu.h better of late. In the Wellington Plica six heat Holdship added nino to his not out score of J 27, carrying out his bat for the tine total of IJG. Bothune, his last partner at the wickets, made 12 runs altogether before he was bowlod by Chisholm. Hid he been able to stay it is probablo that Holdship’s score would have been considerably larger, as he was hitting in good stylo and looked like staying in for a week. Those who anticipated that tho Phoenix would be disposed of for a small score ivoro greatly disappointed. They made a most determined stand and succeeded in knocking up the very creditable score of 209 for nine wickets.

Roberts played a really fine innings for 39, hitting freely throughout and placing the ball with groat judgment. Tho manner in which ho and Bennett stole runs was surprising and considerably disconcerted the field. Bennett had been at tho wickets for about three quarters of an hour before he scored a single. He had by that time, however, got thoroughly used to the howling and blade lively until ho was stumped by Izard at 34.

Webb laid the wood on to the tune of 22 runs, but his hitting lacked judgment, and he had a narrow escape of being caught by Floldship. Eventually he hit wildly at a straight ono from Bothune and had to retire.

Niven shaped very well for 20, ancl Chisholm played carefully for 14, his hits including one for five, ofFKi ker.

Tho bowling of the Wellingtons was up to tho average, but the bowlers were not fairly treated by the field, who missed several catchosand fumbled repeatedly in a must exasporatiiui manner. Izard was not up to form behind the wickets, and “ oxtraa 24 " looks by no means well in the scoring book. Holdship, G re, Judd, and Whitehorn fielded very well indeed.

The New Zealand Cricket Council has adopted an excellent plan with regard to the selection of tho North and South Island teams.

Anent the Fijian team a Fiji journal says :—“ They wish to learn something from the cricketers in New Zealand that may be of benefit both to tho white and to the native players. It is this spirit and this desire that we hope our friends and cricket opponents in Now Zealand will recognise. Though we can hardly expect that our representatives will not be defeated, wo can certainly claim for them that they will never bo disgracod.”

The team is composed of the following p'ayera :—Hons J, 0. Collins and J. S. Udal, Messrs H. G. Scott, A. B. Jaske, R. Caldwell, J. MeOwun, and W. J. Groom, Ratu Kadavu Lovu, Ratu Ternoaia, Ratu Tui Varena Vau, Ratu Naivololovo, Ratu TuiSaivau, and Ratu Epeli. The first four natives mentioned ore Bau chiefs, and the last two are Rewi chiefs. Tho native visitors are a fine stalwart lot of follows. Tho best bat amongst the native membo s is Ritu Ktdavu Levu, who is also a fast round-arm b ivvlcr. Ratu Tui Varena Van is the native fast bowler of tho team. The Fijians, though noted for being excellent men in tho field, are not quite bo successful with the bar, the team relying principally on the European members in that department of the game.

The highest score made in cup matches in Auckland this season is 09 by I. Mills.

A proposal is to bo made to play a representative eleven against eighteen “colts" before the end of the present season.

A southern writor says They have some children playing senior crickot in Nelson. L. Fowler lias intimated to Mr P Topliss, secretary of the Ciickot Association, that himself, W. Fowler, and G. Fowler, have decided not to take part with tho Nelson representative team against the Fijians, owing to the nonselection of S. Fowler in tho team. Better pick a team of Fowlers and then they will perhaps be satisfied.

“Point" writos in tho Adelaide Observer:—" Popularity is fleeting, and the cricketer familiar to everyone, and Lyons is not tho first public man who has found that to be the case. Three months ago if a plebiscite of the Australian cricketloving public had boon taken he would have stood high among those chosen for an Australian Eleven—probably one of tho first three. Hardest of living hitters, he has time after time heard tho shouts of tho multitude as ho knockod about the bowling. Who of those who caro to remember can forget that a few short months since ho scored 149 in 95 minutes against some of England’s best bowlers by such terrific hitting as had never before boen aeon at Lord’s, or perhaps anywhere else ? And many a brilliant innings has Lyons played in Australia. More than one match

which seemed hopelessly lost has ho pulled out of the fire, and it is only necessary to recall the teat match at Sydney in 1802 when ho made 134 against the Earl of Sheffield's team. Ho has been a hero. His name has been one to conjure with. Fow Australian batsmen have been able to set the nerves of the crowd tingling as he has. Now all his great doads are forgotten by the multi, udo. Ho cannot •get going.' His luck is out, likewiso his form. He is no longer a hero. Many an erstwhile admirer who was ready a year ago to shout himself hoarse when Lyons was scoring could not find hard enough words to use when the big hitter was dismissed for 7 on Tuesday evening. Fur the man who had tried all ho knew to got into form and failed there was scant sympathy at a time when a little of it might have helped a great batsman to bear a temporary reverse. Fortunately, ho%ever, Lyons has years of cricket in front of him, and it is to be hoped that he may yet make many a century for South Australia and Australia."

The annual rnatqh between Canterbury and Otago will be played on February 23rd and 25th.

The North Island team should come from the following :I. Mills, R. Neill, Kallendar, Lawson, Upliam, A. Blacklock, A. R. Holdship, Ashbolt, Nivon, Williams, J. Mills, and Lusk.

The softest ball of the third teat match evontUally got Iredule’a wicket in the second innings, for Peel chucked up a plain full toss, and in trying to pull it Iredale pub it straight up in the air, and the bowler took the catch, getting his hands, chest, and legs all under the ball to make certain of it. Iredale had a great reception o:j returning to tho pavilion. His series of fine scores against England mark him ns, next to G.ffen, the best bat in Australia. Ho did not get anything like tho same number of runs behind tho wickets as in Sydney, but his oil drives along the grass were as perfect strokes as ever seen from a driving batsman. The

Eng'ishmen joined the crowd in applauding his performance. That ho was not * lacking in force was shown by the fact that he hit 17 4’a and was hatting a little over four hours. His skill in placiug the ball was also a noble feature of his play. His wicket fell at 317, so that Iredale was in while 303 runs were being made. His eaey, upright stand at the wicket, and the manner in which ho gets over tlie ball, makes him, like Bruce, a batsman always pleasant to watch whilo scoring, though both the Adelaide and Melbourne wickets are a trifle too fast to see him at his best.

A. E. Trott punished the tried bowlers in tho Australians’ second innings at Adelaide until they hardly knew whereto pitch them, yet never losing his head for an instant, and batting splendidly. In the end Richardson again bowled Callaway, and young Trott for the second time in the match carried out his bat, this time for a splendidly made 72, giving him an aggregate of 110 for tho match without being out. Even his own comrades were astounded at the perfection of his batting, and tho first congratulations ho received were those of perhaps three of the finest batsmen in Australia —Giffen, Lyons, and Iredale, while the crowd cheered him all the way in. 110- got his runs all round the wicket, but his splendid off driving was the finest part of tho innings, and in this he rivalled Iredale. With such a performance Albert Trott jumps at once to tho front rank of Australia’s punishing batsmen. He was only an hour and a-lmlf getting his runs, and hit 1.1 4’s, overy one being clean, well timed strokes. The intense interest taken in tho third test match between the Australians and Stoddart’s team is shown by the fact that when the steamer Arcadia left Adolaido and met the Himalaya at sea, the first words signalled as soon as they could make each other out were How’s tho cricket match going P” . “England out for 124” was the reply that made many men on board miserable. SENIOR CHAMPIONSHIP. The lovely weather which prevailed on Saturday afternoon attracted a goodly number' of spectators to tho Basin Reserve. Tho Rival - Midland heat resulted in an easy win for tho latter by an innings and 13 runs, tho Rivals adding only 46 to their score of the previous Saturday. In the contest between the Wellington and Phoenix teams, the former closed their first innings for the good score of 278. Holdship carried out his bat for the fine score of 136. Tho Phoenix made a good stand against the Wellington bowling, and replied with 209 for nine wickets, Taylor being absent. Following are details of the matches. RIVALS V. MIDLAND. In their first innings tho Rivals had made 35, and tho Midlands 108. At the close of the previous Saturday’s play tho Rivals in their second attompt had five wickets down for 14, Gamble and Read being the not-out men. Gamble was beautifully caught by . Fitzsimons in the slips without having added to his score, and Read suffered a similar fate at tho hands of Warren when ho lmd made 15, tho result of very good play. Jones, who played carefully, made 11 s and Stinson, who had made 8, was cleverly snapped up by Williams behind the wickets. Tho match therefore concluded in a victory for tho Midlands by an innings and 13 runs. Wairren bowled very well. •yfie following are the scores ;

WELLINGTON V. PHCENIX. Tho Wellington innings continued from the previous Saturday closed for 278. Bethuno,, who had added five to his score, was bowled by a straight one from Chisholm, and Holdship earriod out his bat for 136, having added 12 to his previous score. The Phamix made a really good stand at the wickets, and, playing ono man short, woro not disposed of until thoy had knocked up tho respectable score of 209, all but ono (Mullins) roaching double figures. Roberts wa« top scorer with 39, closely followed fcy Bennett with 3<l. Both of them played remarkably well, Roberts especially. Bennett did not begin scoring until he had been at tho wickets about three-quarters of an hour. However, ho made up for lost time when he did begin, and the partnership botween him and Roberts was not dissolved until it had added 63 runs to tho score. Ho gave one chance —a very quick return to Ashbolt, which was not accepted—but throughout ho displayed very good scoring ability, and was loudly cheered when he was given out stumped off Ashbolt. Roberts also played a roally line innings, and had thoroughly masterod the Tbowling when ho skied one from Ashbolt, which was caught by Duncan in tho long-field. He also received a well-deserved meed of applause from tho onlookers. Webb hit, with his usual freedom, but succumbed at 22 to a nice one from Bethune, and Nivon played well for 20. The successful stand made by tho Phoenix apparently disconcerted the Wellington fieldsmen, more particularly when Roberts and Bennett stole ruus one after the other with marvellous success, and the work in the field was at times rather loose in consequence. Holdship, Judd and R. Gore, however, fielded remarkably well, and were several times applauded for their efforts. The scores are as follow?!,- - Wellington.—First Innings.

The Tliorndon C.C. defeated an oloven of Wellington Navals on Saturday by 35 runs.

Tho proceedings on the Basin Reservo on Saturday wero pleasantly diversified by tho advent of a party of Melanesians from tlio mission schooner Southern Cross. They went on to No. 1 wicket and commenced a friendly game among themselves, with, as an audience, as large a crowd of spectators as could possibly bo gathered from the four corners of the Reserve. The match was watched with the keenest interest —an infcerost which was apparently not shared in by tho fielders, who sauntered after tho ball in the most leisurely and unconcerned manner. This, of course, made rungetting a somewhat easy matter, but the nonchalance of the field was amply made up for by tho skill of one of tho bowlers, who sent in somo balls which on more than ono occasion sent tho middle stump a oouplo of yards.

Tho Rival-Excelsior heat for tho Junior Cup was finished on the Basin Reserve yesterday week. Tho Rivals, requiring 86 runs to win with four wickets to fall, wero disposed of for 20 runs, leaving tho Excelsiors tho winners by 65 runs. Baker’s contribution was 73. Bannister (sovon for 34) bowled well for tho winners. A very pleasant match was played at Waivvotu last week between Mr Worry’s eleven and the Waiwetu eleven, tho former winning by GO runs.

Major Elliot, who secured seven wickets for 20, was the most successful bowler for the winnors. Tho visitors wore entertained at afternoon tea, and generally were treated with that hospitality for which Mr and Mrs Brown and Miss Brown aro noted. The first eleven of the United Tradesmen’s Club suffered a dofeat at tho hands of tho next fifteen of tho same club, tho scores being:—Eleven, 141; fifteen, 154. For tho eleven, Lovers mado 29, C. Wyatt and Nowoll 24, S. Swinoy 19 and Hoffmann 18, and for tho fifteen Bilman (44), W. Swinoy (21), Coltmau (20) and Danks (14) wore tho chief scorers.

Tho Vivians suffered defeat at tho hands of the Kaiwarra Club by 41 runs on the first innings. Scores Kaiwarra, 120 (Flaws 28, Holmes 28, Knight 27); Vivians, 79 (Wilson 37 not out.) Knight secured three wickets for 4 runs for the winners.

The lion Mr Udal and half a dozen of the chiefs paid a visit on Tuesday afternoon to the Premier, to whom tlioy were introduced by Mr Edward Tregear.
