CRICKET.

;|! NOTES BY SLIP. I l["Feli?") meitioned a short' .tinie back that • Midwinter might probably pay , another visit to the; r Old country "at the close of the present Australian season! He has informed me that he has , some, idea of leaving Australia in March, in',time for,' the" opening of, the English season, but hf^s no intention of remaining in the Old country permanently. ' , , ' M'Donnell's magnificent' innings of 239' is described fully in another column, and I ("Mid-, on ") need .only say that I have never seen a grander display. Of batting, combining extraordinary power with superb : defence. It was certainly the feature of the match,' not even excepting the fine bowling of Turner, which stamped thejatter in the opinion of all preaent as a «.« certainty for the next Australian Eleven." He is certainly a great bowler, and has a delivery almost as ..easy as Palmerj and judged physially, -I should pronounce him a stayer. Next to his 'captain, he was undoubtedly the hero of the match

- : A match was played on the Caledonian grounds between the* Wanderers Second and Thcenix Second and resulted in a win for the 'former by four wickets and 73 runs. Hungerford .'^was /the ,only one of the Pheeoix who managed to, get into double figures. Broderick (22), Esquilant..(2o),,J. Beck (34 not out), and Mason (who finished the game.by knocking the ball out of the ground, it. not having been found when- time was called) Batted well for the Wanderers. ; Sl^eck and Hanlon bowled well for the Phoenix/as did Esquilant and W.. Knox lor the Wanderers.. , The Phrenix .batted ,two short.> Albion Second played the. Waverley Second on the North ground and the' match resulted, in a win fortheAlbiqns.

Carisbbook FiasT' Elbvbn v. Albicw Fibtbbk; - 1 • •• ' - • Tho above match was started on Saturday, the day being everything that a cricketer cqold de» sire-^warm, with a clear sky, and just enough wind to temper the heat. The wicket was, s fair one, and had it not bumped occasionally -at the bottom end, would have been perfect* Albion winning the toss elected to bat, but did not start at all well< losing four wickets for 12 runs, inelud* ing their best bat, Parker, who was well caught behind; the wicket by Drabble. Clayton played nicely for 13. Gollar made 20 by hard bitting andlCalvin 2. > The innings closed for 82. Morns and Austin bowled well* backed up'by good fielding, and Drabble behind tho wickets was all there Ou Carisbrook' going, to the wicket the start was n»t at all a propitious one; Vallange being given out as caught for. 2 to all appearances from a bump ball, and Harper was unfortunate, hitting a ball on to his wicket when well set. f Four wickets for 34. T. Austin and Rattray getting together played carefully, and not losing » chance to score, 1 exactly doubled the score when time was called, neither being out. Rattray, who is batting in very 'nice style this season, made 13. r T. Austin played steadily for 21. Drabble received' a nasty blow and had to retire! bat will continue his innings next Saturday. Carr bowled very straight and kept a good length * was difficut to score off. Scores ;— Albion.— Firet Innings. Parker, c Drabble, b Morris ... ... j Dawes, b T Austin... ...

This match began on Saturday on the ground of the former. Phoenix winning the toss, took advantage of a good wicket. An exceedingly poor display of batting was shown by at least four of the players, and with five wickets down for 16, the home team's, chance of victory appeared remote. However/the vigorous batting of Frith (24), .Haskell (16), and Montgomery (14), j materially changed the appearance of things. The last wicket falling for 89 runs Th^ visitors only succeeded in totalling 49! M'Beath alone reaching double figures. In the Phoenix second, three wiokets have fallen for 49.. Harris and Niven being the not outs for 30 and 11 runs respectively. For the Southern Butlin secured seven wickets at the small cost of 22 runs, and Forrester two for 18. Opinions were freely expressed at the unfairness of the former's delivery. For the Phcenix Montgomery .bagged four for 13 and Frith 5 for 29. During the game Watson received a fearful blow in the face from a ball hit by Frith. Phcdwx.— First Innings. .Nlven, b ButHn- ... ... B ! Spring (captain), b Butlin ... '" o Harris, b Butliu ... ...
