NOTES BY SLIP.

* . • The Duuetfia Ciub has never defeated the Grauge before last S*lucday. • . • H. Boddingtcn, who pk-omised to be of cou!>idfc»able assistance to the United Eleven, has ( ; .he Canterbury Tiaue3 says) received orders to hold himeelf in readiness to leave Chiij-tcbuvch.

• . • No less than 10 balls were knocked to ■pieces in the recent ms,tch between Now South Wales and South Austr«vlia at Adelaide, whore thfi rubble that has been tipped roiind the oval is terribly destructive to balls. • . ' At Wellington lass S*fcurday, in fcbe Senior Cup ms.lch- Midlands v. Rivals, the first innings of the Midlands closed for 548, of which K. Tucker contributed 180.

•.'The way in which Black, of the Albion Club, was disposed g£ en Saturday last ia the Senior Cup match on the North ground savoured of si-arp practice. An appeal w&3 made against him for leg before wiukeb and was answered in his favour. Black misunderstood the umpire's decision and left tha crease, aud when he had discovered his mistake aad was returning tha vricketkeeper, having secured the ball, broke the wicket..

• . ' A par&graph in the Canterbury Times ea-ys that the Canterbury Criekat Ast.oci»..ic>n ha.B received an explanation from W. C, H. Wigley concerning his absence from the Canterbury team during the match aga.ii:i>b V/»lliDgton, which it considers unsati&f actor? . The very text paragraph states that Wigley i» to be married during the present month.

• . ' " Observer" writes in tha AustmHsian : " When the lasts Australian Elaven went Home there was much argument rs to whether Ho^ell or Charlie M'Lqod should not be taken. There will be no indecision about oither of them nexo ticae, and 'Beekeeper Bill' will have to perform very badly indeed to miss the trip if he stays in Australia." • . • The Cup Committee of the Olago Cricket A peciation ara a curious set of people. At t be beginning o£ the season they, deliberately sacr ficed three Saturdays on which play was pofrsible. On Saturday last, whan the grounds wfre really unfit for plaj', the committee decided that the Cup matches should be coutiuued — & decision which I take to mean that if tbe umpires did not decide otherwise play should be continued. The Albion wicket, on ■which the Opoho and Albion clubs were playing, was rfmply in a disgraceful condition, and I ttii?"k the clubs would have dtcli»edto play had they not been in doubt as* to what the Cap Ci mtnittee would' do with them ia such contingency. • . • While all patriotic Australians have naturally desired that A. E. Stoddart's JSuglish team should lose the rubber on the other side, that desire was not; incompatible with a further desire that the visitors should win tha match that wm concluded ag&ioafc them l»«fc week at Melbourne. Afl it is tho fifth test match can only ba forested- with any real mteiesfc if Trott should for OBCB lose tha toss aiad the English team should pilo u^ a heavy score in their first innißgs. Tka OBe suWjtofc for all-round congraial&tiou in connection with the result of the tourth test match is that ib hafr laid to rest the unworthy suspicion which was entertained by naany worfchy people that the results were "faked" with a view to the "-gwtsß." • . • According to a Christehucch writer H. C. and A. E. Ridley, Clark, Pearce, Ganrrard, and D. Reese will all ba unable to spare the time to represent Canterbury against Otago, bub from tike form labely shown by several ofchei: players who wens not in&luded in the Canterbury team in the North Island tour there is no doubt that, although the services of the players nawed will Be greatly missed, the vacancies will bo filled m sneh a manner as to enable the team to vrortbily upheld the honour of tbe province. • . • Mr W. Mac-lean, hon . secretary of the Otago Association, has received the followiag letter from Mr F. C. Raphael, hon. secretary of the Canterbury Association :—": — " I am iastrucbed by my committee to inform your association bkab the dates for the above mabob, as suggested by your commibtea, have been agresd bo. I am iurther. directed to inform your committee that the following resolution was agreed to : ' Tb.it in future the annual match Ofcago v. Cnuterbury be played in the moutiia of December or January.' " • . • The Wednesday match University v. Oceana produced an exciting finish. The hill team, who batted first, were all disposed of by the Crawford' brothers, who caught sr bowled the 1.0 wickets. Although the score was only 58, ihey showed good defence all through, Brooka

and Mason being eppGci&lly prominent. The first 'V&rsity batsman scored hteadily, but the excellent bowling of J. King and Burke was too good for the other batsmen, and the wickets fell fast until Legg and Abel, two promisiag colts, nuie a timely stand and won the match by 1 run. Ib should be mentioned that 3 ruus were scored by fieldsman failing to take three catches eff the bowling of King at the critical period of the game. • . " The Dunedin Club have unquestionably got M'Kerzie to thank tor their victory over tbe Giaoge Club ket Saturday. The latter, in the minority in which they were in on the first innings, did not score nearly enough last Saturday to make themselves safe, and yet the wicket, though soft, did nob afford the bowlers any at-sistance. The fact is that when A. Downes, the bist forcing batsman the Grange have, was caught at tbe wickets from his eecoud ball, which, aimesi a wide, was tipped by him, their chance of running up a reasonably good score and yet leaving themselves timß to get tbeir oppontnts out was g^ne. Ciamond played nicely, and now that he has gob a s-larfc with double figures in senior cricket I trust he will show more of the good foim that was responsible for his scoring bo beaviiy in junior matches last eeasou, bat ib was Parker who played the' best innings for his eide, the Grange captain contributing 25 by very serviceable cricket.

• . • When Kinvig and Croxford started the Duiiedin team's second innings and the fi> B t two overs produced- 8 runs,- it seemed as though the 77 rans that were required would be got quickly, but whf n in the third over Croxtord «as bowled by A. Downes with a ball that kept low and in the fourth ovqr th.3 ts§b bowler dismissed Kinvig, the score being unaltered, the Grange ha<i a possible chance of success. Shortly after thia there was a heavy f>ho<verof ram, and the Duncdm umpire started far the pavilion ; but tho Grange utnpire and tho fieldsmen would not budge, and the game went on in the rain. Clarke made sonits very preity cuts, and was scoring qu : cbly when he was r&thc-r stupidly run out. He had previously been missed at third man from a sharp chance to a substitute who was fielding for Robinson. The score by the (ime (Jlarke was dismissed mounts to 28. M'Crorie and Fish> the next two men, were, like Clarke, run out, the batsmen almost rivalling "ihe silly performance of the Carisbrook Bees a fortnight previously under similar ciicuotistances and iguoriog what was their pain duty — to keep up their w ckels and wait for the iuus to coca*', as they surely will. Fish's slamming had, however, been mainly instrumental iv increasing the tcore by 23 for the fifth wicket.

• . • When M'Farlaue joined M'Kcnzie, who had been playiog very stubbornly aad properly declining to take any risks, the fcrh graph board showed 60 for five wickets, and the match was, bay accident*, hopeless for the Gr*ugo. P*tker conjioittfad, I tbiuk, an error of judgment in fcw-piug T Downes at the bowling crease. He would, ia my os»inion, have dorse better if he had not put (ho fast bowler on at all on such a wicket, but have gone on himself . It was A. Dawnes to whom the sixth wicket fell, M'FarJane being dism s*ed by him at 66. With 11 rnns wanted, and two such slickers as M'Kerzia and Beck at rha wickets, it was thought that although the runs would certainly come, it v?O!)ld be a very long while before they were sveured. As it happened they came m 10 nainu les,1 es, but that was accomplished b}' tho incurring of risks that were quite indefensible, th© barmen purfcuiag a policy that deserved to be suicidal in running short runs. M'Ker*zie, who had played strictly the proper gamo &% far as his batfing was concerned, was accorded a very warm reception by his comrades pfcer the winning nm had been obtained. • . " Referring to the fact that tho first team to bat in e>ich of the fiisb three test matches scored over 500 tune, " Point," in the Adelaida Observer, says :—": — " If the cricketers who are delighting the Australian public this season had played their three matches at Lord's, Ket>ni;igtcn Oval, and Old Traff >rd, where th.-se great coubestß are decided in England, and had bathed under the most favourable conditions on those class ; c grounds, there would probably not have been a single aggregate of 500 Cricket in the two countries is aa entirely different game. Iv England the bowlers can invariably manage to qo\> st'tnes^ia ou the ball on the very best wickets, buS out here ib ia hearlbreakiug for them to bowl against, batsmen like R>u j'ts-iuhji, MioLaren, Kill, Iredale, Doling, Gktgory, aad Trott on a pitch whereon ib ia impossible to turn the ball if they bowl at a fair pace. It is only tha fact that there are an unlimited number of days available for matches in A.ustrslia that permits these high-scoring conditions to continue. If wickets were as good in England, where mutches are limited, to a duration oi three days, you would soon have a proposal that tte stumps should be widened and lengthened or the bat made narrower. On the whole, possibly, cricketers do nob obj' ci; to tLe favourable batting wickers which prevail in Australia, and it is certain that the committees that manage the cricket grounds do not, for long matches between fairly even sides mean more motisy." "S Hitsuow, too," the writer ti-uly adds, "the public prel-er to see tall scoring than to watch the wickets falling rapidly. A boiler might capture half a dczsn wickets for 20 runs oa » sticky wicket 1 , which would be a very fine performance-, but he w>>uld not leceive one-half the public approbation that would be bebtowed on a batsman who knocked up 100 runß on a perfect pitch."

• . • In his notes oa the third test m*tch "ObseiVfr" ssys : — "The G»ffeu controversy Las almost diad out in Adelaide, and although George threatens revelations, he is too late, and has left hi» time go by. Tne greater question, that of expenses, which has not gone by, but is only conning on — aud which I first raised some time ago — is being very keenly discussed in Adelaide. They take the tur-seeiug view that if Australian amateurs ara to be held down to expenses, or anything like ifc — and thst contention has been adracced by bouib of the \.ro-

mofcera — the fate of Australia is to become siHa^Jy a nursery for English county cricket. All our professionals have gone or are going, Trott, Roche, and O'Hilloran — every man ■whose success justifies the step, and who has found oufe that profe3sioua's are paid by the pound in England and by the crown in Australia. Sydney can offer Kelly, the wickebkeeper they hare wanted for years, coohiug much better than pick and shovel work ab labourer's wages ; and with two Euglish counties offering him an engagement I don't seehow Sydney can expect to keep him much longer — unless they are willing to do something for cricketers as well aa for cricket. Jones fully realises hij folly in uob having stayed iv Eaglrnd, where the rule as regards payment o£ amateurs is relaxed every time it io convenient to do ao. Jones himself win to have played ai an amateur with Sussex. Purria played as an amateur with Gloucester, and as keen aspjjebsman as the Hon. Alfred Lytte.lton has publicly justified such a step. T\ i ' dhc rising am%t(*urd to-day — the n<n °hi> / 1.. wock fur their living — stay r in w, v■■ ' •>• in sw;h temptation of ap. i-i iiJ'i ■i, , It •a ? That ia tha question r:.>u l> r , <■£ cricket are asking, ao-' '/£■< ' „t .i Uicosae more

urgent eveiy >ear as new fieida for cricket open up iv South Africa and India. During a chat a leading Australian pointed out to ma bbat Australian Eleven tours are tbe one inducemeut to representative Australians to stick to their own country, and they are independent enterprise?, for the success of which the players thank no one but thsmsalves. Ereu then only two men have really saved money from Australian tours in England. Thns, while our leading grounds ara being enlarged and made more magnificent every yenr, lifctle ia being dene for the cricketere, who ara the firsb impulse in al! progress of this kind. Ibis an open secret that Jim Phillips has comecotnmisrioned on thia trip to look oub for promising recruits, and that he has his eye on two men at least. This is the big question of the near future, aud one or two Australians who will command mora afctentiou than George G'ffm will have a word to Bay on it when this tournament ia over." • . • The weather was fine bub the wicket was slow at Christchurch on Saturday. Tbe Midland Bk-Tcn ecored 190 (Garr*rd 8 ,2, D R«ese 33, W&e&tley 35, Bates 33) against the Lancaster Park B.'ertu, who losb two of their Its 3 important wickets for 2 cuds.

Brbk now partnered M'Keiizio (\*ho meanwhile had been keeping up his end in fine style), and the Grange total was passed without further disaster, the score standing at 79 for six wickets when stumps were drawn. M'Kenzie, although he only made 15, w.as quite the hero of the day. Going in at a time when a rob seemed immiuenb, he took no liberbies with the bowliD?, and ib was mainly due to his efforts , I that the required runs were obtained. Beck carried out his bat for 9. A.
