CRICKET.

NOTES BY SLIP.

la an electorate cricket match at Adelaide on the 31st ull.» Clem. Hill, playing for East Adelaide against West Torreus, delighted his supporters with one of those displays for which he has become famous. He scored 118 runs, including 16 boundary hits.

In a cricket match at Hobart on the 7th inst., Derwcnt made 556 runs, to which Wellington, their opponents, replied with 428, G. H. Gatehouse, one of Tasmania's oldest and best bats, making; 175. A unique record was, however, put up in the fact that out of 784 runs not a single bye was recorded. The wickot-keeping was done by M'Allen.

" Batsman," in the Melbourne Sportsman, has the iollowing anent the tour of the Melbourne Club's team in New Zealand : — "Charley Boss tells a good tale about one of the umpires in the Dunedin. match. It appears that Trumble bowled a batsman's off stump, but the batsmen ran. for whai they thought was a bye. Russell, one of the M.C.C. members, was umpire at the bowler's "end, but upon being appealed to he said that he could not see what had happened, so had to say ' not out.' Then the other umpire — a local man — was approached, but his decision was also ' not out.' And being asked his reason. he said that the ball had not hit the wicket, but that the concussion caused by the ball striking the ground near it had caused the bails to fall. There is a new terror for batsmen, if you like ! It is tho richest explanation I have ever heard." WELLINGTON v. AUCKLAND. AUCKLAND, April 14. The cricket match Auckland v. Wellington was commenced afc the Domain this morning". The weather was excellent, but owing- to the recent rain the wicket was somewhat difficult, and the scoring was very slow. April 16.
