VISITORS MAKE 220 FOR SEVEN WICKETS. SYDNEY. Nov. 20. Bardsley facing Fender resumed, New South Wales’ innings under a clear blue sky, the ominous looking clouds of the previous night disappearing with a slight shower, the effects of which were almost unnoticeable. Bardsley poked Fender’s third delivery to Woolley at first slip and the catch was accepted. In the next over he brilliantly held a snick from Kellaway off Douglas in the same position. Taylor joined Gregory who was inclined 'to open Hu) shoulders. Both settled down to steady batting, temporarily stopping the rot, "though the run getting was monotonously slow. When IT Taylor stepped out to Douglas, who accepted a very hot one low down. Hendry snicked his first ball into the slips to the boundary, but allowed the,next to pass. It broke in from the off and slipped his bails. Gregory and Oldfield seemed set for a useful partnership, but owing to a 'well-placed field runs were difficult to get. Gregory, by a bit of luck, poked one' from Howell through the slips to the boundary, bringing a cheer. He placed the next ball to mid-on for three. When 40 he lifted one from Fender straight to Makepeace, who dropped an easy catch. Throwing caution to the winds, Gregory dispatched /the next ball to the fence at long leg, .but in endeavouring to pull the next to the on boundary he was clean bowled. The remainder of the team offered little resistance. The wicket was in good condition and the failure of < the batsmen was uncountable, as the bowling was not deadly. Douglas changed the attack freEngland In the second innings displayed more enterprise . than New South Wales, but the excellent fielding of the latter kept the runs down. Hearne, going in when the score was seven, remained at the crease till 152. He played solidly for two hours and was splendidly caught at 81 _by Gregory, who at first slipped, dived, and brought off a left-hand catch. Gregory also bowled strongly, commanding the utmost respect. Douglas was subjected to good natured banter by the crowd for stonewalling. He eventually hit out at one from Mailey and was caught in the long field. His 11 took 46 minutes to score. Fender was the most aggressive batsman seen to-day, and soon reached the thirties, disclosing a pretty late cut.

LOCAL GUP MATCHES. Cook's Gardens presented a busy appearance on Saturday afternoon, -when two senior matches were being contested —College and Victoria and Imlay v. Old Boys. In the former game Victoria batted first. College fielded' and bowled well, and three Victoria wickets—K. Cave, Lomas, and Hussey —were down for a few runs. Woods and Harris made a good stand, until the former was taken by a beautiful catch by Gilmer—l for 20. Morris, batting in fine style, continued, and at the end of the play, on account of rain, his score was 90 (not out). He was helped by Leggatt, (29), and Gibson (19 not out). Victoria’s total was six wickets for 179. Scores: VICTORIA—Ist Innings. K. H. Cave, d. Stone-Wigg. b R. Gilmer 6 Wood, c H. Gilmer, b R. Gilmer ... 20 Lomas, b Wells... . ' 0 Hussey, c H.

IMLAT y, OLD BOTSj Imlay batted, Darby and Holland opening, and, notwithstanding a few uppish strokes, they managed to stay there, until the century was in sight. Darby got 55 and was out in a- 11 unusual manner. His then partner drove the ball straight along the ground, Blamires the bowler, touched the ball, which knocked the wicket down, and Darby, backing up, and being out of his* ground, was out. Holland batted well for 35, Oates 42, and Smedley 18 (not out). The rain came on, and play ceased, leaving Imlay with 218 runs for nine wickets.
