Received Friday, 10 p.m. MELBOUItXK. Feb. 14. Compton 's 93 was the higlilight of the Knghind- Victoria match. The weather was glorious and the wicket spleudid. Uonipton was included only when Smith becanie ill. Ile looked set for his fifth suceessive lirst class centurv when he played a crossbat stroke to a fulltosser .just af'ter a new ball was taken. The other batsmen were stodgy and uninspiriirg, waiting generally for un occasional loose ball. Compton, l'requently yanls down the wicket, drove, cut and pulled daringlv. Fisli- , loek, the opener, rarely played a foreing sliot, seoring 51 in 151 minutes. Ikin was dogged but was missed three times. The bowling was fairly good. Tribe, seeking another trial in a test, was doing better than the figures indicate. Ile had 18 suceessive overs at oue stage. Johnson split a finger and bruised a hand eatching Gibb, was unable to bowl and left the field. Scores: — EXGLAND. First Innings.
