NEW SOUTH WALES SYDNEY, dun. 27 For t'ne Sheffield Shield cricket mutch tlie weather was line, and tlie wicket faster. The remaining five Victorian batsmen made a very poor showing, collapsing before the howling of Scott and Mailev, and much improved field work. New South Wales opened badly. Bardsley went at seven. Then Collins, playing very cautiously, and Macartney, who was -lashing and brilliant, were in a partnership that added 111. Mara M tic.', was badly missed early in bis innings. The following three wickets fell quickly. Then Tvippax joined Collins, and stopped the rot. Collin-:- played one of his pluckiest innings. Kippax and Hendry played a sound, forceful innings. The Victorians tried all their howling talent, and the fielding was very keen.

The A’ictorian first innings realised 353 runs. The remaining chief scorers were; Park 00, and Willis 42. For N.S.AY. Scott took 3 for 83 and Afailoi 3 for 93.

New South Wales have lost six for 291. Collins made 100, .Macartney 05. Kippax (not out) 00, and Hendry (not out) 25.
