NOTES.

The following will represent Civil Seir-1 vice in their match against Law ait Tu- j kapa Ground at 2.30 o'clock to-day:—; Wood, Bowles, Girling. Mackie, Dinniss, Hoby, Bocoek, Reid, Napier, Bollinger, emergencies, Sullivan, Brabant, Mackie... The following will represent the Law Cricket Club against United Service today at the Tukapa Ground:—Lash, Elliott, Bewley, Hill, Turnbull, Greatbaclh, Clapham, Newall, Lawrey, Johnson and Harding. The recent announcement that a Sydney Junior Association had decided to have eight balls to the over led the official recorder to an analysis of the time likely to be saved, taking last season's figures as a basis. In the A and B grades, 13.345 overs were bowled, wihich, under t'he eight-balls system, represented a saving of 333 C changes. Allowing one minue for each change, the saving effected in the season meant fifty five hours, or eighteen and a-half playing afternoons of three hours each. The K'lterlatian also of the time between innings from ten to five minutes was i also worked out, and tihis showed a fur- ' ther saving in .the aggregate of twenty- | six hours, or nearly nine afternoons. Since matches on even terms were instituted in 18.80, Victoria and South Australia ha?e met forty-seven times, Victoria having won twenty-seven and South Australia twenty matches.. From 1808 to 1903 Victoria had a run of ten •wins; but South Australia has since won eight out of thirteen matches. In Adelaide one Saturday lately, the'' batsmen had a glorious time. D. R. A. f!eh,rs made. 191 and J. Fellow 112 for North Adelaide out of a total of 451 for five wickets. A very pleasing item, in view of the forthcoming test matches, is that Clem Hill was to the fore with a first-rate 130, which .included a sixer and thirteen fours. The Sturt score was 275 for three wickets. In a ladies' cricket match at Broken Hill last month, Miss Snell, playing for West Broken Hill, scored 67 runs. Mrs. Smith, of the same team, was responsible for a remarkable howling feat. She took five wickets for 4 runs in the first in-

wings of Maxim, and five for 2 (including the lhat trick) in the second. West beat Maxim by 1.37 to 19 and 8. Mrs. Smith clean-bowled eight of her opponents, and had another caught off her trundling, She also caught one opponent off a companion's bowling. In a form, ma'tdh at the Sydney Grammar School a week or two ago, M. Gillies secured nine wickets for no runs, the side being dismissed for 13, besides scoring 87 runs in Ms only innings—a remarkable performance. Pegler had the misfortune to make a "pair" in the Victorian match. The South African to date has played four innings for 3 runs—o, 3, 0, 0. Noble undoubtedly batted Paddington to victory against Waverley. His side wanted 340, and M.A.X. wias responsible for 176 not out of the total, which was made for the loss of eight .wickets. It ■was a chanceless innings, his on-side strokes being as soundly executed as ever. Auckland is anxious for a visit from Canterbury on January 28, 30 and 31. Tlie Canterbury Association are of opinion that another effort should be made to secure the Plunket shield, and if representative players can make the trip it will come off. In that event the funds will be raised by a shilling subscription.
