Oval I found that a number of accounts were outstanding, owing to ■ I •; • ' 1> v!il: . I !;f' the fact that a considerable portion of the revenues of the Oval had v\ been used in defraying the ordinary expenses of the Club. The payment of these accounts made a sad inroad on the fund which would otherwise have been at my disposal, and necessitated the exercise of the strictest economy. I have consequently been unable to make many improvements which are urgently called for, and without which the ground will not become as attractive as it should ■ ' i. I'.,' I. I . be made. Nevertheless, I think the Committpe will agi’ee with me that the small fund at my disposal has been used to the best advantage. The .playing ground has received the necessary atten tion ; a portion of it has been re-turfed, and I am happy to state that the wieketa are now in excellent condition, A start has been made with the task of filling up the low-lying portions of the iiclding ground, and upwards of live hundred loads of stull' have been deposited in various parts of it. The magnitude of this work, and the late period of the year to which its commencement was neces sarily delayed, vvill have the eft'ect of making the fielding ground a little uncomfortal)le during the first month of the season, but the ir iuconvenieuce will be of but short duration, and will, I feci sure, bo patiently bonic witli when it is remembered that it is due to the ibeginning of an improveinont which will, when completed, render the ground one of the beat in the colony. The pavilion has been renovated and painted throughout, and presents a clean and attractive appearance. Daring the recess an effort was made to collect a fund to bo devoted tc the special purpose of laying tho water on to the ground. A subscription list—confined to members of the club—was opened, and the sum of £70, has already been collected. It is hoped that the whole of the sum required (about £200) will be I realised before the close of the approaching season. Without a constant and unfailing supply of water the ground can never be put t!'

In the first placc, the depiirture of the Sydney iiontmj{cnt •'pf the Anglo-Australian team weakened many of tlie leading: eluljs, and although the matches of tlic season were more evenly contested than usual, yet there was hu Uiny a certain brilliancy of play notjaeable in the last few seasons. Despite i tllis, however, the season will compare favourably in result* with any foiiner ones. Twice this colony has met the sister colony of Victoria, and on each occasion has she proved victorious; so that,;although our “ gi-cat guns” deserted us to taclde higher game, lyet; the honor of the colony did not sull'er in tho hands of thoso to wluwa it was entrusted. Till) t>vo most important matches of the soasun, played in Sydney, were the Intercolonial and the Combination Matches. In both of these tlie highest class of cricKefc was shown, and the colony acquitted itself \|-ell. Tho/Coriibiued Australian Team, by their travelling, tended to make us aeytiainted with other than our local cricket. Got together early in thp sv^son, they paid visits to the most important colonies, and alth«^u^h' the trip was undertaken from pecuniary motives, and as a prelhniniu-y to the great undertaking, still it did great good in bringing into a closer union and more intimate acquaintance the cricketing circles of each colony. A reauxnt) of. the past season would iiardly be complete wtliout a l>assing notice of the doings of our cricketers at home. On their departure no over sanguine expectations were indulged in, but as victory followed after victory it was clearly proved that the attempt to meet English cricketers on their own soil was not too premature. Without shutting our eyes to the fact that several signal defeats have been sustained, we may still congratulate ourselves on being able to furnish cricket which, in quality, is equal to the best of English cricket. The match against tho Maryleboiie Club •will be vivid in the recollections of Englishmen for years to come, and even if subsequent reverses have shewn that our men jjlayed above their standard on that occasion, still it will make colonial cricket appreci ated as it never was before. That the victory then secured was opportune for tho success—financially and otherwise of the imdcr- taking—none can deny, but there was yet another result of it which Avas disadvantageous. Taking the lesson to heart, the English Clubs 22 23 in it.

The Albert Cricket Ground, .so the profuse hospitality of an enthusiastic member of our Club on the previous evening, our team collapsed and left the field thoroughly identified with our best cricket—the scone of our best vanquished. and most important contests—has been played upon for the last time perhaps. It would be useless, and serve only to stir up old In January, 1878, a drawn game was played with the Redfern gi-ievances, which it is to be hoped will be buried in the memory of Cricket Club, in which Faithfull secured the trophy for highest score, the past, to recount the causcs of the downfall of the Albert Ground in a single innings, with the fine score of 70 runs obtained by Company.

On the {From the “ Sydney Mail,” January Qth, 1872.] whole, Egglestono was far the most useful Avith the leather; the pace I uecd not give you any detailed account of the University Match, was good, the ballsi tolerably straight, and not easy to put away, in V)ut the game presented a few points worthy of more than a passing "enet al, though Coates gave thein pepper now and then. The lield- remark, and on these it may be as well to enlarge a little. The nig was i^idifferent as a whole ; but Thomas is an excellent longatop, cricket, tliough by no means up to intercolonial form (and who could and Egglestone saved a good many runs. in reason expect it to be so ?) was in places really excellent; though Great was i the glee .and loud the shouts of the Sydney men when on the other hand there wore various defects of skill and judgment Donald Campbell went back without a run to his name. A ball to which I hope to have room to advert. Commencing with the from ifaitliful ht^d risen high, and went up off the glove, an easy iirst innings of the Sydney men, the first thing calling for eomuienda- chance to point. .Hard luck for the crack batsman of Victoria, tion is 11. U'eecc’a innings of 27. This, considering that the batsman whose appearance at the wicket had set the tieldsmon quaking. was entirely out of practice, was really a good performance—the Fifty or 5uixty,riuis|, at least, they had fully expected him to make. defence was firm, the hitting hard and welhtimed. The worst point Nor.Avas Civnipbell much niore successful ui his second innings ; this in Mr. Teece’s batting is the stiffness of his style. Next must be time, however, ho deserved no better fate, for ho hit right across a mentioned T. Iceton’a 32, which was one of the two best innings of trimmer from Faithful, and his leg stump came down. An excellent tlie match—tlie other being Hepburn’s first of 30. T. Iceton is a innings was Hepburn’s first—nor was his second inferior, so long as fast-improving batsmaii: he got his runs without giving the field the it lasted. • It', is 8i\id that this batsnuin has no honour in his own faintest cliancc, ami almost the only complaint to which his play is co\tntry—being often bowled before he has played at the ball. open is that it is nearly all on the off. This peculiarity is caused Here, then, the eoiuparative alowiiess of tlio jMbert Ground (which, by a dau^'erous and \ingainly habit of drawing away to the leg side though we call it fast, our neighbours find quite the reverse) must of tJie ^wicket just as the jlall is delivered, and its consequence is hav'e helped him. I don’t care much Jiow lie ])erfornis with the that a number of balls on the middle, and even sometimes the leg willow in Victoria—he has shown enough to prove that were lie a stump, are cut at. This sometimes pays, especially with one who resident of Sydney he must be counled amoi\g ovir cracks. Playing cuts 80 hard, but it is most risky, leaving the wicket often to be patiently, and hitting seldom, but to good ])urpose, he did not lift a defended by a bat that is not straight. This danger was exemplified ball, save that just before his exit in the first innings Barton, at in the very iiniings alluded to—for the ball that got rid of Iceton. short leg, got from him the inevitable skyer, and ran everywhere was ijitched on the ofi' and took the middle stump, the batsman being except under it. Dan. Wilkie never seemed quite at homo, though (luite unable to oppose a straight bat to it through standing so far he made 17 and 10 ; but the Melbourne Captain is a capital bat. and wide of his stumps. Iceton pimished the slows a good deal, and no hits to square leg hard and low. Jennings made two good innings, Avonder, for poor stufT they were. Captain Dan. was evidently quite but plays too nnich back; forwaj'd play would have saved his wici f-f: <1 BRITISH PLATE '.'1') AND I' ■ yVlEMBER^, 1877-78.

Report of general (Committee for Season W0J-W02, •/■TOUR Conimill'je ha.s niucli pleasure in submitling for your consideration and adoption their Thirty ^ Sixth Annual Rei>ort. Vour Chib during the past season was represented in the Second and Third Grade Competitions. Your Coniinittec have to congratulate you on the success wl)ich attended your First Eleven. 'I'he record o f this team was highly .satiiit'actory. Out o f eleven matches played eight weic won, one lost, and three diawn. This left your Club etiual in Cornijetition points with tiic Leicliiiardt-Bidmain team, and a final m..‘ cii was jilayed at the .Sydney Cricket Ground, wi-.ich your representatives won after a very cxciting game by six run.s. '1 he team throughout the season was ably captained by Mr. 11. M. Stephen. The batting average was gained by Mr. E. J. (IregKon, with an average of 60.3, closely followed by Mr. I'-. C. Ileden, who i\as bceti one of the most ccnsi.stent j)erfortuers for the (i)lub during the past ■ \ /f ® /- seven years, ami his hjss will ht. severely fi.U \\hiui ncxl season cricketcrs of a higher class will be met with. Mr. 11. J'!. M anning lias also served his elub with considerable credit, and !ii:; fast bowling will lie greatly missed. 'I’he best box'-ling averages were oblaineil l)y Messrs. A. 1). Fi.sher (14.6), P. J. McSharry (14.7), and A. Verge (14.S). 'I'he hitter’s live wiekets for 12 rinis against Petersham being of great merit. Mr. P. J. Mc.Sharry, who secured the greatest number of wickets, will be unavailable during next season, as be has left the University. The centuries were not as numeious as iii previous seasons, lliree only being obtained, viz.:— E. C. Ileden i.]j, II. 1',. Manning 124, and 11. M. Ste[)hen 123. At a Committee M(;eting held in June it was decided that application be made to the New South Wales Criek(;t Association for admission to the ist (jrade Competition. This application was granted. The ([ualificalion of the team will probalily be the same as that which obtained during last season, viz.— Undergraduates attending lectures of not more than eight years standing. Now that the I'irst 'IVam has been admitted to the Senior Grade, year Commitlcc take this opportunity of iminessing upon all members of the teams the necessity of diligent practice in all depart ments of the game, especially in fielding. The ('ommitlee hopes that your Club will have the same success as it has had eluring the past four seasons in the Second Grade. The Second lUeven in the Third Grade Competition played twelve matches, of w'hich four were won, six lost, and two drawn. This result is not very satisfactory, but w’ith the whole o f last year’s team available, and a number of promising men coming up from the Schools, your Committee anticijiate that the team will occupy a much higher position in the .Second Grade than in the Third Grade. The Grounds Committee are making arrangements to lay down another block, of practice wickets on the other side of llu; oval to the present ones, wliere we hope for much better wickets than we have had for the ]XiSt few seasons. \\'e now trust that members of the University wil! avail themselves of the great facilities for [ir.ittice tluis [>rovided, and your Committee are of opinion ov/ing to the increased interest which will be taken in the Club now that it is playing in higher grades, and the number o f promi.sing young players available that we m.iy look forward for a successful season. The Annual Im.er-Univcrsity match was this year arranged to take place at Melbourne, on March 26th, 27th, 28th, l)ut owing to heavy uid jjcrsistent rain the match had to be discontinued after the first day’s play. The Melbourne men on a good wicket compiled 350 runs for nine wickets. E. J. Body secured 4 wickets for 96, H. M Stephen 2 for 36, and A. 1). Fisher 2 for 34. Your repre.sentatives were hospitably entertained by the M.U.C.C. at a dinner, and by the various Colleges, and were made honorary members of the ‘‘ University Club,” which had just been inaugurated, and many old Inter-University representatives weie met there. T h e annual visit was also made to Singleton, and in a return match on the Oval, L. O. S. Poidevin compiled 130 not out. A match was also played on the Oval with a Western Districts Team. The Annual Undergrads v. I'reshers match w'as won by the former. Several Freshers displayed very good form. The Arts-Science v. .Medicine match resulted in a draw. The former team made 350 runs, L. K. Ward with S3 runs and J. \\'. Wi'odburn with 78 batted well, G. R. C. Clarke taking five wickets Mcdicine lost six wickets for 200 runs, P. J. Mc.Shany and E. J. Body securing the wickets. The Undergraduates and Third lileven ])layed their usual series of Wednesday matches. Saturday matches were also arranged for the Thirds. Two members of your Club repre.sented the State in the International and Inter-State matches, viz., L. O. S. Poidevin and (j. R. C. Clarke, and we l)eg to congratulate them on their success against Mr. Maclaren's team. Vrteraii.s’ Report. — V(jur Veteran Team on the past season played 22 matches, of which three were won, 14 k)sl, and fi\o di.iwn. Althcnigh the result is not very satisfactory from a cricketing point of view, yet the season has been one of the most eiijoyalilr sinee ihe fcirnialion of the team, and despite the number of defeats the keenest interest was displaye \ Mr. J. S. Ciiri^ill conies first in the batting averages with ;ui average o f 26.2 for six innings, hut os he played in less than half the matches. Dr. i’. .S. Jones with an average of 24.i for 10 innings secures Dr. Maitland’s trophy (a bat) for the liigiiest batting average. Dr. Stacy again proved himself the best all routid cricketer in the team, coming third in the baiting averages with t!ie highest aggregate, 218 for 14 innings, anast season. Mr. Hickson also performed tlie “ hat trick.” With the interest that is now taken in the doings of the Veteran team by the older members of the University Cricket Chib, and the keenness of the members of last year’s team, many of whom are still available, it is anticipated that the coming season w'ill be quite as enjoyable, and more .successful, than the last.

T N pre.scnting for your consideration and ado[)tion their Thirty-Seventh (37th) Annual Report, your Committee \vi:,h to congratulate the Club on l>eing once again represented in the First Grade Com petition. It was in the Season 1897-S tliat your C:iul) last took part in the First Grade Com petition, the qualificati;)n tlien being all niatricuiated students. After a lapse of four seasons, your Club again figures in the Fi’si Oude, a reinstatement well earned by the success of your i.st XI. in the Second Grade Competitioii during that lime. I'iic >. ' V' ■\ againsl Olchc, (jciilral (Jiimbcilaiul, niul Ki'ilfcrn ; whilst tlie last, a;4.iiii.st I’adiiinglon, ix’siiltuii in a diaw. In two o f i Ik.: in.Uclics lost, tin; team had lu bat on a sticky wickcl on the sccoiid d;iy alter bo'viing on a perfect wicket the previous Satinxkiy. The team com es out ahead (jf Kedfern, and ecjuai with l,eich- hardt-JJaimain mid t'entral Cumberland for seventh place. Statistics show' iluU. only thice o f the Club:; scored more runs diirin” the season, tb(; number scored ijy your team being 2,3ry for the loss of 114 wickets, averaging 20.33, against 2,285 Ibr 115 wickets scored against us, averaging m.(_)(). In l)owling tlie learn stands even belter, as Messrs. Verge and Fisher come fourth and filth respectively on tlie list with 36 and 34 wickets. 'I'he team was ably cai>taincd during the season by Mr. H. M. Stephen. 'J'lie batting averages are headed by Mr. J. \V. Wocjdburn, with an average o f 31.36, a Titling enil to his coniiectlon w'ith the team during four years, and tlie large amoiml of work he has done for l.i’c Clul). Mr. Woodbtirn also was the only member of the team to .score a century, ijy 0. Redfein. Tlie following also had averages of over 20;—Messrs. S. IT ] larri.s, 28; V). C. Close, 26.11; L. K. Ward, 23-75; J' ('i"i;gson, 22.4; E. F. Waddy, 21.7 Tlie bowling averages are headed by Mr. A. D. Fisher, whose 34 wickels cost 14.29 runs each. Otliers who did good work are Messrs. A. Verge, 36 at 20.8, and S. W. rowell, 16 at 18.81. 'I'iie fielding of the team ^vas patchy, sometimes very ijood, at others bad and slovenly. Vouv Committee would recoinnie'iKl fTiatTIiis year specTal efforts be made to get the team to practise not only catching and ground fielding, but also returning the ball to tlie wicket. 'I'his could eaSily be done by members taking it in turn to stand in middle of the ground, and hit out catches to the fieldsmen. Your 2nd XI. has not been at all successful. It played twelve matches, of which only one was w’on, one drawn, and the rest lost. The batting averages are headed l.iy Mr. W. (jrey with 3 innings (2 not out) for 58, with Mr. L. K. Ward (40,84) second. Mr. S. W. Powell, though only in the team half tlie season, easily heads the bowling averages, taking 29 wickets at a cost of 9.69 runs each. 'J’hc Annual Inter-University Match was |>layed on the Sydney Cricket Ground during the Easter recess (the Oval being unavailable), and resulted in a win for Sydney by 194 runs. 'I'he match was marred by wet weather, and shows that, if pcjssible, it should be held earlier in the season. Your team scored 329 and 57 for 9 wickets (innings declared closed) against 154 and 38, but it is only fair to Melbourne to say that all through the luck was against them. Messrs. Manning, \A’addy, and Gregson batted well for 71, 58, and 58 respectively, but even better work was done with the bidl by Messrs. Manning and Verge, who took 7 wickets for 37 and 8 for 43. The game show'ed that definite rules are wanted for LUer U'iiiversity matches, and your Committee recommends that such be made at once. Tlie following were awarded their cricket Blue for playing in the match ;— Messrs. D. C. Close, Dr. (J. R. C. Clarke, J,. i'owlishaw, A. D. Fisher, E. J. Gregson, S. H, Harris, II. E. Manning, S. W. Powell, A. Verge, E. F. Waddy, j. W. NVoodburn. With regard to Blues, your Committee is strongly of opinion that now that your Club is playing Senior cricket, which is of a much higher standard than Inter-University cricket, the qualification for the cricket Blue should be altered “ to int:lude those who have taken part in not less than two-thirds (^irds) o f the total niMnber o f matches played during the .season in the First Grade Com petition." During the season, the members of the Club felt the want of good practice wickcts, the wickets at times being very bad. ’I’his is to be accounted for to a great extent by the w'ater being cut off from the ground, but now tliat it is open for use again the wickets should be up to match standard. Another long-standing want is a ground bowler. At present the bowling is sometimes absolutely useless for practice, and has the effect of causing men to neglect turning up for practice at all. A ground bowler would not only make men go down for batting practice, but would make it much easier to get the team togeth.er for fielding practice. I Your Club was represented in the return match New South Wales v. Queensland, in Sydney, by Mr. E. K Waddy. T'he Annual l''reshers’ Match resulted in a draw. Judging from the form shown, some of the Freshers should be useful during the season. The usual Arts-Science v. Medicine M.atch fell through owing to Medicine not being able to raise a team. I/ist season your Club could not see its way to making the usual trip to Singleton, but during the visit of the Singleton C.C. to Sydney the match was played against them on the Oval, resulting in a draw. The usual Wednesday and 3rd XI matches were played throughout the season. Looking forward to the coming season, we regret to have to fill the [)laces of Messrs. Grcg.son, Stephen, W.ird, and Woodbiun, whoso loss, not only from the field, but the Committee room, will be greatly felt. \Ve trust that some o f the Freshers will be able to worthily fill their place. r \ I Ir!

In all i() inatchcs were played, S of which weie won, 9 lost, and two drawn. ’I'he bat- tiny of the team as a whole was [)oor as compared with |)ast |)crformances, and the sticccss achieved was due to the good bowling performances of several of the members. -I'he Veteran team has joined the City and Suburban Cricket A.ssociation—an Association formed during the year to [jromote and control the game of cricket among the .social clubs not engaged in any Compelition. iMessrs.

The ibt XL of your Club was again represented in the ist Grade Competition, the qualifications Vfor active members being the same as those during tlie previous .season. Of the nine Competition Matches played by the 1st XL, those against Glebe, Burwood, Paddington, Sydney, and North Sydney were lust, tiiat against Waveriey was won, whilst drawn gann;s were [d.iyed with s'- Leichhardt-15almain, Redfeni, and fjenlral Cuniiierland. Although this record does not aiipear so good on paper as that of the ist XL of last season, yet the Club was unfortunate in not winning some of the drawn games. 4 " ■ \ The battiiif' averages of the ist XI. are headed hy Mr. E. F. Waddy, the Ca[)tain of llie leani, with t!ie splendid average o f 6 6 ’57. M r. Waddy to|)[)cd the century on three occasions in (>jni[)elition Matches with 146 against Leiehhardt-liahiiain, 120 not out against Redferji, and 118 against Waverley. Mr. A. 1), Fisher, who com es second with an average o f 3 8 'i4 , also reached three figures in tlie matcli against Waverley, Other meritorious balling performances are those of Messrs. Harris, Balcomhe, Verge, and Mackay, all o f whom obtained averagc;s o f 20 or over, and dis[)laye 'The newly formed City and Siihiirhan Cricket Association, to wliicli your Vcter.ui Team belongs, [iroved of j^icat assistiincc in tlie airangenient of (he season’s prograniine of matches, and cxeicised i)ro])cr control of the cricket |)Uiyed iiy the 33 (,'liibs afliliated to it. 'J'hroughout thr. se:ison the only tlifficulty the selectors ex|)erienced in connecti.m with tiieir duties was in finding i>laces in llu; team for men anxious to play, showing thereby that the class o f men for whose re(|uirenients tin- Veteran 'I'eam was originally formed is increasing year by year. Dr. H . ly. Maitland was again mianiniously elected Captain, and managed the team on the field with bis usual ability and tact throughout an exceedingly enjoyable sea.son.
