Leslie v. Lochgklly. The shooting teams of the above companies had their annual friendly match on the Lochgelly Range on Saturday. Result North of Ewsland v. Afstrai tam.
as was expected the Australians beat the Ncrth of England at Manchester on Saturday. A capital stand by Rougher and Lilley, however, made the fight for victory a keen one." This pair in an hour and a fjuarter added 81 runs for the sixth wicket, the Warwickshire wicket-keeper playing a magnificent innings cf 61, during which he gav no chances. After he left the end socn came, and the Colonists wen by 42 runs. Apart from Pougher and Lilley the English side only made 49 runs among them. Scores AUSTRALIANS.

Cupar 2d XI. had a rather difficult task to accomplish when they tackled a scratch eleven composed of the cream of Springfield Asylum, "Typos," and Bell Brae captained by C. S. Bell. The Scratch batted first, but Connon was in splendid form, and, being ably assisted by the others, the whole eleven was dismissed for the small total of 62 Steele being the only man who got into double figures.
The second eleven were in splendid form, and rattled up 121 Ijefore being dismissed, Mitchell, Walker, and A. Muckersie having 31, 17, and 13 respectively, while a few others were within an ace of doubles. Arbroath Junior League. Burnside, 40; Greens United, 39. Abbotsford (Dundee), 38 Ardenlea, 23.
Marrbank v. Masonic On Lochee Park, when Marrbank came off victorious by 49 runs. Scores Marrbank, 67 runs (Simpson, 11, Nicoll, 9, not out) Masonic, 18 runs (Gillies, 7.) Bowling for Marrbank F. Stead captured seven wickets for 6 runs. Falkland v.
Dcnnikier. On the ground of the former, and won by Dunnikier by the narrow majority of 6 runs. Scores Falkland, 32 Dunnikier, 38. G. Livingstone was top scorer for the winning side, having 13 (not out), while A.
Sutherland, batting for Falkland, had a capital nine to his credit. Burntisland v. Forth (Leith). Played at Leith. Burntisland, 88 for 4 wickets Keid, 29) Forth, 50 (Savjige, 13).
The credit of the result was largely due to G. Simpson's howling for With his second attempt he was exceedingly successful, and came out with four wickets for riiss. True, what may be considered the hardest nuts to crack had been got rid of, but to capture such men as G. E. Gdroy, J.
A. Kyd, W. Hendry, and T. Wallace at such a small cosb as runs is decidedly good business. Now the point stands thus Supposing Soutar had not been captain of the team would he have been changed, or if indeed he had been changed would he not have been put on again long before be did make his second effort Captaincy is indeed a high honour, but it has its cares and sorrows like everything else.
Tasker had an off day on Saturday. His bowling was never effective, and 42 runs for no wickets is anything but a good average. He wt rked like a Trojan, but his big race and peculiar hop should prove tiring to a man bowling 16 overs, although the Meigle representative bv his agility on the field appeared quite fresh at the finish. Gravett was fairly successful with the ball, but his style is anything but pretty. In fact, his delivery has a suspicion of a throw.
Messrs Keir and King, of Edinburgh, in their capacity as umpires, however, had no objections. Gravett's batting was disappointing after his recent totals. Mannes did not appear at home until after his let cff. It was then he displayed his old mastership, and some idea of bis hitting may be judged from the fact that out of his score of 40 he hit five 4's and rive 2's. As a bowler he was fairly out of it, one for 25 being far too expensive.
Robertson was undoubtedly the. Perthshire cliampion at the bat. As steady as a rock, his 19 not out was a masterpiece. With not the slightest chance he set himself to play out time, and, what is more, he about accomplished it. If he had been put in earlier there is no saying how the match would have gone.
The hearts of the Perthshire supporters sank as Mather was smartly snapped at the wicket, and they sank still further when Rice was sent back, but when Guild brought off the catch that disposed of Halkerstone their hearts sank to zero. Iu a sense it was a pity that such three excellent bats should have been out so early. Not one amongst the big crowd but what looked for a finished display with the bat from these three. Fortune decreed otherwise, and if one were to ask Higgins and Wallace they would no doubt reply that they were as well pleased. Mackenzie tried to block a bit, but the ball that took his bails was a ball that would have beat any batsman, and although he had only one to his credit he did his little best.
Taken all over, it was a great crowd, a great game well contested and brimful of excitement to the last. Captain Soutar, although' beaten, has the satisfaction that he did his best, while Captain Sharp's generalship and true sportsmanship won a victory a victory which he can lock back upon with pride. We have heard a rumour, the truth of which we cannot vouch for, to the effect that the committee of the Arbroath United are by no means pleased at Guild and Wallace appearing at Fort-hill on Saturday. For the sake" of the United we trust that the rumour is unfounded. Although at no other time in the season, with the exception of the Perthshire fixtures, is the Forthiil team looked upon as a strictly shire team, stUl on these occasions mentioned it is always agreed that it is one shire's strength against the other.
In the south the weather was very broken, and greatly interfered with the play. The Edinburgh clubs were enabled to bring their matches off, but in Glasgow the players were not so fortunate. The best performance in the capital was that by Dunfermline, who surprised not a few by overcoming the Academicals, and that too in no uncertain manner. Edinburgh will be flooded with class cricket this week. Besides the Oxford University Authcntics' tour and Lord Rosslyn's three days' match, Forfarshire play the Royal High School at Holyrood on Wednesday.
The School are playing up and down just now, but they are very strong in the trundling department, so that the Forthiil men need not expect to put on a tall score. Last season Brechin sprung a surprise on Arbroath, and at LochlanJs on Saturday thev gave the United a harder task than they bargained for. Davies, the Brechin rendered yeoman service, while Lamb played a steady game for 22. With 103 facing them the Arbroaih took their task none too seriously, but as the wickets began fall it looked as if a repetition of last year was to be the outcome. J.
Milne, however, came to the rescue. In the end Arbroath reached home in a majority of 13 runs. The match between the Strathmore (Forfar) and Blairgowrie, which was played on the ground if the former, resulted in a draw. The visitors had first innings on a good pitch. A strong wind greatly interfered with the bowling, and the wickets were minus their bails.
A. D. Duncan did good work for the Blairgowrie, 1 taving compiled 52 before he was- disposed of by J. Grant. A.
Bain, his partner, also made a capital stand, and "had scored 19 when he wa.s run out. W. Furrell was exceedingly unfortunate, having to retire hurt when he had 8 runs. The inning3 closed for 89 to the credit of the Blairgowrie. J.
Grant, playing for the Strathmore. did solen- FORFARSEIRE F. PERTHSHIRE. AN EXCITING FINISH. This great match came off at Forthiil on Saturday before a big crowd, it bein? estimated that 6000 paid fcr admission.
The pitch was in excellent condition, and, although an hour after the start rain drove the players to the pavilion, the weather afterwards cleared off, and allowed the match to be finished. Forfarshire wen the toss, and naturally elected to bat. Promptly at twelve o'clock J. T. Scutar led the Perthshire to the field, W.
R. Sharp and G. Guild appearing first at the wickets, while J. T. Soutar and T.
N. Tasker shared the attack. The Arbroath representative soon set to work, and off Soutar's secend ball Beured a single. Sharp secured a boundary off the same bcwler. while Guild, not to be outdone, placed Tasker also to the boundary.
jth batsmen now seemed at home with the but at 14 Scutar beat Guild with a beauty, and he retired with 9 to his credit. The Forfarshire prof, was awarded a cheer as he stepped in to the vacancy, and immediately after he secured a brace, while Sharp, who was showing a partiality for Soutar's bowling, trot that player away for 4. A change was now tried in the attack, Gravett relieving Tasker. He opened with a maiden, but in his next over his brother prof, with a splendid leg hit got him awav for A all run. The score was now steadily augmented, and with 50 on the board rain stopped play.
It was not until 2.20 that V. R. Sharp and Higgins resumed batting, Tasker opening at the north and vice Gravett. Sharp soon set to work, and despatched his first tall to the pavilicn for 4. At the other end Soutar retired in favour of Roliortaon.
Higgins drove his second ball for a couple, and. Sharp placing Tasker for 3 and securing a single from Robertson, 60 was put up. With the score at 63 Sharp gave a difficult chance the slips, but two runs later he failed to get away a rising ball, and Tasker, accepting the offer, the Forfarshire captain gave way to Shepherd, hia 29 having been made "by excellent cricket. Shepherd opened with a single, but thereafter play ruled slow, the deliveries of Robertson puzzling the batsmen, and 6ome time elapsed before 80 was reached. Mannes now superseded Tasker, and livelier cricket was witnessed, the score travelling quickly to 95, at which figure a grand catch by Robertson dismissed Higpina.
Hayden then partnered Shepherd, and soon opened his shoulders. Both batsmen completely collared the bowling, and a double change in the attack was tried, Gravett iroing on for Mannes, while Tasker replaced Robertson. Runs came rapidly, but at 130 Shepherd, in attempting to drive the was bowled, and retired with a hard hit 32. Hendry filled the vacancy, and was greeted with a hearty cheer. He drove Tasker for 4, and 140 now appeared.
Amidst loud cheers Hendry sent Gravett clean out of the ground. With a single added Hayden played too soon, and the ball going high in the air he was held by Tasker. Soutar now took the ball trom Tasker at the south end, and with his second ball he sent Gilroy back without any addition to the total six for 147. J. A.
Kyd got only two balls when Soutar again did the trick seven fcr 147. Hesrgie assisted Hendry in carrying the score to 150 when Soutar reached the latter's wicket. Wallace and Heggie with some smart running soon reached 160 before Wallace was caught. Johnstone, the last man, got Soutar away for one, while Heggie sent the same player to the boundary. Gravett's next over, however, disposed of Heggie, Mathers catching him smartly at the wicket.
The innings closed at 166. At 4.20 V. Mather and E. Rice appeared for Perthshire, Higgins and Wallace bowling. The opening was sensational, as Mather, with only a single to his credit, was smartly snapped at the wicket by Heggie off Wallace, while in Higgins' next over Rice skied, and the popular Forfarwhire captain made sure work at hit-on.
Two for 1. Halkerstone then came in. and, after aleg-bvehad leeu run, that player let out at Hijrginis. It looked a certain boundary, but Guild, who was standing far out, made a magnificent effort, and with one hand brought off the catch. Cheers, again and again renewed, showed the spectators' appreciation cf the performance.
Gravett, who next came in, opened with a single, and secured a boundary off Higgins, and after twenty minutes' play 10 was hoisted. Gravett again got Higgins to the boundary, Mannes sending VV allace also away for 4, but with Hitrgins' last ball Gravett played on, and retired with 10 to his credit four for 17. J. J. Mackenzie was then sent in to steady matters, and two maidens followed.
Mannes was snicking to the boundary, and the hopes of tiie Perthshire began to rise, but, with the telegraph showing 29, Higgins with a auty of a bailer sent back Mackenzie. Five for 29. With Dr Mailer in, runs began to come somewhat freely, but with his score at 13 Mannes placed one nicely to Hendry. The Bowbridge man, however, failed to hold, while in the next over from Wallace the doctor gave a fine chance to Johnstone. That player misjudged his distance, and both batsmen soon lieean to show their gratitude, which caused Hayden to be brought on vice Wallace.
The Perthshire couple were, however, evidently set, and were playing the bowling confidently. Runs were, nevertheless, coming slowly, smart fielding allowing no liberties. At last Dr Mailer, in attempting to play Hayden, got in front of his wicket, and was given out with the Perthshire score at 64. J. Mailer then tame in.
and Mannes sent Higgins to leg for 2. The next ball gave Higgins his revenge, scattering Mannes' stumps after compiling a well-played 40. Forfarshire's hopes now rose, and matters went even better for them, as J. Mailer, in attempting a riskr run, was smartly thrown out by Kyd. The Perthshire captain was the next man, and he soon set to work by driving Wallace who had meanwhile been put on for Hayden for 3, while Robertson drove the same bowler to the boundary.
The latter was playing a patient and steady game, but lost his captain who was cleverly taken at the wickets. With scarcely half an hour to go, Tasker. the visitors' last man, came in. He soon began to hit out, and Higgins. who was now showing signs of lameness, retired in favour of Johnstone.
Thirteen minutes from the finish Tasker sent the ball to Sharp, who, however, dropped it, and Tasker despatched Johnstone's next ball to the boundary, the century going up ten minutes from time. The match was now looked upon as drawn, but with the score at 108 Tasker, attempting to get Johnstone to the boundary, sent the ball straight to Higgins, who fell in catching, but managed to hold on, and eight minutes from time Forfarshire won by 58 runs, Robertson carrying out his bat for a grandly-played 19.

FORFARSHIRE VICTORIOUS. CLOSE MATCH AT LOCHLANDS. LEAGUE NOTES AND TABLES. Arbroath United and West of Scotland having exchanged elates, the United appear at Forthiil on Saturday first, when Higgms, the popular Forfarshire takes his benefit. Through this exchange of dates rather little time has been allowed in the way of disposing of tickets, but seeing that Higgins has so many favourites in the district, there should be no difficulty in getting tickets sold throughout the week.
After his display on Saturday his benefit should just about be a record. Forthiil was the Mecca of all the cricket-lovin public of Perth and Dundee on Saturday, while a fair sprinkling of Arbroathians also helped to mm big crowd which had assembled round the ropes. It was recognised by the supporters of both shires that the teams were about equally matched, Forfarshire having the pull in bowling, while Perthshire had a big pull in the batting line. The hopes of the latter team were centred in Soutar and Tasker to create a surprise in the bowling department. Sharp, Guild, and Higgins, however, took the sting out of the bowling, while Shepherd and ouutti-u uiisiimg encaet ior tneir respective scores.
Hendry also justified his inclusion as a bat, and that hit of his clean out of the ground for six was worth going a bit to see. Gilroy has evidently lost faith in himself this season. A man of 50's last vear, it was certainly hard luck to be bowled with the second baU on Saturday. For such a smitcr his season's form is unaccountable, but there is plenty of time to pull up for the return venture. The fielding of Perthshire was inclined to be somewhat lax, although Robertson's catch which dismissed Higgins was a beauty, while Gravett's and Tasker's double event were smartly taken.
The Forfarshire's fielding at the commencement was brilliancy itself. Nothing was allowed to pass. In fact, it is questionable if the team ever did better, and it is a pity that three missed catches spoilt such a good afternoon's work. The catch with which Guild dismissed Halker-stone will not readily be forgotten down Forthiil way. For almost five minutes Guild had to surrender himself to enthusiastic handshaking bv the elated fielders, while Hayden did a big sprint to record his thanks.
Sharp also brought off a beautiful catch. In fact, with the single blemish in dropping Tasker, Forfarshire captain's fielding was simply superb. His display of batting was clean, well timed and judicious, while his captaincy could not lvive been improved upon. Kyd and Gilroy also atoned for their weak display in the bat, the former being always on the alert, the latter's position at point was no sinecure, and his smart stopping of several hard ones from time to time elicited applause. C.J Manres.
otf of fye fU 'op scorer. Higgins was, however, the hero on the Forfarshire side. He fielded grandly, his bowling was wnue nis Datting was a treat to witness. In fact, the popular all round display fairly took the eye of the crowd, and his benefit on Saturday should be the biggest he has ever yet received. The wicket-keeping of Mather was good, but on the Forfarshire taking the field his display was completely eclipsed by Heggie, whose work behind the stumps was simply a revelation.
Not a single ball did he let pass, and although five leg-byes were given, they were so far out of reach that no wicket-keeper could have stopped them. His work for the past two Saturdays stamps liim as one of the best wicket-keepers at present in Scotland. To stand up to two such fast bowlers as Wallace and Higgins is decidedly no joke, but he came out of Ihe ordeal with flying colours, and with two atches to his credit. His batting is also improving. Shepherd was as sure as of yore.
He is about the steadiest fielder that Forfarshire have, while his stylish batting (rives confidence alike to plavers and supporters, although, of course, it has "the opposite effect on the bowlers. Hayden was fairly in his element. Batting fkldinr, or bowling came all alike to him. Hp was continually on the move, and it is safe to say he was the happiest man on the field when the last wicket of Perth fell. Wallace was in a restless mood, and at the bat he caused some commotion amongst the fielders bv his sprightliness.
His bowlins: was dead on, and was decidedly better value than two for 37. Of course, it must not be forgotten that two catches were missed off his bowling, but in our opinion his average would have been great deal lower if he had placed a fielder on the leg side. Munnes an 1 Dr Mailer took full advantage in placing his deliveries to the leg boundary. Both Hendry an-1 Johnstone justified their inclusion. The former showed that he can hit to some purpose, and not only so, but he can play a sale game.
It was unfortunate that he let off Mannes. The ball evidently came upon him unexpectedly, but then fielders should never dream. Johnstone did not get much chance of showing his batting abilities, but he was placed on to bowl at a trying time, and he acquitted himself admirably. If ever Soutar had a trying period in his cricket career he had it on Saturday as captain of the big county eleven. He opened the bowling himself before the interval, and although he was successful in securing one wicket he was somewhat severely punished.
After the interval, however, he tried change after change before he again went on himself, with the result that in the early stage of the game his average sood at one wicket for 23 runs. Wt. Mm KMiiM II LESXn. LOCHOBLLT. Colour-Seraeant Bond, 861 Serjeant D.

At times quite a gale blew from the right rear, rendering high scoring impossible.

in Camp at Whitkmuir. The battalion went under canvas at White-muir, near Blackford, Perthshire, on Saturday, and a satisfactory start was made, the weather being pleasant. A commanding site has been chosen about a mile from Blackford Station, and an excellent view of the surrounding country is obtained. Colonel Sir Robert D. Moncreiffe is in command of the regiment, and, in addition to the adjutant, the following officers went under canvas during the day.
Major and Hon. Lieut. -Colonel Ually, Auchterarder Surgeon-Lieut. -Colonel Macfee, Auchterarder; Major Reid, Dunblane; Captain and lion. Major Mailer, Auchterarder Captain E.
Pullar, Bridge of Allan; Captain D. M'Ewen, Perth; Captain Campbell, Perth; Captain F. Pullar, Doune Captain Reid. Auchterarder; Captain Mac-nauchton, Crieff Captain Watt, Dunblane Surgeon-Captain Thom. Crieff Sunreon-Captain Stirling, Perth Surgeon-Lieut.

Crieff Lieutenant Halley, Auchterarder Lieutenant Hannay, Bridge of Allan Lieutenant Christie, Doune Lieutenant Dempster, Perth Lieutenant Proud foot, Perth Lieutenant Miller, Crieff. The first to arrive were the headquarters companies from Perth, and at night from 180 to 200 men were di 1 work as a bowler. Indeed, he gave the finest exhibition that has been seen at Lochside Park for many years. His performance of the hat trick was loudly cheered by the large crowd of spectators who lined the ropes.
Altogether he succeeded in taking seven wickets at a cost of 13 runs. Owing to the length of time during which the Blairgowrie occupied the wicket, the Strathmore were unable to finish their innings, and accordingly the match ended in a draw. Montrose, playing with Glenalmond on Saturday, were unfortunate in not securing a win. It was generally supposed that if Montrose had declared their innings at a close a few minutes earlier the result would have been different. Glenalmond had only one wicket to fall when time was declared.
J. R. Gibb and W. A. Key, for Montrose, made a good stand.
They played excellent cricket, and never gave a single chance. None of the other players reached double figures. For Glenalmond. T. E.
Keydon played a grand game. James Fyfe, who played for the first time this season, had a good bowling average, capturing five wickets tor the small number of 29 runs. The Carnoustie went to Rossie on Saturday with the determination of bagging two points, and in this they were successful by 33 runs. The Carnoustie, winning the toss, elected to bat, and a good stand was made for the second wicket, the first falling at 15. In the batting line, W.
Rae was top scorer with 33, got by gcod cricket. J. Watson and A. Hcgg also played well for their 21 and 19 respectively. On taking the field the Carnoustie team got rid of their opponents in a very short time, ani this was mainly due to the good bowling of W.
Rae and A. Hogs, each having five wickets for 22 and 3 runs respectively. Bowbridse were bent on beating the Arbroath socend siring at Havercroft, but whether it was the effect of Hendry's absence or not, the finish shewed that Bowbritlge had put on 58, while Arbroath exactly doubled this 116. Plumbers failed to get up a team to meet the Northern United in the League competition, only one enthusiast puttln-r in an appearance. Of course, the United pocket the points, but all the same it was hardly sportsmanlike to keep that club in the dark till the last minute, especially when there was the contest at Forthiil as an attraction.
This is the second Saturday in succession that -ue Plumbers have failed to produce the requisite number of players for a match. Forfar Kisfc End added their ninth consecutive win on Saturday at the expense of Brechin second eleven at Nursery Park. Battin-' first on a firey wicket, the Brechiners scored 61 runs before being disposed of, W. Cameron being chief scorer with 22 runs. The Forfarians, in playing to time, scored 61 for six wickets.
Of this score, J. Winning had 13, A. Scott and W. Bell 11. These batters played splendidly throughout the innings.
Soutar and Lowscn, playing for the East End, had each five wickets for 28 and 30 respectively. At the finish of the match many people seemed to think that the scores were even, but turned out that a noball given by the umpire bad been omitted, the East End thus winning by one ium and four wickets in hand. Inverlyric had a very enjoyable trip to Bal-ruddery in spite of showery and stormy weather. The home team defended first. They are stubborn bats, but slow scorers.
Thirty-six overs were bowled, sixteen of them beimr maidens. The Lyric put on 67. Bremner played a rattling game for 31, and Stewart had a very good 12. J. W.
