CRICKET.

ENGLISHMEN v. VICTORIA.

Melbourne. March 22 Then wu perfect weather, but the attend ance wa» small. Pc ryman's innings was a treat to witness, being characterised by clean, vigorous, and free hitting. Ihe fielding of the Englishmen was slovenly. C. McLeod, after making top score for the Victorians, got a hasty knock on the knee from Richardson and succumbed next ball. The Fnglishmen made an inauspicious start In their second moingft, Ward playing his first ball on to his wicket. Brown and Brockwell made things merry for a time, but Trumble made a costly mistake in badly missing the former early in the innings. After Brown's dismissal by a smart piece of work on. the part of Johns, the wicket keeper, things looked bad for the visitors, five of the best wicket* being down for the ■mall scare of 92. The partnership between Ford and Brigge, however, put a different aspect on affuis. The former showed some very hard hitting. There will be no play to-morrow on account of the farewell race meeting wh:ch is to be tendered to Lord Hopeteuo. Ihe following are the scores: — Exoland—lst Innings 131 Victoria—lst Inning?. H.

THE CARRIAGE OF WOOL.

TO TOT 15DIT0B.

Sir,—The wool growers in the Upper part of the Selwyn county have obtained a concess on from the railway department, bnd can have their wool carried from Springfield or Coalgate right through to Lytielton for three shillings per bale. This is no doubt a remunerative rate to the railway, being equal to about I 6» 6d per ton dead weight for ft distance of fifty miles. Can you, however, or any one else, give me a sound reason for tbe Aahburton settlers being charged a much higher rate for the rune service. The comparison stands thuß:— miles, per bale. Springfield to Lyttelton... 50 3j 0J Rakata to Lyttelton ... 42 4a 0d Ashburton'to Lyttelton.., 59 6a 3d ginds to Lyttelton ... 70 5s lid This is differential rating with a vengeance, find is apparently imposed upon the wcql growers of thid county for no other reason than that they are debarred by the rail* way regulations from sending traction engines over the Rakaia bridge, and are thus shut out trom the competition which prevails in the Selwyn county. T com mend this question to the consideration of yourself and ihe members representing the county. As wool is not now the ex clusive production of large landowners, but is grown more or Teen by every firmer, It is possible that our distinguished representatives may muster sufficient courage to advocate justice to the wool growers of this county—more especially as this commodity pays such excessive railage rates.
