A long list of scheduled cricket or match fixtures appears for Warrnambool, Port Fairy, Koroit, South Warrnambool, Portland, Hamilton, and Mamiton with dates from May to September. Matches include Warrnambool v Hamilton, Port Fairy v South Warrnambool, and Portland v Warrnambool among others, plus notices about grounds and times and a rifle range instruction by H. T. Baldwin.
