THE AUSTRALASIAN JOURNAL OF PHARMACY. 
THE ANNUAL CRICKET MATCH. 
The annual cricket match, Wholesale v. Retail Chemists, was held on the 
Melbourne Cricket Ground on Tuesday, the 16th February. There was a much 
larger attendance than on any previous occasion, the wholesale firms having closed 
at noon. The day being beautifully fine, play was commenced shortly after twelve 
o’clock. The captain of the Wholesale team having won the toss, sent his men to 
the wickets. At half-past one an adjournment was made for lunch, the wholesale 
chemists this year being the entertainers. An excellent lunch was provided, and a 
large number of guests (about 120) filled the tables. Mr. F. S. Grimwade 
occupied the chair, and, after the usual loyal toast, proposed the health of the 
“ Retail Chemists,” which was drank with great cheering. Mr. C. R. Blackett 
next gave the toast of the “ Wholesale Firms,” which was responded to by 
Mr. H. Rocke, Mr. Duerdin, and Mr. Tompsitt. The health of the “Chairman” 
(Mr. F. S. Grimwade), was proposed by Mr. Bowen, and drank with musical 
honours, Mr. Grimwade responding. An adjournment was then made to the 
cricket field, and the match resumed. The following are the scores, the match 
resulting in a draw : —

Professor Tyndall endeavours to explain the immunity obtained against a 
second attack of a contagious disease by advancing the opinion that the rarity of 
second attacks of communicable disease was due to the removal from the system, 
by the first parasite crop, of some ingredient necessary to the growth and propa- 
gation of the parasite.
