HANBURY BLIAMOUGHTUN —This match was played
on the ground of the Belbroughton Cub, on Monday
last. H. F. Vernon and C. I'. Noel, Esqrs.. took a pro.
minent part in getting up the match, on behalf of the
two clubs. Considerable interest was shown in the match,
.srge numbers 11,cking to the ground, including the
neighbouring gentry, the ladies especially appearing in
force. The village bore a holiday aspect throughout the
day, while occasional peals from the church bells con-
tributed to the general gaiety. The bailing of the Ban-
bury was cautious and good, Ralph and Barker running
up high scores. Their opponents did not make so good
• show at the wickets, Baylis, Martin, and Watkias
• making tho best stand. The fielding on both aides was
! good, while the fact that no wide ball occurred in either
innings speaks well for the bowling. Lunch was served
in a tent on the ground, to the catering of Mr. and Mrs.
Farmer, of the Queen's Head Inn. The following are
the total scores made in each innings :—Belbraughton,
let innings, 43 ; god innings, 44 ; total, K. Banbury-
-Ist innings, 80; 2nd innings, 63; total, 193. It will
thus be seen that the Banbury Club was, with 40 runs
to spare.

Mu: rinoten of TEE Pllgsunv Tray.—lt is important
that the great changes winch are taking place in trade
should not be lost sight of, and perhaps none are more
worthy of attention than those connected with the buei-
nese of the grocer. Formerly it was customary for the
grocer to restrict his trade to two or three articles, where-
as his business now assumes the character of • general
store or depot for various large houses whose goods have
obtained a world-wide celebrity. Take such instances..
may be found now in nearly every grocer's list, vie,
Huntley and Palmer's Biscuits, Crone and Blackwell'a
Pickles, Colman's Mastard, Bess and Allsopp's Ales. W.
I: A. Oilbey's Wined and Spirits, ikc. One advantage of
this change is that in place of having to depend upon
the judgment of the local tradesman alone for the quality
of his numerous varieties, the purchaser is supplied by
various large firms, who by making a specialty of certain
Articles and sending out their goods in sealed packages!
!eolith the consumer with • guarantee ef 'aloe and
quality. 'rake ae an illustration the recent addition of
am wine trade to the grocer's business. It must un-
questionably be an advantage for the puhlie to be able to
ibtain wince and epirite through the medium of the
grocer. of every ninety and reliabie quality, bottled by
welt-known noun., such as thinly., and sold at their
published prices. The medical profession should espe-
cially welcome this change, as it enables them to use
much more freely than hitherto wines and spirits which
they can rely upon as being pure and wholesome (quail-
ties No essentially requisite for medicinal purposes), while
all classes of consumers can now obtain from their gro-
cer either the cheapen or the productions of each
country in email quantities, thus saving the trouble and
expense of sending to some distant part, which was for-
merly necessary.
