During the three days' play Field's Worcestershire
Military Band was in attendance, and played a fine selec-
tion of music. consisting of overtures, including those of
" Zampa." and " William Tell," skc.; operatic selections
from " The Grand Duchess," " Trovatore," Donizetti,
and all the best composers of the day; and in the even-
ing a choice selection of dance music. The refresh-
ments were provided by Mr. Vale, of the King's Head
Ins, High-street, who put a splendid cold collation on
the tsble each day, to a large number of persons who
sat down to dine. It consisted of pickled salmon, duck,
fowls, tongue, ham, beef, mutton, lamb, veal, pigeon
P'!: sweets, salads, k.c., tic.

There was a good attendance on Monday. Tuesday
was the fashionable day, the reserved seats being well
filled, but the receipts were not so numerous that day as
on the previous one. On Wednesday the attendance was
not so large, and it is expected there will be a small loss
to the club, which will be made good by several persons
who have guaranteed.
Police.sergeant Hudson was on the gratind each day,
and performed his duties satisfactorily, but we cannot
conclude the report without expressing our regret that so
many persons got over the walls and hedges, and obtained
permission to go on to the Ground under several pre-
texts, without paying. Had this not been the case, there
is no doubt the Club would have made a profit. How-
ever it is intended to have an All-Eugland Match next
season, when we trust this will be obviated.

STOUBBRIDGE Buinknows.—This match was played
on the ground of the former, on Saturday last. The
Stonrbridge won the toss, and Messrs. E. Richardson
and T. Perrens were sent to bat, and the whole were got
oat for 99 runs. Mr. J. Webb made the highest score,
29. The Blakedown Club then commenced to bat, and
they were disposed of for 77, the bowling of Messrs.
Parkes and Webb being good. The following is the
