CRICKET. —Sours WILTS v. FORDINOMITDOE.—
The return match between these clubs was played on
Monday on the Salisbury ground, and terminated
in favour of the former. The South Wilts were
much too strong for their opponent, both in tawny
ard bowling. In the tint innings of the SontE
Wilts, Mr. Bourton made the highest boors 32, not
out, which were obtained by his usual steady play.
The innings terminated for 96. Fordingbridae,
however, could not affix more than 40 to the mooring
paper. of which number 17 were obtained by Mr.
Abbott. During the inoings Mr. Eveleigh met with
rather a serious accident, which incapacitated him
from playing during the remainder of the day. He
was endeavouring to catch a hall which had been
struck by Idr, Abbott, and he came in collision with
Mr. Barnes, who was bent On • similar object.
The latter was knocked down, but Mr. Eveleigh,
sustained • compound fracture of one of the lingers
of tbe tight band. Dr. Clifton, of the Fordingbridge
Club, immediately set the bone, and did what was
necerwary. Although the Fordingbridge were 56
behind they elected to mend in the South Wilts for
their second innings. They had, however, some
difficulty in lowering the stumps. The first two
wickets fell for IS, but when Mr. Bourton and Mr.
Manninp got together the score rose rapidly. The
latter knocked about the ball in all directions, and
his tine snore of 51 was °Stained in less than an
hour. It comprised three four.; ten threes; three
tens; and only three singles; and this will show
the character of the hitting. When his wicket fell
91 were telegraphed. The Hon. W. Bonverie
followed, and runs were still mule fast. Mr.
Bum-ton with him kept the fielders well employed,
mid some very good play was shown. 159 were
telegraphed before they could be separated, when
Bourton put one into Mr. Reeve's hands. His
score of 46 was obtained by four threes; eight twee
and singles. Mr. Bouverie made • good innings of
35 by a four; five threes; four twos and singles.
The innings terminated for 193, and as it was past
six o'clock the stomps were drawn, the game being
decided by the first innings. The score is as
