CRICKET.

STOCIIHRIDOS T. WESTBROUWICII.—The first macho(
the season Cu played on the Amblecote Ground, cia
Monday last, between the above-named Clubs. The day
being fine drew together a good number of the fair set,
and the?, wo.. a fine display of cricket which put WI ia
mind of the due of yore. Some years age the Stour-
bridge Club Cu considered one of the beat in the Mid.
land Counties, and could boast of two professional
bowlers. From a variety of causes the Club became
gradually weaker, until there was no Club. Some two
years %Mee a number of cricket mildew:itu met t..Kether,
and formed a new club. This being the third year a
quantity of freak blood hu been infused into it, eel the
season is likely to be a lively one. Judging from the dia.
play of cricket exhibited on Monday last, and the nub
bee of matches already made, we hope to see the
Clsb
attain something like its old form. Westbromwich woe
the toss, and sent Mesas. Osborne and Stapleford le
handle the willow to the bowleg of Messrs. Gill and
Seward ; but they did not make much of a defeeee,

for a 3 and a 6. The only one who made a stand against
the bowling was Mr. J. W. Marshall, who scored 43 ia
good style; the whole being disposel of for 89 runs.
The Stourbridge Club then went in, sending Mews. J.
Hall and W. Richardson to the wickets, the latter being
soon disposed of for a single. Mr. W. Grazebrook was
the next man, and soon put 13 runs on. wheu he had to
retire, beilig bowled by Stableford, Mr. flail still scoring
rapidly. Mr. W. if. Moons (captain) was the next mu
to face Mr. Hite, end Loth hat away in good cticketing
style, sending the boll all over the field, end 118 runs
were ~cored before they were parted, Mr. Ran being an-
fortunately run out after scoring a good 49, made by some
fine play. Mr. W. Webb then joined Mr. Moore, but
after scoring 3he was bowled by Lloyd. Mr. J. hill wee
the next at the wicket, but Boon retirel for a" duek."
Mr. F. Swindell then next faced Mr. Moore, and another
