LErligritott MISSIONART Socterr. —Sermons on behalf ,
of the Church Missionary Society were preached in the
parish church, on Sunday naming and evening, by
m Rev. Mr. Clay. The collections amounted to V.
sCnicitirr.—On Thereat), mondog last, at 12 o'clock,
at Pun .re, was commenced the cricket match between
the celebrated Oxford Harlequins and J. P. Gundry,
Fovea eleven. At the commencement the groend
was very heavy, greatly retarding the bowl rig. Th.
Harlequins having won the toss, sent these two well.
known player., ides.m. R. D. Walker and
C. Marsham, to the wickets, who kept op the excite
!tent rl the lookers.on by their splendid style of
batting until about two o'clock, when Mr. Walker wa• •
well caught by Mr. Dense, for a score of 36. Mr. 8..
Ilarshain then jorned his brother, and after scoring four
rune, was cleverly caught by Mr. Radcliffe. Mr. Roll
aueceeded him, and after • like innings, was bowled by
Phillips. Time was here called for dinner, after which,
play was resumed by Mr. C. Marshant, and Mr. C. D.
Maraham, who was very 110011 bowled by Phillips for
two runs. Mr. C. Meridiam was the next out, being
well beveled by Phillips, for the splendid soore of 91,
including one four, several threes, twos and singles.
Mr. C. Marsham had two very narrow, escapes of "being
out" in the morning at longatop. Mr. Ponsonbv very
shortly afterwards left the ground, having being cleverly
eaught by Mr. J. P. Gundry. The bowling of Phillips
throughout w a splendid, having more than once
howled five maiden overs ; Messrs. J. M. Taylor, E.
Gundry, A. G. Chaphant, H. E. Hounsell, and W.
Hollings, all succumbing to his bowling for a very
few runs. The Harlequins In Mg now out, for a score
of 164, Mr. Gundry's eleven took the field. Although
there did not appear much chance .for them to "top"
their Oxford brothers, yet those on the field notioed in
the "eleven" several gentlemen from whom they expected
to see some good play hot somehow, they were
doomed to disappointment. Messrs. W. S. Boyle and
C. J. Rads:l7lre took the bats, and Mr. Radolyffa was no
sooner on the ground than he was off again for a 0
Mr. H. Hawlixson than took the willow, and was most
beautifully caught by Mr. E. Grindry. for a 0 also ;
in fact, ducks' eggs seemed in the ascendant. Mr. J. P.
Oundry then followed, and mssle • short stand for seven
runs when he was caught and bawled by Walker. Mr.
Franks next ran up age ‘re of five, and left the wickets,
IPA did also Mr. Boyle for lb rims. Mr. W. Hounsell,
who was well.known in days gone by, next made a
short stand for four espital single drives. Captain
Dome was also very unfortunate, having made a
"toiler." In fact, the bowling of the Harlequins,
like their batting, was too strung for their opponents
and the rest of the wickets were as easily disposed of,
the last wicket falling for 42, being 122 in the minority.
Time was now called, and the party adjourned to
Downe Hall, the residence of J. P. Montagu, Req.,
where • most reciterche supper had been provided for
them by that gentleman. On Friday morning the
"eleven" again took the wickets, and after scoring 86,
the lest wicket fell. B. P. Gundry. Esq., asP.ed as
umpire on Thursday morning, and in the afternoon
gave up his unenviable post to Mr. Bell, professional,
whose name in Bridport, is quite an "household word"
among cricketers, being well.known for his excellent
play in the town some few years back. On both days
the whole of the elite of the town was present, and
nromycl thoroughly to enjoy the sport. The following

A SAILING MATuu for boats not exceeding 17
feet, belonging to Bridport. Any description of
Rails. Twice round. First prize £4 45., second,
a 2*, third, £1 is. Entrance, 4*.
Four boats were entered for this match, viz ,
Amelia, Mr. H. Good • Elizabeth, Mr. T. Cole ;
Ann Eliza, Mr. 11. Ilellier ; and Spray, Mr. H
G Kid. An even start was effected at 12h. 47m. 30a.,
but Amelia soon gave indications of the result. For
• short time, however, Elizabeth took the lead, but
her advantage was of short duration, and in re' urn-
ing to the pier from the west to complete the first
round, Amelia ran completely away from the others,
completing it half-a-mile ahead of Spray, who had
gained second place. The second round was of but
little interest; the close was as follows :-

A ROWING MATCH by lerrets, belonging to the
port of Bridport, with four oars, without a coxswain.
First prize, £3 3.. ; second, £1 15e. 6d. ; third,
17e. 643. ; fourth, 10v. Once round the course. Six
entries were made—via. , Surprise, R. Foes, Chideock;
flood Intent, S. Warren, Eype; Mary Anna, K
Buckler, Burton Bradstock; Undaunted, C. North-
over, Swvre ; Rope, J. Thorner, l'uncknowle ;
Lucy, J. Knight, Burton Bradatock. After a short
struggle, Mary Anna took the lead, but was shortly
overhauled by Lucy, who, however, got too near the
shore. Undaunted made straight for the buoy, and
appeared to be taking up the best position, when
her crew, unfortunately, fouled one of the other
boats, and had to go over part of the course again,
which put her out of the race. Surprise, who had
been in the dark up to this time, skilfully rounded
the buoy, and headed away to the west, foil )wed by
Lucy and Mary Anna. A fine race now ensued
between the three first boats, the pace being
tremendous, and after a splendid contest was won by a
length by Surprise. Mary Anna occupied second
place, Lucy made a good third, and liope was
fourth.

A ROWING MATCH for boats, not exceeding 24ft.
in length, belonging to the coast•guiud stations,
between Abbotabury and Lyme Regis, both in-
clusive, to be rowed with four owe and a coxswain,
to be coast-guardsmen of the station to which the
host belongs. First prize, £3 3e.; second, £2 101.;
third, £1 14s. Once round the course. Considerable
interest was manifested in this contest The boats
of Bridport, Burton Bradetock, Chideock, and
()bigmouth, were entered, and put in an appearance
,iiehen the signal was given. A steady start was
:beads, but the Chideock crew made a spurt and
to the front. This was the signal for a rind
struggle, and the cry was " Bridport will win. It
was evident, however, that such would not be the
case without persistent and well-sustained efforts,
for, in a few minutes, the four boats were
again pretty well in a line. Chideock
once more polled to the front, but could not sustain
that position. In coming to the pierhead from the
west the coastguardsman of Brielport put double
vigour into their strokes, passed their plucky oppo-
nents, and won the race by two lengths, Cnideock
being second, Burton third, and Charmouth fourth.
An old salt complained that one of the coxswains
had not steered his boat well, when the following
characteristic reply was made: "Not steer her
well! why, I could put her through the eye of a
needle l" _ _ _

A SAILING Mayas by boata, not exceeding 20 ft.
in length, belonging to any place between Abbots-
bury and Lyme Regis, both inclusive; to carry
sails of any description. First prize, £4 45.; second,
£2 2s. ; third £1 is. Twice round the course.
The Freak, Lyme, H. Littlejohn; Amelia, Brid-
port, H. Good; Frolic, Lyme, W. Rittman; and
Lucy, Lyme, & Hodder, contested for these prizes.
A pretty start was effected at 3 hours, 43 minutes,
and 30 second,. Amelia and Lucy alternately led
the way to the first mark, but on rounding it the
good management of Amelia had placed her several
lengths a-head of the rest, Freak, Lucy, and Frolic,
following in the order named. Freak, however, was
obliged to tack in making the second buoy, but as
the vessels passed the pier going westward she
had a•tained to the first place, closely followed by
Amelia, with the others far astern. About this time
the wind 'veered round to the westward, and all the
boats were compelled to tack to weather the western-
most buoy. By a little skilful manceuvring, Fruits
held a good wind, and bore down upon Amelia, at
length passed her, and took second position. Lucy
taking advantage of the second tack, gained upon the
Freak, overhauled her, and led away to the west.
Frolic now lost the advantage she had before gained
by getting too much to the leeward. Lucy held her
position, and completed the first round fifty yards
• head of Amelia. Favoured by • light wind,
Amelia, in the second course, overhauled Lucy,
which was also done by Freak, and the contest closed
as follows:
