CejcxlM—Wadassasi, Thursday, and Fridsg weak
were days ever to be remembered in the onoketing
annals of the Manhwood Vale Rovers The debut
was made on the Pyznore Ground, Bridpom, on
Wednesday. The "Seaton Sandboys" were the
opponents of the Rovers, and arrived about eleven
o'clock, after an extraordinary quick passage of four
boors. The Rovers firit appeared at the wickets,
and we cannot describe their innings in bettor terms
than by stating that in the mauve of their snore of
209 the "little bit of leather" visited all parts of the
ground. Blue Funk was clearly written on the
countenance of "the Sandbars" m they one by one
appeared at the wickets, only immediately to return
again viotima to Mr. Ceara. We cannot speak
in too high terms of this gentleman's bowling. it
simply cams "is like a knife," and it was
a curious tact that when it did not hit "the sticks,"
the ball always left its mark on some unpro-
tected pert of the wretched batsman's parson, and
we should imagine that the walking powers of some
of the players must be considerably impaired fer
September lat. It will be quite evident from the
above deaciiption that the ftandboys had to follow
their tunings. But it was only the ease "
game' over again:, In fact, "a cue of one innings."
"The Sandboys loft on their return journey to
Seaton, looking far from cheerful at the prospect
before them. At our time of writing, no intalligeme
has reached us of their having been able tv sang

Rovers an the point of starting by road for Corte
Mulles—The Journey down, notwithstanding the
early hoer, may be dascribed ma a festive one. It
was decidedly an odd coincidence that the viands
dimmed at breakfast were of such a chamber
as to orate a very pleasing thirst, and an mar
sianal gull at a very refreshing beverage

strongly reoonimeoded, by the Iseult, was found,
at stated intervals on the road, to be absolutely
necessary. The match at Corte was of a like obese.
ter to the one at Pyrnore on the previous day.
The bowling of Mr. Omen was slither, and every.
where—that is, every ball did some execution on
something or somebody. The unfortunate loogetop,
especially, would have presented a sad spectacle to
any fond parent's eye had such a one been present.
That well-known player, Mr. Voulee, also helped
materially to raise the score. One innings only was
played, the Rover, beading their opponents by
about 100 rune —Friday, the Rovers e. Bridgwater.
—That very useful expression, "the suns little game
continued," fita in once more very nicely. The
Bridgwater eleven seemed to find the greatest
possible amusement in continually traversing the
space between the pavilion and the wickets and back
again. A cue innings business again! The Rovers
reached head quarters once more late on Friday
evening after a most successful and victorious tour.
Below we give the mores of the three matches:—

BALII3BIJRY LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC

The annual numiting of tie members of this insti-
tution was held in the Reeding Room on Monday
sennight, the Worshipful the Mayor (R. Stokes,

from 12W 20 young men who were rawlY to
well-founded and well conducted darns in compac-

Mr. Bininarr neoesded the proposition which Mr.
Atkins had made, and it was earned by acclamation.
Mr. STYLI and Mr. CLATIIt, the Ohairman and
Vice.chairman of the Committee, returned thank&
Mr. Winos said, alone of the secretaries of the
Bchoal of Science and Art, he wired to mention
that • oommittme bad been appointed to confer with
the committee of the Liteear Institution, as well as
with that of the 11 Tostitottati, with the
view, if parable, of raising funds for the erection of
erWe permanent boor for all three institutions. 'Flee
committee of the School of Art bad been obliged to
apply to the Corpor&DOD to lend them a room. A
member of the Council remarked, when that appli-
cation was made, that there were numbers of unacce-
pted houses in the city, but Mr. Stephens, Mr.
Fisher, and hiinself, having been through nearly the
whole of the city, he could sty that there was cot •

distinct and small buildinp, the °rimier* pro-
posed that members of the different initituteons
should combine to erre a building that would be •
credit to the city. There were, Do doubt, difficulties
in the way, bat he believed they might be ru-
moured, and he was not without hope of mein •

Mr. Hier moved the following resolution
"That this meeting desires to cell the attention of
the committee to the small number of ordinary
members, and suggests the importance of adopting
some rheum by which the camber may be in-
creased." He said the number of members was
aouiewhat under 200, while their standing empanels
were the ern as if they bad 300 or 400. Thme had
been • great cry for additional books, but looking at
the state of their finances, he thought the com-
mittee bad been rarely warranted in expending so
much money as they had dor in increeetott
library. The question was, whether they
admit to their lectures and entertainments any but
members of the institution, and • lady friend of
each? This Ottb had been adopted at Winchester,
and the remit had been, he was informed, an in.
crease of from 250 to 400 members.
Mr. WATOON rocoded the resolution, but did not
think they would pas any large scomeion of mem-
bers until they bad more room at their disposal.
, The reeolue was agreed to, sad • cordial vote of
, thanks to the Mayor terminated the proceedings.
