CRICICAT.-(THIS DAY.)

THE OVAL
GENTLEMEN Or THE MCBRET CLUB V. ABOBIGINAL
BLACK ELBVES.

A new epoch in the history of cricket occurred
ads morning at Kennington. The event hoe been
anxiously looked forward to ever since the announcement
of the arrival of the " aboriginal blacks" from Australia,
and fortunat ly the weather, which has for the lad
few days been showery and unsettled, proved favourable
for an exhibition of their skill. At en unusually early
hour there was a strong muster of on-lookers anxious to
scan the " form " of the " Blacks" whilst taking
their preliminary practioe. The men arrived on
the ground about half-past 10, having halted at
Mr. E. J. Page's bat manufactory, in the
Kennington-road, where each of the Eleven was pre-
sented with a prize bat, and a copy of the " Crioketer's
Pocket-book." They were deprived of the services of their
" great gun," Catena, who unfortunately was seized
with an attack of iniiainmation, and was strictly prohi-
bited by his medical attendant from taking part in the
opening match.
There were two or three alterations in the Surrey Club
team, who, having won the toes, elected to take first inn-
ings. When the " Blacks," headed by their captain, Law-
renoe, came from the dressing room, they were received
with loud cheers, and on the Surrey gentlemen taking their
places at the wickets, the " Blacks " gave three hearty
cheers, winding up with a war-whoop. Play began at
a quarter put 12, Messrs. G. H. Jupp and C. Noble repre-
senting Surrey, and Mnllagh and Lawrence starting
the bowling on the part of the blacks. Mr.
Jupp made a very fine cut off Mullagh for
five, and in a quarter of an hour twenty were
posted. The first to " go" was Mr. Noble, whom Law-
rence caught very cleverly off his own bowling. Mr.
Baggallay followed, and the bowling became steady,
seven overs being delivered for one run.

THREE O'CLOCK.
Lawrence and Mullagh changed ends after the former
had caught and bowled Mr. Noble. The second slow ball
of Lawrence's got rid of Mr. Jupp, who was well stumped
by Bullock,. Mr. I. D. Walker only made a single and
then was caught off Mullagh at point. The dis-
posal of these two " stiff " wickets WAS a great
point in favour of the " Blacks," whose fielding was
excellent, and elicited frequent applause. The
bowling also was good, at one time seven overs being deli.
vered for a single run. Mr. Greenfield was caught at mid.
off by Bullocky, who judged the ball admirably. Meseta.
Baggallay and Calvert got together and made runs rapidly
for a time, and the latter was badly missed at point by
Peter. When the score was hit up to 124, Mullagh clean
bowled Mr. 4 'alvert with a splendid ball. Score :
