EDITH AND IterNuAm.—A very interesting game, took •place at
Erith, on Thursday, bet Ween the Erith and, itainham elubs ; and,
as amateurs, the Kentish men fully sustained their reputation as
cricketers, which is proved by the number they scured. The
following is the re-ult cf the first innings: ' Erith, 98; Rainham,
73. Second innings : Hainham 91. The match being declared by
the umpires closed, in consequence of the agreed time fur drawing
the' Stumps being up, it was declared in favour of Erith. Tne
respective parties adjourned to the Erith club-room, Cross Keys,
near Erith, where an ample repast was provided by the worthy
hostess, and the usual loyal toasts proposed. The proceedings
terminated with a complimentary vote to Mr. A. Wells, the presi-
dent.

THE. GREAT DIAUGHT MATCH FOR £2oo.—This important match
at draughts, between James Wylie, the " Herd Laddie," and
Robert Martin, of London, 'far 4200, has now been going on for
four days, at the Crown and -Anchor. Hotel, Leith-street-terrace,
Edinburgh, and has excited great interest among draught players,
who have attended in large :numbers each day to watch the
progress of the various gafnbs. The 'result of the first day's
playing was, that Wylie won one game, while three were drawn.
On Wednesday, the second day of the match, Martin equalled his
opponent by' also gaining one game, .but so keenly contested 'were
the games that again three games were •drawn. On Thursday,
during seven hourA' playing, neither competitor could obtain- a
triumph; and all the four games played that day were drawn. On
Friday, the fourth day 'of the match"; the playing commenced at
two o'clock, and proceeded with extreme caution on both sides,
the revolt being that, at nine o'clock, out of four genies played,
Martin Won one, and three were drawn. There have thus been'
sixteen games played in all during the four days, two of which
have been gained by Martin and one by Wylie, no less'.
than thirteen out of the sixteen games having been drawn.
The concluding game on. Friday night . occupied fully
three hours, and 'was one -:of. the 'most keenly contested' of
the match, Wylie being evidently anxious to close the day's playing
by putting himself on an equality with his opponent. With all his
solicitude, however, and although he appeared at one time to have'
theadvantage, Martin succeeded, with a-single man and a crowned
man against two crowned men, in ultimately getting the game
drawn. The match was to be resumed onaturday, at two o'clock,
and as there are fifty games to be played, it will not, at the present
rate of playing, be finished for nine or ten days.—Scotsman.
