CRICKET.

THE MARYLEBONE CLUB AND GROUND n.
THE GENTLEMEN OF THE MANCHESTER

CLUB, WITH THREE PLAYERS.
This interesting match was resumed on Tuesday morn-
ing at Lord's, and brought to a conclusion on the same
afternoon. t proved to be one of the best matches
which have for many. years been witnessed at Maryle-
bone, and as it approached its termination there was
great eXoiteraent manifested by all parties, especially at
the moment—the Marylebone having three wickets to go
down and 12 runs to obtain—when Hunt, who had pre-
viously made two beautiful catches, missed takitik Nixon
in the slip. This would have been a most capital catch
if made, for it was a long reach, and would have thrown
additional odds in favour of the Manchester gentlemen.
Nixon having been thus missed the two wickets in ran
off the 12 rune, and so won the day by three wickets.
The fielding on the part of Manchester was excellent
throughout, whilst the bowling of Hunt and Wisden in
the last innings was very fine.
The play having been resumed by the appearance of
Sir T. Moncrieffe and Mr. Bathurst at the wickets; the
former was soon bowled by Wisden without an increase
of the

thesr. coßrea,thaandrstw,ahwsosuecyceere,ded by the Earl of Winter-
to having presently contrived
to run out, the Marylebone score only amounted
to 126, an increase of two upon the total of the pre-
ceding day. Manchester then entered on their second
hands, but only made 42, seven of the wickets owing
their demolition to the fine bowling of Grundy. Hunt
obtained 15 of this total, scoring two fours, a three, and
four singles. Next to his number on this aide were
those of ar. Belhouse, who made 9 by two threes, a

total of this innings was only 42, and therefore the
Marylebone embarked en their second bands to obtain
83 to tie, or 84 to win. The latter result they achieved,
w oosfe
nut it is very questionable whether that success would
have attended them had the " catch," to which allusion
has been made, missed by Hunt, been effected. How-
ever, with three wickets remaining, the Marylebone
Cricket Club won. All the scores in the innings were
small, with the exception of Mr. Ilaygarth'd 20, by a
three, three twos, and a balance of ones; of Adam's 20,
in three fours, three twos, and a couple of singles; and
my Lord Winterton's 7, thus made up—a three, a two,
and a brace of ones. The score, at its final close, pre-
sented the subjoined appearance:—
