CRICKET.

THE MARYLEBONE CLUB AND GROUND v.
TRE 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. It 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 excitement 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 taking 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 is ran
off the 12 runs, and so won the day by three: wickets.
The fielding on the part of Manchester was excellent
throughout, whilst the bowling of Hunt and Wisdom 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 score„ and was succeeded by the Earl of Winter-
ton. Mr. Bathurst, however, having presently contrived
to run
cut. 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 side were
those of Mr. BelhousP, who made 9 by two threes, a
and five singles; and of Wisden, whose amount of 7
two, end a single; of 'Mr. Armstead, 7—namely, a two
was Composed of one five and a couple of singles. The
total of this innings was only 42, and therefore the
Marylebone embarked on their second hands to obtain
83 to tie, or 84 to win. The latter result they achieved,
made
wickets remaining,
but it is very questionable whether that success would
have attended them had the "catch," to which allusion
has been missed been ected. How-
ever,. with three by Hunt, eff
the Marylebone
Cricliet Club won. All the scores in the innings were
small, with the exception of Mr. Haygarth's 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:—
