CRICKET.

THE ALL ENGLAND ELEVEN v. THE UNITED
ALL ENGLAND ELEVEN.
At Lord's Ground yesterday (the third day) this great
and exciting match was continued. The weather was again
extremely fine, and a large number of spectators were pre-
sent. The United Eleven,
in conmeiolug their second
innings, had 204 to get to win ; and the bet,:ing was in
favour of all England. At twelve o'clock play was .9 ailed,
and Hewn° and Jupp went to the wickets, Slinn anti
Wilisher being the bowlers, E. Stephenson wicket-keeper,
and Rowbotham the long stop (a most efficient one). Jupp
marked 6, and Hearne 4—the two wickets falling for 10
runs. Mortlock and Griffith (both Surrey men) got to-
gether, and soon caused the score to rise. Wootton, how-
ever, who had taken up the bowling at Wilisher's end, dis-
posed of Griffith for 15, in which were a 3 and a 2 ; three
wickets and 40 rune. Iddison joined Mortlock, and such
was the fine hitting that the scorers were kept well em-
ployed. Mortiock added to the score 65, including a fine
square leg hit for seten, the ball going out at the gate, and,
crossing the road, rebounded against an opposite garden
wall ; perhaps a couple of runs might have been saved had
it not been for a carriage that entered the gateway
at the time, causing the fieldsmen to lose sight of the
ball. His other hits were a 5, two l's, four 3's, and
six 2's; four wickets and 126 runs. Betting even. Ellis
soon added 19, in which were two 4's, a 3, and tv,--9 2's;
five wickets and 151 runs. Atkinson came next, and soon
after Iddison was run out, after contributing 44 by some
first-class batting, his hits comprising two 3's and six 2's ;
six wickets and 156 runs. Sewell next appeared, but Woot-
ton was not long before he found his way to Atkinson's
stumps,:who left 7 to his name, in which were two 2's ;
seven wickets and 171 runs. The scene now became very
exciting, 33 runs only being required to get to win, and
three wickets to go down. Bell became the partner of
Sewell, and every run was anxiously noted, The former,
however, was cautious, but he could not stop Wootton from
figding his way to the stumps, Bell's 11 were well got,
two 4's being among his figures. Eight wickets and 195
runs. Silcock joined Sewell, and great excitement prevailed,
only nine runs being wanted to gain a victory, and these
they rubbed off, Sewell being not out with 20, comprising
two 4's and a 3, and Silcock not out with 10, in which were
two 2's. Thu latter gave the winning hit amidst much
applause. Time, 446 pan, This is the 14th match; both

FOUR CHILDREN AT A BIRTH.—A poor Nh,llflan
named Reilly, wife of a labourer living in some one of thb
obscure lanes off Barrack-street, Cork, was on Monday
safely delivered of four children, one of them dead. She
thus becomes entitled to the Queen's bounty of £3, if
application be duly made on her behalf.—Cork Herald.
GROUSE SHOOTING PROSPECTS.—The prospects
of sportsmen for the ensuing shooting season in
Perthshire arc at present Very encouraging. The weather
lags been all that could be desired since nest-building com-
menced, and during the last two weeks especially the sun
has shone out brilliantly every day. On all the moors
of the county there is a large stock of grouse breeding, and
a number of the more early nests were hatched a week ago.
' Nests generally this season were well filled with eggs, and
gamekeepers state that they found in numerous cases 10
eggs in a single nest. If the weather continue favourable
the hatching season will soon be over, and the greater
part of the young broods past danger from floods. Thed
grouse, with few exceptions, appear to be strong an
healthy. All other kinds of game on both high and low
ailzie
grounds are abundant and in goad condition. CaPer
cPerth-
are t;:reeding in large numbers in all the woods of
