CRICKET.

THE MARYLEBONE CLUB AND GROUND v.
THE GENTLEMEN OF THE MANCHESTER
CLUB, WITH THREE PLAYERS.
This interesting match was resumed on Tuesday morn-
ing at Lard's and brought to a conclusion on the same
afternoon. It proved to be one of the beet 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 ronslo 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 §danchester gentlemen.
Nixon having been thus missed the two wickets in rau
off the 12 run 7, 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. lloncrieffe 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 out, the Marylebone
to 126, an increase of two upon the total of the pre-
ceding day. Manchester then entered on their second
score only amounted
hands, but only made 42, seven of the wickets owiog
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. Belhouse, who made 9 by two threes, a
two, and a single; of Mr. Armetead,
7—namely, a two
and five singles; end of Wisden, whose amount of 7
wos composed of one five and a couple of singles. The
total of this innings was
Marylebono embarked en their second hands to obtain
83 to tie, or 84 to win. The latter result they achieved,
but it is very questionable ownlhyeth4e2r, thatandh successerf
wouldthe
have attended them had the "catch," to which allusion
hes been made, missed by Hunt, been effected. How-
ever, with three wickets remaining, the Marylehone
Cricuet 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 Wintetton's 7, thus mado up—a three, a two,
and a brace of ones. The score, at its final close, pre-
sented the subjoined appearance:—
