CRICKET.

THE ELEVEN OF ENGLAND v. TWENTY-TWO

OF I ZINGARI.

This important and benevolent match, which was
announced for Thursday, was commenced yesterday, at
the Oval, when, notwithstanding the unfavourable state
of the weather, we found that many persons had assem-
bled to witness the proceedings, as well as to contribute
towards the testimonial of which this match was the
indication, to old Beagley, one of the celebrated cricketers
of former days. The noblemen and gentlemen of I Zin-
gari, with the Surrey Club and the Eleven of All Eng-
land, arranged a match, the proceeds of which, in addi-
tion to subscriptions, are to find their way into the
pockets of a deserving old cricketer. The untoward
weather ou Thursday necessarily caused a postponement
of the play, and although yesterday did not bring any
very great improvement in that respect, yet the noble-
men and gentlemen were determined that the charitable
object which they had in view should not be frustrated
even by the elements ; therefore, the match, was com-
menced, and broken off, and resumed as the rain would
permit. It is but an act of justice to state that the
Eleven of England, who give their services gratuitously,
willingly entered into the arrangement.

PRINCE OP WALES YACHT CLUB.

The second sailing match of the season amongst yachts
of this very excellently-conducted club came off yester-
day, but owing to the very heavy rain of the previous
day and gloomy appearance of the morning, was not so
numerously attended as on the first occasion, but still
there was a much larger party on board tb e club steamer
(the Gannett) than could reasonably have been expected.
The following were the competitors :--
FIRST CLASS. •
Yachts. Tons. Owners.
Undine
Julia
Valentine 8
Irresistible 8
SECOND CLASS.
Ruby
Blue-eyed Maid. •
Idas

The prizes were very handsome, and the distance from
Blackwall to Gravesend and back. Mr. Berncastle,
the indefatigable commodore, assisted by Mr. Gordon
Ifonsec, having seen that the boats were all at their
stations, they made a capital start at 4:3 minutes after
11, all cantina- round very prettily—the Julia, first
under weigh, followed by the Valentine and Blue-Eyed
Maid. The wind was free down, but squally, and with
flowing fib eets the little fleet pursued their way ; but,
ere their arrival at Woolwich, the Valentine had gone
into the first place, the Julia being second, the Blue-
Eyed Maid third, the "incline fourth. In this order
they contii lued all the way down, and arrived at Graves.
