CRICKET.—The first match at " Lord's" for the
season was played on Monday between the Marylebone
and the St. John's-wood Club. The 11 of the first.
named body, however, mustered very weak on the occa-
sion, and were wofully deficient in bowling. Indeed, it
may fairly be statedthat they had but one bowler (Hill-
yer), and the result was, that whilst all the fine balls of
the latter, from the hardness of the ground, went over
the wicket, those from Sir T. Moncrieff and Mr. Bur-
goyne were hit about in all directions, until Dawson had
scored 21 ; Royston, 38 ; Golding, 65 ; the Hon. F.
Ponsonby, 24 ; and Mr. Morse, 13. A change in the
prospects of te St. John's- wood men was, however,
accomplished by " putting on" Lord Glamis, who
quickly lowered two wickets, and caused a catch from a
third. The Hon. F. Ponsonby, as usual, played beauti-
fully, although he does not appear to have regained the
free use of the arm he injured in one of the matches last
summer. This gentleman obtained 24. Royston both
bowled and batted extremely well ; he scored 38 runs,
and bowled seven wickets in the first innings and four
out of the six who went in for a second. Dawson made
21 runs ; Golding, 26 ; and Mr. Mouse, 13. On the part
of the Marylebone Club, the Hon. R. Grimston displayed
some excellent hitting, and made nine runs ; but Mr. A.
Haggarth, who distinguished himself so much last season
as one of the Harrow eleven, bore off the laurels on this
side ; he scored in admirable style 26 rune. Sir T. Mon-
crieff played steadily, and gained 5 and 8. Lord Glamis
was unfortunate ; whilst Mr. Hicks exhibited a vast im-
provement upon his batting of last season. The Maryle-
bone scored 81, and the St. John's-wood 215. In their
second innings the former had lost six wickets for 26
runs, when the time was called. The game was under-
stood
to be given up. The math for this day is 11 of the
first half of the alphabet against 11 of the last half.
