Thursday, and continued on Friday, but the weather Will

ponents had headed them by 27 runs on the first innings-
CRICKET.—Some important alterations have been made
by the Marylebone Club with the law of cricket, especially
with reference to the " wide balls,;' which are in future W
tell the same as "no balls. " The rules relative to wide
balls are as follow :—"lf the bowler toss the ball over
the striker's head, or bowl it so wide that it shall be out
of distance to be played at, the umpire, (even though p.
e
attempt to hit it) shall adjudge one run to the parties
receiving the innings, either with or without an aPPFre
from them, and shall be put down to the score of viT,,
balls. If the bowler deliver a no ball,' or a' wide bit%
the striker shall be allowed as many runs as he can gilt
and he shall not be put out except by running out.

the event of no run being obtained by any other means,

then one run shall be addel to the score of no balls'
