About eleven O'Clock the wickets were pitched
The toss having been won by the Northern men,
bers, they called upon the South to go in. Groome
was the first that took the bat played very cautious

caught with his. leg before wicket, and de-
cared out, though not without some objection on
his part, in which he was joined by others; indeed,
it appeared not very satisfactory. decision: Mr.
Tinson caught in most beautiful style by Wheat
croft, amid considerable cheering; as was Bage by
Wright There was very cautious playing by those
fielding too much for them, particularly the long
stop of young Buckley, and the wicket keeping OF
the elder Tnson. They remained in rather better
than one hour, and out Of about " balls, scored "a
runs and one bye
The Northerners then went in, and Wid's batting
was much admired. Groome's left-handed bowling
was most effective, but was well and cautiously OPP
posed by the former. Syme was less. fortunate,

commencement was most unfortunate: out OF seven
balls, SIX were declared wide Much was expected
from the well known ability of Wheatcroft, but just
after he made his fourth score he but slightly struck
the ball and which caught by Groome. Green's play

or third ball he was bowled out by Marsh. The
fielding throughout was pretty good except IN the
early part of this innings, when Warren, as long
stop, was rather nervous, or appeared to have had
his fingers somewhat creased, for the ball more than
once slipped through them. Groome's bowling, as
it ever is most admirable and called forth great
praise. Not much was expected from the two last

far more than any of the previous players; nor did
Shaw fall far behind him; he carried his bat out.
This innings occupied one hour and fifty minutes
The score SO runs, II wide balls, byes, one no
ball-total 49,
The party and their friends adjourned to dinner at
Burrows's, where good and substantial meal was
provided-such as cricketers know well how to en-

down. These having been amply enjoyed in brief
space-for the noble game of cricket always COM

twas now for the Southerns to go in, and they
showed that a good dinner and some practice
made material difference. Bristow led the

showed some good fielding as short stop; in takins
made some clever summersets, delivering his ball:
at the same time with great activity, quickness
and ability Brstow was out upwards of al
hour scoring "a, when he was bowled GU
by Wheatcroft. Marshs play was most cautious
and deserved the success he met with. Mr.. Down
ing's play was cool and collected, but Wheatcrof
caught him just as he was getting warm. Mr.. Har
rson showed the spirit of an old cricketer; though
near upon 50 years, was as lively as those not hal
the number, and bore his bat in triumph from tn
field net being called upon to score at all. Tn
score stood at the conclusion of the innings, 50 run
and two byes; which, together with % got at TIL
first innings, made the total 50 leaving their oppo
mems some torget on their second innings.
On the part OF the Northerns, Messrs. Syme ant
/ Wheatcrott went in tor their second innings. A
the end OF the third over, it was found that Mr.
j Syme scored three, when he was caught in beauti
full style by the Senior Tinson. Mr.. Wheatcrof
sbored another three which, with two wide ball
and two byes, and Buckley one, made the Norther
ners the winners OF one game out Of four, as un
derstand, that has been played between them.
On the whole, this is one Of the best games tina
