THE MATCH BETWEEN THE ELEvENS.


This really interesting contest vas resumed yester-
day. at II 2 by Messrs. Carpenter and Gbbes taking
their stand Of the wickets to the bowling of Wsden
ard Grurdy. The weather early in the day gave
promise Of being fine and pleasant, the wind Of the
previous day having sba;ed considerably but toward
rOon q strong westerly wind prevailed, raising the
dust very VI pie .santly and materially affecting the
play Of the game. Nevertheless, il was proceeded
with, and some excellent play was shown, both 10
batting and fielding before the close Of the proceed
inge. Carpenter maintained his position at the wicket
and finally retired with honors for the fine score of 81
he carrying his bat out the last wicket falling for 20
runs Of which Jackson and himself had made u,
the remainder Of the wickets having fallen for the
addition al number Of rune. Both Grundy and Wisden
bovled admirably, the former beins on the spot
the best rart OF the time. The fielding excellent,
Iockyers play a. the wickets being its prominent
feature, and S. Wright long stop and filed the
position very creditsby, not bye being scored The
innings terminated at 1855, and shortly afterward
Stephenson side commenced their second innings by
sending in PAR and Waller to the bowling Of jackson
and Hayward. For hslf an hour Par and Waller de-
Tended their wickets from the strong attacks Of Jsck
con, his balls being sen, in very swiftly. Pan, Of
course did the principal amount of the hitting but
"
than has yet done sgainst the bowling and fielding
of the Eleven. HIS score of II marked by some
yery good fplay cuts for three and two twos bsing
prominent Psrr run up the fine score of 80, Of
which q were made by threes chiefly drives and leg
bite. He gave promise of making the score of the
match when in miscaculstng the powers of Head in
the field he was run out, the ball being well felded by
Head TO jackson. Lockyer and Whby were the only
players beside Parr and Waller to make any score
the formers II being rapidly obtained by three
drives for three each cut for the number and
singles. wildly played steadily for the average
score Of seven, drive for two being his beet
bit. Grundy was given out as caught
off his glove, the ball garciDg of Lang at
wicket to Diver at long stop, this being an unlucky
affair." ss some fine batting was looked for from this
fine free hitter. Cafyn gave chance to Lilywhite
after scoring single and Stephenson got in on Wiz
d.ns stumps before he had scored at ALL Stephenson
was not ON the wicket in his bowling as much as he
usually is. lie BOWED all the wdss scored. Hayward
bowled finely but yet did not prove as effective on
the wickets as he did the previous innings. The
fielding Of the English players was very tine through
out, but the assistance they derived from the others
was not what it should have been. The innings ter
minated at 1870 for score of 90the total score Of
~
get TO wiz. Toe Stephenson eide when stumps
we're drawn, two wickets having fallen without run
being obtained. The game will be resumed at IL
o'clock th. morning, and Lockyer is at the wicket
and the strongest players have to go in, it will
be well worth seeing. Those having to 20 in say
they can make up the score; but We doubt it. Con
siderable interest was excited the ground among
the llplsyers present By the fact Of the Eleven
being DESTROYS of having game of base ball with
the leading players of this city If they are DESTROYS
| of another benefit, they could not adopt surer
method Of drawing crowd OF visitors than by get
ting up just such match, to be played on the ground
they now have. The place would not hold the crowd
that would be desirous Of witnessing such contest.

Eleven and they may yet scceptit. Let US see what
