CRICKET MATCH.-The holiday last Saturday
was taken advantage OF for a cricket match be-
tween eighteen of the employees at the Honolulu
Iron Works, and an eleven of the Honolulu
Cricket Club. A'majority of the members of the
first eleven of the Houolnlu Cricket Club. being
out OF town, or otherwise engaged. the challenge
from the Iron Works was taken up by the second
eleven, with the assistance of Harrison and Perry.
Both teams were partly composed of novices, and
the match was rather an opportunity for good
practice, than an occasion for the display of Gne
cricket. 1t would, therefore. be invidious to single
out any event Of the game for praise or criticism.
The fielding was as usual the weak point. There
can be little doubt that the II. c.. C.. eleven would
not have lost the match had their knowledge and
practice in this important part of the art of
cricket been equal to the average OF their batting.
Ten byes too. ont Of IA total score OF 20 is not a cred
liable showing. The match was commenced about
noon, the eighteen taking the field. The result of
the day was a victory for the Iron Works team
with three wiekets to spare. We give the bat
ting score below. No score of the bowling is avail-
able for publication. For the II. G. c., Harrison
took nine wickets, and Perry six wickets in the
first innings Perry seven. and Whitney eight in
the second. For the III. !. W.. Scrimgeour took six
wickets in the first, and five in the second innings
MOllisOn four in the first. and two in the second,
the two other wickets falling to Ives.
