James's ifajesine.  This, the last match of the season at Lord's Ground, was commenced on Thursday. South Wales won the toss for innings,and went in first, about half-past twelve. The wickets were really good, and played well. Major Milman and Captain Parnell started the bowling. The batting showed extremely strong, so as to cause a change of bowling, and Mt. Fitzgerald went on at Major Milman's end. Messrs. Grace, Sewell, Bishop, Reads, and Howsin made good scores, the latter gaining the " leger" with 52. Mr. Crawshay carried out his bat with 17. The first wicket fell for 44, second for 121, third for 149, fourth for 204, fifth for 210, sixth for 223, seventh for 233, eighth for 235, ninth for 254, and tenth for 264. The fielding of I Zingari was indifferent, but their team was weak, owing to absenteeism—Goodwood Races being on, and other causes. The representatives at the wickets for I Zingari were Mr. W. E. Grimston (a member of a famed cricket family) and Lord Hyde, the bowlers being Messrs. Grace and Howsin. I bit was made by Mr. Grimston, for which three runs were gained, but in attempting a fourth Lord Hyde was splendidly thrown out by a finely fielded ball by Mr. Grace; 1 wicket and 'S runs. Major Milman was the next, and his hitting was extraordinary, considering that he has but one hand; the other he lost during the Russian war in the Crimea. His score of 14 comprised two fours, a three, and three singles; 2 wickets and 33 runs. Captain Parnell left the score unaltered. Mr. W. E. Grimston still defended his wicket, and preserved the prestige of the name well, and when faced by Mr. Stacey he was ably supported, both making runs fast. 51r. Reads relieved Mr. Howsin of the ball, and Mr. Grace made a change from "slow" to " fast." Mr. Stacey, having marked 34, was caught by the longstop (Mr. Williams); among his figures were three fours, two threes, and a two. At the conclusion of tht game, the score stood as under:—  BWAR'BItA AND GLAMORGAN lINSALD, SATURDAY, Airavar 8, !Ms. optidats st the grtn. . purpose of partitioning Russia and Penises' in the RAILWAY TIMM TABLWL, interest of France would not long be Minister.
