Tho annual match between the teams from'tho two offices was played yesterday, resulting iti a victory for the Herald by 32 runs, which is only what might have been expected seeing their employes havo tho Saturday half-holiday, and during tho pcfiHon play many matches. During the week tho TELuoitArn men practised assiduously, generally with a lump of deal for a bat and a collection of rags for a ball. The betting on the event would have been tremendous, judging by tho number of layers, had there been any takers,- but as tho twenty-two men were of ono mind as to tho result, the Telegeapu " devil,"-who was hit for threepence, is the only considerable .loser on the ovent The respective- captains Mtdlany (Herald) and A. Young (Teleobaph) having tossed, fortune of course favored tho bravo, and the TELECHurn sent their opponents to the wickets, Yatcs and 0. Young first representing them, Benttie bowling. Off the first over Yatcs was dismissed without scoring-, being well taken at cover. Tho second wicket fell for five, but Roydhouse and S. Freeman stopped the slaughter; and soon took liberties with tho fieldsmen, liitting. balls in all directions, glap into some ono's hands only to be

dropped. Nicholson, by a good catch, got rid of Freeman for 10, the innings closing for 70 nineteen of which were extras MnlhncT contributing lo by the best battin" of his side. The T kusobath men bo"wi°woll, the firrit five wickets putting on nearly -'0 runs, but they were all disposed of for 09, Storkcy playing a capital innings of 20 not out, Cook, who made \l, being caught behind the wicket oil' the handle of the 0 bat. In the second innings the Herald totted up 71, Mullany and C. Young getting 10 each, to which the Telegraph could only reply with 43, G. Freeman getting 13. Of course the bust team did not win, but then we know the best team never docs win. The Herald bowling and fielding were immensely superior to their opponents, Palmer and Mulluny distinguishing themselves in the former department, but the Telegram bad the best display in the batting. Thou- bowling, was a'siirht i\,r the gods, not one ot thenmany tried ones having anything like a pitch, while the pace was erratic, being froqnentlv varied with the pleasing wide. The fielding was wretched, though Storkey and G. Freeman, by brilliant catches, somo-wh-it made amends for tho poor display ■ rpncrnlly. One of the batsmen, who sucincd as if he could stay for a week without scoring, getting tho honors of the day in the shape of a black eye. The umpiring- was quite up to tho country averaire, all'the mistakes being in the Telegraph's first innings, one batsman beiii"- given out lbw not only for a ball that broke, while the leg was certainly not within indies of being in front of tho wicket, while another was caught from a ball which his only regret was ho did not got at. Somo amends were, however, given by a batsman being given in who was clean bowled. The clay passed off pleasantly and without a hitch, though now and again the scorer seemed to bo scoring faster than the batsmen. Nicholson bowled best for the losers, and not a single player got a pair of specs. Young kept wicket well for the Hcrii.lcl. To-day, as Bret Hnrtc irrot in his first poem, there are cloven still' men, who wiser are and sorer than on the previous clay. Scores: —■ Herald. Ist Innings. 2nd;innings. C.
