CROMWELL V. CLYDE. i ffba fit 1 at. match ot the season between the * above clubs was played on the ground of the former on Friday last, and resulted in a vie- * tory for Cromwell on thaErat innings. Wet. ( weather' Raying held over, a very fair day f for. cricket was-the lot of the players. The 1 matting played upon, was dull, but not so 1 dead-bdt that the ball-had tolerably good working, and the fielding on both sides was ' ’fair. The Cromwell Band was on the I ground during the afternoon, and treated ’ both players ami spectators to a number of f selections. The gains "was commenced at e 10.3.0 a.m., and the-Clyde skipper having . v lost the toss, had to fake the field, Crom- e well starting by sending in. JDavidsop and ° Maddock to the ■ wickets to the bowl- £ ing of McDonald and Thomson. The two jhatsmen made things pretty lively for Clyde, *' the first wicket (Maddock) not falling till they had put together 39 Maddock placed r a very lucky innings for 25; hut the batting 1 of Davidson was very good, (and could not a be got rid of till he had put together 12. in r good style), but none of the other batsmen 8 made muoh ot a show, the next highest ' scorer (O. Howell) contributing 9, the t innings closing for 75 runs. Clyde corns * menoed their innings with McDonald and 8 Thomson, but the partnership was not to be 0 of long duration, as, after a couple ot overs r (Davidson and Tor ence bowling) Thomson ' lan himself out for T. /McDonald played a > veiy hard innings for sixteen, and Evans was tips, oily other batsmen, who, succeeded \ in getting into double figures (14). There c was no delay, in starting the second innifigs of Cromwell. which closed for 71, Maddock j 3a643Di«iiiso'h agaia hcicg. top scorers with f 23 and 11 respectively. Clyde started their, second innings with 100 runs to get to win, ( but time was called when six wickets were; .1 d&WnVfor/ 64. THogan (21), Thomson (14, 1 i not out), and Stevens (11), played very well ..torEnsir runs, the former especially punishing the bowlers, and it was not until several i .ehanges.pf, bowling had been Tried that Cox 1 suedee'ded in dislodgitfg his timbers ; Mad- • dock’s “grubbers,” or as the Americans - cal! .them “ sneaking-shoddies,’’ being of no avail. Time being called at 6. 30., left the local team winners oh the first, innings by 28 runs. At the'termination of the game bheers wefe given fcjif both teams, and also the.respective captains, which concluded a Very enjoyable game of cricket.
