CLYDE V, CROMWELL.

(Bx Stone waller],

Saturday last, November 21, the day on w ioli the Clyde and Cromwell cricket clubs met to conrest their first match of th■ ■ season, wdl always be rememhereil by noth cricketers an : onlook rs alike, as one of the most enjoyable days yet spent on the Clyde cricket ground, no only was the day admirably suitedior the game, but the perfect harmony and good feeling that existed amongst the players greatly tended to carry the match through to that most successful and pleasing end for which the game was particularly notice bin. At II 3d a.m. Captains Turtou an I Stevens tossed the coin, resulting in favor of tne Gly lo c* itain, who daei le I on batting on the really first-class wicket that w ,s in wailing Captain Til-ton lost no tim; in plan ng his m n in ilk > field, Messs K ■>-. e an ■ Sun n m Is being the first representatives of tht bat for Oly le. A fair |Un I wasma 4 #, when Simmon s unfortnnaiely placed bis leg where bis bat should have been, and retired with two. H gan next essaye.i the task of knocking the nowlin; about, but it was evidently not this b its man’s day not, Torrance sending him back to the tent for nothing, McConnochie was next, and after scoring I, played iho ball on to his wicket. K ele wa > here bow e I by Davidson, he having played nicely for 9. Mo ri-on and Thomson were now part ners, and great things were expected, hut it was not to he. ss Torrance was very humpy, not. one of hie "alls being al.ke. while several of the batsmen were ra her severely pasted by him about the legs and hands, it being quite Isnghab e to witoeei the unfortunates as thev limped ..and slink their injure I parts, Thomson made six when he was bowled by Torrance. ■ Morrison playe I hit nsual d -siting bat for ten, he being canght by Gudgeon at cover point Sieve -s an i Shaw (not out) were thi only other score s, th - innings closing for 52. After an interval of a few minutes Cromwell sent in Davidson and Howell, the latter, how ey. r. did not remain long, Thomson sending his bails flying with his second ball. Tor ranee appeared,- but lost Da video*, 8i almonds sending down one tnat proved too ■ mno i for him. Da Ra»en joined Torrance, an-i being this gentleman’s first appearance on a Naw Zodand .wicket, the Clyde men were sit eagerness to see of what stuff the new Oonjerwas mady. jbjgipxmade a good impression, qft rlefenoe Mtng very strong, while his Utfing was vigorots, and beforsTSs presehi season is' over, great thias*a»J|ht bo looked lor from this player.

However, hie life waa short hat merry, Shaw mahing a Noe catch in the long Held, thee dismissing tha bataman for 8- Tor. ranco was here Howled by Thomson for 8. Turten ran op 15 in a very short time be* (ore he was caught M arks ployed nicely for 8, aad no doubt would have farther troubled the bowlers had hs not baea smartly stamped by Hogan. None of the ether bitsmen were troabltooma, the innings closing for 50, nr 2 behind that of Clyde, Stevens and McOonnochie opened the second innings of Cly le, bat the former did not remain long, ha being taut to the rightabout by De Raves. Hogan partnered MoCnnnno hie, bat Torrance saut him one on to hie knee instead of the bat, with the result that ha was rather severely injured, which necessitated bis retirement to the tent. Sim-nonds and Thomson fall to Torrance for nothing. Morrison succeeded, and after an interval of so me time, during which there was some ni-e play, Torrance was again to the fora, this time sending McOonnoobie home to the tent with 8 opposite his namu. Ko-'o partnered Morrison, and tha spectators were afforded some amusement in the way of big hitting. Both batsmen were scorin' fa-fc when De Raven found an opening to Keale’s stamps, the batsman having scored his 21 runs in quick time. Mormon continu' d to make things rather warm, but “vsntna'iy received hi* quietus from De Raven, and retire I with 2>, they being got in this player's well-known Hashing style. The rem doing wickets fell rapidly, and the innings closed for "*>. Cromwell requiring 79 to win, amt in Goodger' »nd Ti»*rd to face the Clyde hj orling the former making a somewhat lucky score of IS. aad beiog'tho only double figure man in the innings. Da Raven, T'jur , Davidson, Marks an > Howell played well, they a'l retiring wi hj a small ooatribntou The innings closed for 61. Clyde thus winning a clo-o y con teste i match by 17 ran* The fielding and bowling of noth teams was goo I, while the respective cap sins were well up to their work. Three hearty cheers having been given for Inch teams, scorers, and umpires Messrs Riper and Allred—the latter gentleman coming from Ale* mdra to act f r Ciy le, and look where they may. I doubt if a better selection o mid have been male, anil hope thit it will be by in, means the last time that I shall see this gentleman’s ganiai face on the C ydo ciioke; cr >und Lis’, but not least, w-s the dinner supplied by tbo 0 yl« dub to the visitors at the Pn t Pnillio Hotel, and whio i wis served up by Host Holden in a man nohighlv sati-f ictory to all concerned. Cattiin 8 evens p oposjd the health of the Cromwell team in a few apn-ounate words, coupled with the name of Ciptain Tnrton [n replying. < lapt iin Tnrto i remarked that when a tta cb with Ciyle was mooed in Crninwoll, t'mre was not, the s i hj es diffi cnlty in raising a team to piny, as It was genera ly acknowledged that the in i chebetween the two clubs were always of t.t e ■ongt plena nit and enjiva'ile d s -rip'ion Captain Tur on’s reran ks were rec iv« i i with apolauso.
