CRICKET.

The match on the Oval on Saturday was between an eleven which was in the main composed of the men who will do battle for the Province in Canterbury on the 27th and 28bh inst., and the next fifteen of the D.C.C. it resulted in the hollow defeat of the eleven, who only made 50, Sampson contributing 13 and Fenwick (not out) 14. Fulton, Godby, and Clark, who might reasonably have been expected to score, were unfortunate in having “ducks’ ergi” placed tot ei- c edit. Thj fifteen got 81, with the loss of nine wickets, Nelson making 22, Paramor 12, and F. Fulton 11. THE IN lERCOLONIAL MATCH. n he match N. cs. Wales v. Victoria resulted in a victory for the Welshmen by six wickets. Kelly, of Victoria, was the highest scorer, with 86, closely followed by Bannerman with 81 for N. S'. Wales. The attendance throughout the match was good. THE INTERPROVINCIAL MATCH.
