CRICKET.

A match between the Dunedin and South uuediu ( ticket (jlu->b was commenced on Saturday, the 23nl ult., at the Southern beer sat; on Ground and was c- Deluded last Saturday m favor of the i O.(J. by five wickets. Bemg so near the begin mo* of the season neither side was in very go d form. South Dunedin won the toss, and elected to take advantage of a hue day and a good wicket by " going in first. Ine only stand made by Uithbury and Lambert, both of wh showed some good leg-hitting. The former was unfortunately bowled off his pads (after making 10 while hitting at a haif-voiley ; Lambert continued to bit away some time longer, but was eventually run out for a eomiwh.it lucky i i L" j ettle I’Kvou in good lorm for 8, when he had to retire for infringing 1 w. 24. Ihe innings closed for 58. Glen and Paiamor were boTi pretty well on the spot, the former heui£ particularly successful with head balls. Th - Dun-din Club commenced their innings hauly, and fiw good wickets fell for only thirtem runs Fenwick ..ml Macdonuell, however, soon u Cored the aspect of t *e game, and the former by good all-round play, ami the latter by hard hitting, kept the score moving. Several changes of howling were t led but it was not till 11. Godby’s slow curlers ’ *ere introduced, that Macdonnell was well caught in the long field by L.imbeit. His contr buth-n of thiity was a useful but not a-togeihe- faultless one. He should have been caught in the early part of his innings by tne wicket-keeper, who was looking in the diiecii-u of pa l, which was at the time silling on the brim of his straw hat, a-mirim-.; the ribbon, ti-nwick soon Pillowed suit; stepping out to drive a short pitched slow he paid t e usual penalty, being stumped. He pl.iyed areally good cr.cKe--i’s innings of 32, put together in good form wit out a chance. T.uJk made 13 by steady play, and when s umps were drawn for the day the total was lid lor the Joss of eight W.ckels. On >aturday last play was resumed by Glen and Morrison defending their wici.ets against the attacKß of Lathbw y ami Lambert; only 5 runs were added when i Hen was bowled* i acau did not continue his innings, ami the u-'tal was 121, or 63 to the good The second innings of the S H.C.C. looked like being a repetition of their first; ot he li rat seven batsmen only one (U. 0.

Three other wickets fell before the runs were got, Khodes carrying out his bat for a very lucky 14, in which he should have been caught three times. The fielding of the S. ! was very bad, and it was mainly owing to Lathbury’s bowling that they made a good fight. Full scores are appended. We may add that there was a marked improvement in the appearance of the ground ; the long grass round the sides lias almost all gone, showing that Hendley mud have been hard at it for some days past. ».
