ENGLAND V. THE COLONIES.

This match was commenced on Saturday last. The Colonies being three amn short of their team, Messrs Neilson and Baker played for them. Messrs Corfe and Ollivier having been elected captains of their respective sides, tossed for innings, which was won by the former, who elected to take the first innings, going in himself with Dickinson, to the bowling of Chalmers from the lower end, and T. R. Moure at the northern. When Corfe had made nine runs Dickinson was beautifully caught by E. Fowler at third man, the first wicket thus falling for 9. The second (H. W. Moore), and third (Monck), for 12, and the fourth (Stevens) for 14. This looked very promising for the Colonies, but Souter was not to be disposed of so quickly, and with Corfe made a long stand. Several changes of bowling were tried, but wiihout effect, until at last Souter, in hitting round at a leg-bail from Neilson, gave Ollivier a chance, which was taken advantage of. The retiring batsman had put together 23 very quickly, and without a chance, by six 2’s and singles—five for 63. This was the only stand made during the innings, as the remainder were quickly disposed of, Ollivier assisting in dismissing four of the remaining five wickets. The innings closed for 98, there being only one extra, a leg-bye. Corfe, who went in first, received first ball, and carried his bat out, not having given a chance during his innings. His score of 56 was well made, and included a 6, three 4’s, two 3’s, and six 2’s. The Colonies then took up the defensive, and at first seemed as if they would make a good score, but the fates were not propitious, as, after the fall of the fourth wicket, Oliivier’s, for 50, the remainder only added 7 runs. The wickets fell as follows One for 2, two for 19, three for 25, four for 50, five for 50, six for 54, seven for 56, eight for 57—the Colonies being two men short. Wood only obtained a double figure for the Colonics : he played well for his 30, which was made up by two 3’s, four 2’s, and singles. Ollivier began well, with an on drive for 4, but a splendid catch at short slip, off Sweet’s bowling, by H. W. Moore, disposed of him just when he was getting set. The Colonies are thus 41 runs behind, and will have to show a great improvement if they want to win the match. The fielding on both sides was very fair, although England labored under a disadvantage in not having an efficient longstop. Stuart longstopped very well and made two good catches off the slow bowling, but found the fast bowling of Sweet a little too much for him. The Colonics sustained a great loss in Fuller, who was unavoidably prevented from playing. The match will be resumed on Saturday next. The following is the score : ENGLAND. First Innings. 0. G.

ANALYSIS OF BOWLING. England—First Innings : Chalmers—24 balls, 20 runs, 1 wicket. T. R. Moore—GO balls, 2 maiden overs, 24 runs, 3 wickets. Beard—3o balls, 13 runs.

Moore, 86 balls, 2 maiden overs, 25 runs, 4 wickets Dickinson—lß balls, 9 runs, U. V C.C.C. (SECOND ELEVENS). This match was commenced on Saturday, and, so far, has proved a close game, though slightly in favor of the former, who, for once, had all the luck with them. The U.C.C.C. took first innings, and ought to have been disposed of for a very small total, but indifferent all round fielding, together with several easy chances being declined, allowed three men to get into double figures, Dawe leading off with 17 (the product of three lives) ; Macquarrie came next with 12, and Nalder close up with 10—total, 83. The C. then went in, but made only a very poor stand, and were all out for the miserable total of 60, to which number “ extras ” contributed 19. Chapman (not out) 9, Frith and Thompson 7 each, being the only men who showed anything like form. The U.C C. then commenced their second innings, and when time was called had lost two wickets for 15 runs, 8 of which were made from Shelton's last over, a series of splendid “ long hops ” which were evidently relished by Cuff, who soon ran up 9 (not out), but was missed at the wicket off Frith before he had scored, Shelton was extremely lucky in getting wickets in the first innings ; but, in spite of this proved, on the whole, a decidedly expensive bowler ; in fact, the more we see of his bowling, the more we are convinced that it is not even up to second eleven form. For the C.C.C. Frith bowled well, but with very hard luck, and also made a good catch at short slip, which disposed of Dawe, and for the U.C.O.C. Moore and Cuff howled well, but the fielding on both sides was decidedly loose. The match will be continued next Saturday at 2 p.m. The following is the full score, &c : U.C.C C. First innings.

A match between the above clubs took place on Friday last, on the Avonside ground, which resulted in a victory for the local team with six wickets to fall, the result being chiefly owing to the excellent bowling and batting of Mr H.
