CRICKET.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND UNIVERSITIES V THE WORLD. The above match was commenced on Saturday last. The World won the toss, and elected to act on the defensive, Ollivier and Wood being their fust representatives, the former taking first ball from H. W. Moore, who began the bowling from the northern end. Both batsmen played steady, and evidently intended to stay. Sweet took up the bowling in at the southern end, and commenced with a maiden over, but after he had delivered four overs, no wicket having been obtained, and byes coming freely, the captain put on Neilson vice Sweet. This had the effect of stopping the rapid growth of byes, but still neither batsmen could be induced to leave. H. W. Moore then gave up the ball to his brother F. Moore. 10 runs were scored from the new bowler, first two overs, when H. W. Moore again resumed, and with his fourth ball succeeded in displacing Ollivier, bowling him off his foot, but not before 48 runs had been made, and neither batsmen had given a chance. The next four wickets fell quickly, the second and third only saw 1 run each added to the total. The fourth, Wood’s, fell for 58. The retiring batsman played very carefully for his score of 50, which includes three 3’s and two 2’s. T. R. Moore was badly run out; 5 for 59. This, after such a good beginning, looked rather gloomy for the World, but with J. Fowler and D’Emden another stand was made, J. Fowler hitting freely, making a very serviceable on-drive for 5 off Neilson. It would have been a good hit had it been on the other side of the wicket, but as it was it puzzled the field considerably. Sweet then relieved Neilson, and in his second over Fowler, who was rather frightened at the pace, allowed one to pass; 6 for 85. The retiring batsman made 18 by a 5, two 3’s, two 2’s, and singles. D’Emden was soon afterwards bowled off his pads, 7 for 89, and the last three wickets added but 6 runs to the total, the innings closing for 95. With as little delay as possible the World took the field, T. R. Moore and Fuller being their early bowlers, H. W. Moore and Neilson commencing the batting. When about 25 runs had been scored Neilson gave an easy chance to long on, which was not taken, the fieldsman having to run some [distance. Cox then took up the bowling at Moore’s end, and Neilson returned one to him, but being too eager to secure the catch, missed it. Soon after this he bowled a no ball, and this time Neilson was caught at point, but, of course, was not out. After these various pieces of ill luck the score .mounted up freely, H. W. Moore, however, doing the principal part of the run getting. When the score had reached 55, Neilson was, however, caught at point. Baker was next, but did not stay long, the light getting very bad, and making it difficult to see the ball with certainty. The new comer allowed a very simple ball from Souter to take his wicket; 2 for 69. The two next wickets fell for 70, and the fifth only reached 74, when time was cal led, H. W. Moore being not out 50, which were put together without a chance, and was a fine display of batting. He hit freely to all parts of the field, and one hit to leg for 4 being very fine going hard against the fence. We are sorry to hear that this gentleman is about to leave the colony for England, but

believe that it is his intention to return again to the province in a few years. The following is the score of the match which, in consequence of several of the players on the public schorls side being unable to play on Saturday next, we believe will not be played out: — THE WORLD.

A home paper reports that recently in a match in Hertfordshire, while playing with the Yorkshire eleven, Mr Savile made a most extraordinary hit of 135 yards to the fall, reputed to be the longest on record in the annals of this noble game.
