TOWN v COUNTRY.

This match was concluded on Saturday last. It will be remembered that the Town bad played both their innings, making 114 and Hi), in all 233. The Country scored 133 in their first innings, and had to go in on Saturday last to make 101 runs to win the match. After some delay, caused by the non-attendance of some of the players, the Country commenced their task by sending in Ollivier and Alpo to the bowling of Fuller and Asbby, the former, as usual, taking first ball, and led off with a i to leg—a luckv hit, and then a single. A 2 from the first ball by Ashby followed, but in Fuller'n second over Alpe played a ball on to his wicket—one for 7. Lee then became Ollivier's partner, and, as will be seen from the score below, they won the game. The batting of Lee was very fine, and although out of practice he scored quickly and in his usual neat style. He made a splendid hit, to square-leg, for which they ran 5. Two <±'s also to leg and two 3's were amongst his principal hits. He did not give a chance. Ollivier played a steady innings, but when he had made 33 he gave a hard chance to Fuller in the slips, but fortunately escaped. The bowling was good, and at times difficult tc play. One over from Ashby (his second) was very fine, and gave Ollivier some trouble to keep his wicket in order. The fielding was fair, but in some instances an improve ment might easily be made with advantage. Byes again are a considerable item, and we have to repeat our remarks on this subject, that when Alpe and Ollivier play on the same side, byes become numerous on the opposite side. This is certainly a very bad state of things, and we hope that ere long some one will take to this department of the game. The following are the scores : Town. Ist Innings. 2nd Innings. C.
