CRICKET.

The M.C.C.C. commenced their match of Eleven against Twenty-two. The former were the first in the field, and quickly disposed of their opponents for the small score of 61. Only two of the Twenty-two succeeded in making double figures—namely, Fairhurst and Holt. The former made a few nice drives, and no doubt with practice will in time develope into a good cricketer. The bowling analysis of Ashby is particularly good, although at times it was not on the wicket. The Eleven went in and made 27 for the loss of three wickets, J. Fowler being not out with 6. The following is the score:— TWENTY TWO. Ist innings. W. Horner, b Fuller ... 0 G, Bell, b Fuller 5 T. J, Hill, b Fuller 0 A. G. Watson, b Ashby 0 J. Horner, b Ashby 3 G, A. Turner, b Ashby 3 G.
