CRICKET.

THE ALL ENGLAND ELEVEN v WESTLAND TWENTY-TWO. [By Telbobaph.] After the miserably wet second day of this match, the lovely weather of the third day (yesterday) was thoroughly appreciated by the largo number who visited the racecourse. Daring the afternoon there mus have been 500 or GOO interested spectators, aud this notwithstanding the fact that the bridge was submerged, and the only means of reaching the cricket ground was by boat. At first the only boat available was a very leaky ono, which could carry no more than half a dozen passengers at a time, bat later on several boats arrived from tho town, and did good service. The ground was in excellent order, considering the saturation, it had re jceived on tho previous day. The game resumed at one o’clock, whoa Newtoa and Oressweli appeared at the wickets. Souther ton aud Lillywhite having bowled four maiden overs, Newton sent in succession two balls to tho long field off, scoring 5 for the two. Oressweli then got one in tho same style, following it up by stealing another run by a bit to mid-wicket, and making two by a hit to long-field-off Nowtou gave a chance for a catch, but no was there. After getting

another run—making his score B—he gave a second chance, this time Armitage being all fhere—the third man out for 10 Perkins now went in, but was almost immediately deserted by Oresswell, who had scored 3 fourth man out for 12. McGregor followed, Out only made I, He might have stolon another, but Perkins would not risk it —fifth man out for 16. Pickering next appeared, and played in euoh style aa to succeed in making two figures, and the top score of his side; one double and one treble, which ought have been more, followed one after another from two successive balls off southerton. Perkins then put the ball into Oharlwood’s hands—sixth man out for 16 Tennant, who followed, made a good hit for 2, and then failed to guard his wicket from c’outherton—seventh man out for 23, Nixon took the bat only to lay it down again, as he was almost immediately run out—eighth man out for 23. Martin also added nothing to the score, ho being caught the first ball by Ulyett—ninth man out for 23. Guinness, the captain of the Twonty>two, had a similar ill-fortune, having the mortification of seeing his wicket knocked down before he could make his mark. Tenth man for 26, Daw and Howarth followed suit, both falling victims to Southerton—twelfth man out for 26 White now came to the rescue, and made a brilliant hit nearly to the grand stand ; for this he scored 3. Ticketing, however, now yielded to his fate, in the shape of Selby, who caught his ball in a most tantalising manner, playing with it as a cal does with a mouse—thirteenth man out for 31, Farqubar succeeded, but after one good drive to long field off, for which be scored 2, was caught by Shaw at midwicket on—fourteenth man out for 36. North came next, but was caught by Emmett without scoring—fifteenth man out for 36, Peacock came next, and by a splendid hit to long field on made 3. White now sent the ball into Hill’s hands—sixteenth man out for 36. Howie succeeded, but immediately Peacock deserted him, having been bowled out by Lilly-white—seventeenth man out for 43. Mace took the vacant place, Howie directly skying a ball which, to the admiration of all, Armitage secured, though it appeared to be out of his reach —eighteenth man out for 43. Mace next amused the spectators by some extraordinary cricketing. He, however, appeared to have a charmed life. Morse now made a fine hit to long-leg, for which he scored 2 and a couple of singles, when Southerton sent a ball which reached hia wicket nineteenth man out for 47. Coy followed, and completed the half hundred by a splendid hit to long field on. This was the lust score, as upon Mace being bowled by Southerton, Lillywhite disposed of Coy before Wethered, the last of the Twenty two, had a chance of seeing the ball. As the Westland men had succeeded in coming within 80 of their opponents, it was now for the All-England men to go to the wickets for a second innings. After an interval of about twenty minutes Southerton and Selby appeared, and soon gave the field some work to do. Selby was the first to retire before a ball from Morse—first man out for 18. Greenwood followed, and made the top score of 25, Southerton in the meantime having succumbed to Morse's bowling, Armitage followed, but was run out after scoring 3, He left his ground before MacGregor, who was bowling, had delivered the ball. Macgregor seized the opportunity and displaced the stumps—third man out for 43. Chari wood now took the bat, and made a number of singles. He offered a chance to long field on, but it was not accepted. Greenwood was not so fortunate, as Martin did not let him off when he gave him a chance—fourth man out for 56 Ulyett now joined Charlwood, and made the fielding lively ; his first hit was nearly to the grand stand, For this he scored 4 ; he made another 4, two 3’s, and two 2’s before the stumps were drawn at six o’clock. As on the previous day so yesterday, no provision had been made to facilitate the scorers or press representatives in their duties.
