CRICKET.

MARRIED v. SINGLE. The weather on Saturday was very good for an exhibition of cricket, being warm, and the wind was not too strong. The sun was very powerful, and at times created rather an unpleasant glare for the players. There was a very good attendance of ladies, and it is to be hoped that they will continue to grace the ground with their presence; as it is tar more pleasant to the cricketers to play when there are a number oi spectators looking on, -especially if they be ladies. The game, which had been stopped on the previous Saturday afternoon by ti thunderetorm, was continued, Ollivier and Wilson, the not outs for 37 and 7 respectively, taking their places at the wicket. The former commenced by hitting the first ball from Frith for 3. but uathing particular was done until Wilson made a fine leg hit off Frith for 4t, which he followed immediately bj a cut for 3 off the same bowler. Ashbv, however, with ti f;ne break-back, dismissed Wilson, 'and in the next over got Ollivier off his pads—one lor 75 ; two for 77. Allen was the only other double figure, mating 10 by a 3, three 2'a. and a single. Sweet mad • a good drive for i), but was neatly stumped by Skelton oft Beauwont. Macdonnell ran himself out iu rather a simple manner A very fine catch by Aebby caused Stevens to retire, and the total at "the fall of the last, wicket was onlyilo, of which Ollivier and Wilson obtained 75. The Singh" then went in, Neilaon and Skelton bping fliti to appear; the former did most of the run (getting, -vthile tho latter contented himself rath playing the straight ones and missing the others. " At 33, however, Neilson tried to •-teal a *\xz to'.- an overthrow, but a nsat piece fit fj<3djn£ Ulwji Gw#> wi B. Fo»W4w'

posed of Skelton. Ashby came, and was not long running up his total of 17. He commenced with a 5 off Turner, then a 3 and a 5 off Dickinson, another 3 off Turner, and a 1 off Sweet, who had relieved Dickinson, but the latter bowler then bowled his off bail—2 for 61. Morrison soon gave a chance to the bowler— 3 for 66. Neilson was soon afterwards run out, but not until he had put together 44 in a nice free hitting style. His principal figures were four 4's, four 3's, and a 2—4 for 72. Mathias was also run out by a bad piece of judgment —5 for 77, when time was called, the match thus ending in a draw. Ashby and Frith bowled well for the Single. The following is the score :

The match to-day between Public Schools and Universities against the World will commence at 10.30 a.m. M.C.C.C. 2nd ELEVEN v. AN ELEVEN U.C.C.C. The return match between the above, commenced on the Ist inst., was concluded on Saturday last in favor of the former by an innings and 53 runs. The U.C.C.C. men were unfortunate in losing the batting services of one or two of their original team, but Hartland and Mathias were by no means despicable " subs," although the latter failed to give much assistance. For the M.C.C.C. Eeeder, Barringer, Reeves, and Atack, played well for their runs, and in the bowling department, Atack and Turner were the most effective. Row also bowled 'well in the early pnrt of the U.C.C.C. first innings. The fielding was loose generally, but good at times. Palairet at mid-off fielded splendidly all through, and saved no end of runs. Atack got four wickets with four successive balls, and Austin's catch at cover point, which got rid of W. Cotterill in the second innings, was one of the best ever made on the ground. On the U.C.C.C. side Milton 37 and 3, W. Cotterill 37 and 2, Dawe 5 and 11, and Hartland not out 10 and 4, were the only batsmen who gave much trouble. Peter, Parkerson, and Cuff each bowled alternately, well and indifferently, and the all round fielding was by means up to the usual U.C.C.C. mark. The following is the full score: —
