NORTH Y. SbUIH, ” The above match was commenced on Saturday, but owing to the English mail going out, h the game was not begun until 3 p.m. The North was first to bat, and succeeded . ( in putting together a respectable score of 153. . Secretan and J. Fowler were first to represent . them, but the latter, after placing 10 to his a credit, was easily caught by Allen at point. Ashby was not in good form, but Secretan, a although hitting rather high, scored freely from both bowlers. At last Ashby lifted one £ from Turner, but Ross made a good catch. , Alpe failed to score, and soon afterwards Secretan fell to a straight ball from Neilson, _ which was rather faster than usual. His a score of 59 contained many good hits, but he was let off on three occasions, twice when ho had made 36. Watson and O. Frith kept the field moving, and it was not until the former bat ran up 30 that he was bowled by Turner off his leg. His score comprised a good square leg hit for 5, a 4, three 3’s, &c. Frith continued to score, but after making a fine leg hit for 5, was bowled by Hartland. Boss was the only other player who reached double j figures, being not out for a carefully played 11, It was nearly six o’clock before the j South commenced their innings, when the light was bad. Neilson was badly run out, and three other wickets quickly fell, when time was called. The following is the score: — ] North. First Innings. H. H. Secretan, b Neilson ... ••• 59 J.
