CRICKET.

ENGLAND v. COLONIES. This match was continued on Saturday last, but owing to several of the Colonies' side being absent without informing their captain a long delay was caused in commencing. Aehby and Douglas resumed their places at the wicket, and for some time scored r.ipidly. The former, however, after adding 28 to his previous total, was well caught at mid-off by Cohen. Douglas did not long survive, being caught easily at short-leg. A good catch at long-leg disposed of Stevens. Sheath played steadily for his score, as also did Wilson, who was caught at point for sixteen. Langden was the only other batsman who made double figures, the total at the fall of the last wicket being 157, or 22 behind. The only features of the second innings of the Colonies were the rapid scoring of Turner, who put together his 30 in a wonderfully short space of time, the steady innings of Beeves, and a good catch by Milner with one hand. At the call of time four wickets were down for 87. The match will not be continued. The following is the score : ENGLAND. Ist Innings. H. H. Secretan, 1 b w, b Fuller 27 C. C.

The Christchurch went first to the wickets, and stayed till the score had got to 156. After the fall of the first wicket Washer and Turner played steadily and made a long stand, and towards the end of the innings Caygill and Fisher made another stand. Fairhurst was tbe only bowler who did any execution, Bowe bowling nearly all through the innings for one wicket. The Midland started rather poorly, having four wickets down for 27 runs at the end of the first day's play; but on Saturday, thanks very largely to the absence of the best bowlers from the Christchurch team, they did much better, and succeeded in overlapping the century by 19 when the last wicket fell. Horner's 48 was got by some good hard hitting, and was a very useful contribution. In the second innings the Christchurch were not so successful, only reaching 86. Anson 23, Thomson 13, and Lusk 12, were the only ones to reach double figures. The Midland had thus 124 to get to win, but in the twenty minutes left them they only managed to get 13, and these at a cost of three wickets. The match thus ended in a draw.

The above match was played on Saturday, and resulted in an easy viotory for the Bichmond by one innings and 3 runs. The scores being—Bichmond, first innings, 65 ; Sydenham, first innings, 28; second innings, 34. Broadley, 15 ; Eldridge, 13 ; Cavanagh, 11; and Pursehouse, 10, played well for the former. Chambers, with 12 and 13 runs for the Sydenham, was the only one who reached double figures. The bowling of Eldridge and Fisher for the Bichmond, and Chambers for Sydenham was very effective. BOYAL OAK v. ADDINGTON. A match was played on Saturday at Waltham between the Addington and fioyal Oak Cricket Clubs, resulting in a victory for the latter by 17 runs on the first innings. The Boyal Oak went first to the wickets, and made 67, Braithwaite 14, Forsyth 14, and J. Comer 10, being chief contributors. The Addington only made 50, N. Lyons 28, being top scorer. The same player bowled remarkably well for his side, and but for him the eleven would have stood a very poor •how.
