CRICKET.

* > THE ALL-ENGLAND MATCH. After two such disappointments aB Friday and Saturday, it was very cheering to see this morning a fine sunny sky, and the public began at last to hope that they would be able to see the long-wished for matoh. The Lancaster Park ground was in very good order, notwithstanding the heavy rain, and an excellent wioket was secured. By 11.30 there was hardly a oloud in the sky, and although there was, perhaps, a little too much wind, the day was altogether a good cricketing day. The public began to muster early, and streams of sight-seers were wending their way eastwards some time before the appointed hour for pitohing the wiokets. Although 11.30 was the time fixed od, it was not till nearly twelve that the game was started, there being always an unavoidable delay in getting a big match under weigh. The All-England captain won the toss and elected to go to tho wickets, and sent in TJlyett and Barlow. Fuller delivered the first over. Fowko was at the wickets, Wilding point, Leach cover-point, Chapman mid-off, Watson long-stop, Fairhurst third man, Reeves, William Cotterill and Atack in the long-field, Millton long-leg, B. Ootterill deep square-leg, E. Fowler close mid-on, J. Fowler short-leg, Kdser mid on, Strange fine leg, Longden fine long-on. In the first over TJlyett made a two to the on off the third ball. Ashby then took the ball, and the last of th« over Barlow snicked a single to short leg. In Fuller's next over a single resulted to the credit of Barlow.
