CRICKET.

The first of the series of cup matches commenced on Saturday by the Lancaster Park Club facing the Addingtor. Club on the ground of the former, and the D.O.C.C.playing the Midland Club on the Hagley Parfc'ground. Tho weather was very fine, except that towards evening the usual cold easterly wind rendered fielding rother a trial, U. 0.0.0. T MIDLAND. The former club lost the toss, and went into the field, Chapman and Boss with the ball. Buchanan and Haskell handled tbs willow, and made things rather lively to start x-lth, both of them playing a good free game, Buchanan especially making soma very goad hits. When 29 had been scored, Chapman, who wee hardly in his usual form, vat tskec off, and Ashby being put on, found his vay into Haskell’s wicket when only four mow had been made. One wicket down for 33 Ashby also bowled Watson and Strange, bolt* of whom played well for 21 and 17 respectively, and Buchanan was given entkg before when he had put together 32, quite the innings of the day. Fowie and Earner now found themselves together, and the latter, who plays a very careful game, was finally disposed of by Boss for 11. Ashby had before this, unfortunately for the U.C.0.0., been obliged to go away, which made a great difference to fcis side, as it was undoubtedly one of his day* out. Fosko and Philpot were now facing each other, and the game grew somewhat slow, b fch playing with great caution. Several buwiera were tried, with no success, and things began to look blue for the IT. 0.0.0., fer olthough runs were not coming fast, they were mounting up in a sufficiently disagreeable manner. At last the U. 0.0.0. deliverer appeared in the person of Longden, off whom both Fosrke and Philpot were caught, Fenwick securing both behind the wicket. They made respectively 28 and 33, Tho remaining wickets fell rapidly, Washer alone making a stand with 13 not out. The innings closed for a total for the Midland of 178. With about a quarter of an hour to drawing time the TJ.0.0.0. took the wicket, Milton and Higgins facing the bowling of Fuller and Baines. When time was called 13 runs had been put together with the loss of no wickets. The game will be continued next Saturday. The full scare will be given at the conclusion of the match.

Ollivier ran up 22 and Dunlop 28, the latter being bowled off his pads. After a lull, Pocock put together a well made 38, including a leg hit for 7 and several other severe raps.
