CRICKET.

LABOASTBE PABK v. OABIBBEOOK 0.0. This match came to an end on Saturday, and a very exciting conclusion is was. After the first innings of the local team had finished for 138, Oarisbrook again tried their luck with the bat. The weather was much pleasanter than on Friday, and the wicket that the score of the visitors was even smaller than before, though the batting, as far as it went, was good enough, Messrs Bose, Oollinson, and Morrison all playing sound cricket. With but 86 to get, the Lanoastrilhß felt at half-past three very much like winning indeed; but never was that glorious uncertainty which makes cricket the most fascinating of games more fairly exemplified. Mr Ataok led off with a 4 and a single, which brought him opposite to the elder Fitzgerald, who, os in the former innings, at once dismissed him with a break-back. An appeal by the short-stop wont against Mr Stevens, but the third wicket, thanks to Mr Loughnan’s hitting, did not fall until 29 had been reached. Of the next 38 rune, 29 wore credited to Mr Beeves,- and during hie stay at the wickets the Lancastrian mercury went up at the rate of a degree per run. At 67 came the deluge. Man after man went in only to find the bowling straight, and the fielding smart to a degree. Mr Taylor made a stand, but at the critical moment a splendid catch by Mr Smith in the slips turned the scale. When the last batsmen went in Oarisbrook were still 10 ahead, nor was the total altered when Mr Sale’s middle etump was shot out of the ground. Thus were Oarisbrook again victorious, nnd no one grudged them their gallant win, least of all their opponents, who gave them three rousing cheers at the finish, with “one more for the captain.” Score and analysis CABISBEOOK.

This match was commenced on Saturday on the Association Grounds. Owing to the absence of several of the U. 0.0. players, Ashby played but nine men (and two of those substitutes). There was nothing worthy of note in their play till W. Oottorill joined Horwoodi Ataok at last bowled the latter, who retired for 27. His runs were not got in the best style, but he did his side very good service, Harvey kept his wiokot up well, and allowed Ootterfll to score, the former being eventually caught off a slow one. Gotterill’s 44, not out, was a very good performance indeed. His last run was obtained from the only ohanoe he gave—viz., an easy catch to Fairhurst off Fuller, , which ho as easily dropped. The innings closed for 116 runs, a good pull up considering that 4 wiokets were down for 18. The M. 0,0. were quickly at the wiokets, and, when time wae called had registered 103 for throe wiokets. Philpot and Strange played remarkably well law fKftiw vntis f.h« frtwmov Aanomallv hftinm
