CRICKET.

The lonjj-delayed match between Nelson ai.d Wakefield was played on Wednesday, or rniher pas only partially played, for there was not time to finish it. The Nelson tt na: wus the lirst to go to the wickets, nnd by dint of careful play, they contrived, even ..gainst tbe smart fielding of their opponents, to run up a score of 83,' aud wiih this ihey felt pretty certain of winning on the firat iuuingß, but what with extras, and the admirable baiting of Powell and P. -Hon, they were unable to dispose of the cuun ii y men until 91 runs had been set down to tiioto. Wheu six of the Wokefield men were out. -and. after raos

of the runs had been obtained, Biundell was put on to bowl, and io five overs he contrived to take four wickets, and the general opinion was that had the change ■\ been effected sooner the result would have been different. By the time the Nelson second innings was brought to an end the time had arrived for drawing the stump 3, and the game was consequently decided by the firat innings, and thua (he Wakefield : men were entitled to claim another victory.
