Jupp i 3 also left behind, and the Englishmen have only their exact number./ . Everyone were loud in their praise of the cure taken to get the ground in aa gpod condition as possible, and one of the English Eleven remarked that it was better than the. usual runs of grounds : on which they had hitherto, played; ; At noon sharp, Robinson and Lillywhite tossed for choice;, Robinson winning, he elected to take the field.'

The' cricket match was continued from 5-30 yesterday, and after scoring 65 Charlwood's career closed, Mackay getting him with an easy catch at long "field.
