Great Single Wicket Match at Cricket.

—lt is stated upon good authority that a great single- wicket match has been arranged between six players of New South Wales and Victoria. Something of the kind was mentioned during the late intercolonial contest, and arose probably in the high spirit of rivalry which finds vent at these annnal meetings. So far has the arrangement .progressed that we believe the parties are name and the time appointed for the event. The players of Yictoria are to be Wills, Costick, and Conway, all well known in Sydney as among the best players of the sister colony. The men who are to meet them are the three Gregorys—Edward, David, and Charles—whose proficiency is still more within our knowledge. The latter are thoroughly identified with the colony, have been tried in many first-class matches, and the only point necessary to make them representative players would be their appointment by some authorised committee. If any doubt could exist as to the dona fides with which each side is-to play, it has been anticipated by a condition that there shall be no betting by any of the players, and none of them are to have any money interest on the event. It is said that such a condition was imposed by the Albert Company, upon whose ground the match is to be played. The date is fixed for the Bth and 10th of April, the latter day being Eaeter Monday.
