CRICKET.
ALL ENGLAND V. NEW SOUTH WALES. The All England team have won their second match, tiiouga not without a good fight. The Sydney men got tiiein all out in the second innings fortue small total of 106, which left tue Cornstalks only 147 to get to win, a by no means impossible task. But this team of »11 country cricketers is teaching the Colonials a lesson they sadly want driving into ifiem, winch is that cricket does not consist in batting alone. (Our Auckland boys might take the hiut aud go in a little more for systematic fielding and bowling.) lh: first part of the New South Welshmen s innings was re-assuriug to their friends, for they had put together 10 > for the loss of only eight wickets. Slight odds were taken freely that they won, but the English trundling was too good, and au addition of 23 saw the last hope of Sydney laid low. The English team won by 23, the grand totals being : —New South Wales: Ist innings, 81; 2nd innings, 123 : total, 294. Ail England: Ist innings, 121 ; 2nd innings, 10 i: total, 227. Spofforth, Coates, and Evans appear to have played best for the Australians.
