MARTON. £ The Kimbolton and Mai ton Clubs wound up the season by the first match between their teams on Easter Monday on the Marton ground. The visitors left their homes early and caught the 8 a.m. train from Feilding. They left Marton by the 7 p.m. train and could not arrive at Kimbolton till quite 11 o'clock, which made a very long day for the sake of a game of cricket, and shows an enthusiasm that cannot bo too greatly admired When they arrived on the ground the appearance of so many veterans among them made the home team apprehensive of the resu’t. But the visitors did not unfortunately turn out so strongly in bowling as they ought to have done and so suffered defeat. They batted first, but the wicket was sticky and the outfield slow, or doubtless their score would have been much larger. Still the bowling of both Hawke and Arkwright was too good, and the fielding of the Marton team was also especially considering the slow and wet state of the outfield, very fair. On the Marton men going" to the wickets it was before long obvious that the bowling at the visitors disposal was not quite good enough, and not nearly good enough for J. H. Miles, who played an excellent almost chanceless innings for 89, It was hoped by his team that he would have reached the 100, but thoughtlessly leaving his ground, his wicket was put down by the bowler, and so he did not, this time, attain to the coveted distinction. Perhaps the home captain might have declared the innings closed at the fall of Miles’ wicket, but he was probably thinking of three or four members of his team, who have not this season had much opportunity for batting, and so kept on. Thus was 3eft little more than an hour for the visitors second venture. They started well and one for 35 looked promising, but the amazing bowling of Miles —5 wickets for 10 runs—and Hawkes’ 3 for nothing, made a great alteration. It is in no disparagement of this bowling when it is suggested that the failing light towards 5 o’clock, whenfthe stumps were drawn, made batting for the visitors much more difficult. However it was a very pleasant clay’s cricket, and it is not too much to prophesy that the remembrance of it will draw together teams from the Kimbolton and Marton Clubs perhaps on more than one occasion nest year.
