"MUF" F CRICKET MATCH AT GREYTOWN.

my fbople bcoasion- of a mstoh-betweeri,: eleven "muffs" from eaohiide of the street. At 1.30 p.m. the players assembled at the rP6Bt'OlopaehTha\inßßomodistiD|!uwh?-' .ing badge, such aB a stump, hat,; or leg guard, and raarohed two deep, headed by the privatei brass"^bahdptp^ihFgtqund,'; where a large concourse. bfipeople:.hadassembled to see the fun. The ground looked quite a picture, with toots, buntv , ing, M-i and the number of people who wore' Spattered over the ground in groups. Seats' had been provided for theiladieSf a: goodly■ iuiubfu'ioi wkfiiii'iwere present) ' The teams proceeded to elect, their captains; Mr D. P. Player baing 'eleo'tSd' for west side, and ;MrS,:Haigh for east side. The latter, having won the ton, elected to go-iu first. A fair start Iras' made,Atid42ffereecored;thebbwlingbeing all under-arm. West Bide next essayed, and only scored 32, 10 behind their opponents! Hhe ; second..S innings -the former again made top score with 54, the other side doing a little better than their first inniijgsi making i% or'22'behind their opponents altogother;' The : exoitament was something,jritense t .when a wicket fell, or when someone! mulled a catch, which was frequeut, The running, between the, wickets was also, grand, as, for iustaogeiiorie player would hit the ball!, and run the full wicket, but his mate would not stir, and he. woull havo to run baok to iave his own wiokefc. The bowling, though slow, was very "'straight, and too good for big scores, although Loasby, Haigh, P. Maxton, and Dookery for east side, and Krahagan, Lewis, and fuller for west side, struck out pretty 'freely for their scores. It was remarked that' the fgame seemed tpjbe played jn too earnest ' 'a' spirit, but' the chaff of the outsiders' at the players' expense kept tho game a lively oiie, and was'enjoyed by'all present. 1 Some of. those: ongaged: in the, game shewed 'dp very, well for. novices, .and would de well well to join the Club,' and, with a little practice, would make good cricketers. Taken altogether, it: wasamost' enjoyable match. It, perhaps, » unnecessary to atate-that it did not last as long as some had anticipated, namely, till Saturday, Appended are the scores:—. ■'.'■■ :: ■-■ ' ;:
