CRICKET.

Daily Times u.jtat,

A cricket match was played on Oval on Saturday afternoonJjjtfHHH teams representing newspaper offices, interesting and exciting in a victory for the 52 runs. A number of were presi no, Messrs fonajHHHHH and W. 0, Cargill 011 teams, and Messrs and G. Hansen officiated .<^9HH^HI Oargill won; .t)ie -fcosa;*.- M^SSffl^^Q opponents'to the wicketß, Owing to want of practice a very iodiffur.ent ■ stand was made, the bowling .of Cargill and Gardiner, proving extremely disastrous. Sanderson (7), and W. Hounslow (9), were tho only ones to -score, the others not having time to shake their nervousness off before they: were disposed of. The total reached 21 runs when the last wioket fell. The Star representatives i hen went in, and heavy scoring was expected by. their opponents and the on lookers alike, They were doomed to disappointment, however, for the wickets fell rapidly to the excellent - howling of Owen an 1 Apperly, and the total of 88 only was reached. O'Connor (10) and Nioholson (7) were, the highest, the remaining nine men retiring with the greatest rapidity, and euiall totals. No time was lost, and the Daily Times men again stood up at the wickets, this time with far more confidence in themselves and renewed vigour, Tho first four men made things exceed • ingly merry for the field, and before they were disposed of knocked up 69 runs between them, a very oreditable performance. T. Hounslow, with 25 to his credit, was in. groat form, and had lii. misfortune to be run out when he was treating the onlookers to a fine displiy'of batting. Sanderson (14), Owen;(l2)' and,Nicol (12) were the' next in order, and if only thfljemain;. 7 ing members of the teamdiad followed their example, a big Bcprftyould have been the result. The towl of 79 was reached before the last man retired. Only twenty-five minutes now re- , rnained for the Times to avert a first 1 innings defeat, and considerable ox« citement prevailed. Owen placed his men smartly in the field, and all resolved upon making a determined effort to finish the match in time. The (Star, men took up their stand one after the other and retired quiokly, 1 the fine bowling of Owen prov- ■ ing simply unplayable. ]ptu the , grand record of seven wickets for eight runs the game 'did pot iQok at , all rosy for the Star men, and the i Daily Times team played very deter. 1 minedly, Five minutes to play and 1 three wiokeis to fall. Green and Wilsone got together and made a.. . shortand merry stand, thelattor being , top score with 6 not put. ■' -.\ ■ y VViokete continued to f«H, holfeve"ri >_^T; I and on the stroke of time the last man retired, the score for the eleven men I being runs. Hejkfiy oheers I were exchanged, and the utmost good 1 feeling prevailed, the game proving a 1 most enjoyable one to all conoerned. r The return malob.will bepjayed in a 1 few weeks' time. No less than fourteen -ducW were made by the Star men, and. nine by the Timeb playera, which is not ;at all a bad record. The small lads of the teams played extremely Well, considering the little practice they have bad, ana with coaohing they will blossom forth into good on'cketers.
