CRICKET.

This match was p l ayed on Thursday era theZmgar. grounl, and the grand detira to iee the ZOO vanquished by a local team w.s Tery ne»rly giatifled, at owing to some very indifferent cricket on the cart of the Black and Whites, the finish was much finer than it should hare been. I did not see Tery much to notice in the play all round, but some good butting was done for the amalgamated teams by McLean, who mode 9 and 17 in a careful good style, giving yery few chanoei ; and fJond and Soper together in the iecond innings just came when wanted and made a good stand, both playing well. N R Lox s 10 were well got, and Lublin's 8 Tery steadily. None of the other, did much. 1,, tho bowling, Lublin did well in the first innings, but did not come off at all in the lecond, and Taylor was just the opposite. McLean bowled well tomi^i th l finiBh - For Zingari, B Whitaker 22, and A E Cox 16^ in the first, and * Pilling 16 (not Out), in tha second innings, did well, none of the others playing up to their usual form. A JiLox secured 5 wickets in the firtt and 7 in the second, for 54 runs, which wai the best bowling analysis, he frhflz bowled 195 balls Lublin comes next £,h 6 wickets, 27 runs, 130 balls. The Zmgari placed E Whitaker a. substitute for W Hunt, and the United had P Bond a« substitute for lome one else, and both these players did well for their aides.
