CRICKET MATCH AT CAMBRIDGE.

Aemed Constabulary versus Civillians This match was played on Saturday last at the Government Paddocks, and was unanimously acknowledged to be the best match yet played at Cambridge. The batting and fielding on both sides .vere very fair but the bowling of the A.C. Eleven was very we»k. The following are the scores : ARMED CONSTABULARY. Connell (lbw), b Jones - - 11 Garland, EL, b Jones - - 4 Blake, J., c Clemming,'b Jones - 0 Steel, J., b Jones 0 Chitty, C., c Clemming, b Jones - 3 Willoughby, W., b Clare - 16 Young, R., b Clare - 8 Gordon, H., b Clare - - 0 Conroy, R., hw, b Jones - 5 Watt, J., not out - - 13 Shanaghan, b Jones - - 6 Extras- - - 11 Total - - -77 CIVILIANS.

Had however, the best bowler on the A.C. side shown up, the result might have been different. It is to be hoped that, although cricketing has been dead in Cambridge during the middle of the season, it may end with a little vitality. On Saturday next, a match will be played married versus single. Names of playors will be published in Thursday's issue of the Times,
