(Satubday Concluded.)

Tub early hour at which wo went to press on Saturday, prevented ns from describing the game after lunch. When the adjournment for lunch was made, the scorn stood at 64 for the loss of one wicket, Barton not out, having 36 runs to his credit, and Arneil, also not out, 20. The match having been rosumed, scoring became much more rapid than it had been. Both Arneil and Barton got successlre singles from oats, drives and leg hits, while Arneil placed F. Bayley prettily in the slips for lour. Parrington reltieved G. Bayley as bowler, but without producing any material change.' Kuus still came rapidly, and Barton excited load applause by cutting the new man out of bounds for four. The century went up; amidst cheers, and the score still increasing Mathcon was substituted for Parrington,; Buns came more slowly, aud with the score at 120, Arneil was clean bowled by Matheson. His score of 48 was obtained' by/pood, steady, all-round play, his cutting especially being much admired. Yatea followed, and having assisted Barton to run five for a splendid leg hit, was caught in the slips by Parrington, off F. Bsyley. O'Brien followed, and once again runs came rapidly, until Barton's career was cut short by a difficult ball from Matheson: 4—74-141. ifarton'a play showed conclusively that he had lost none of the finished style which distinguished his batting in the South, and which hs,s won for him the reputation of being the best batsman in the colopy. Testro joined O'Brien, and put ore of his first balls from F, Bayloy to leg for four; while O'Brien, not to be outdone, j got the same bowler bea.utifu.lly tolong-legfor hre. Runscamesteadily.TestroscoriDgmore rapidly than Is his wonr, and eventually falling a victim to his departure from stonewalling tactics. F, Bayley took his wicket with a slow, which Teitro made up his mind to. "slog," but didn't—s—l7—l7B. bobinsonwas the next man, and having obtained two from a neatly placed one in the slips, he put the next up over the wicket-keeper's head, and it was held by the long stop.—6-2—lßl. Gardner followed, and scored rapidly, getting 12 in four hits, when ho was clean bowled by F. Bayley. Kidcliford had relieved Matheson in the previous over, — 7— 12 —198. Lankham filled the vacancy, and the score reached 200 amidst further applause. O'Brien, who had played a really stylish innings for 33, Boon afterwards " lost the number of his mess " in attempting to get more runs than had been earned—B—33—2os. Qill joined Lankham, and the two tiundlers proceeded to pun|sh tho oppostion fowling, They ran the score up to 229, when Lankham, who had played a very good innings for 20, was caught at leg by Foley oil Matheson— 9—20—229. Buqkland, who has lately shewn some batting form, was the last man, He also commenced to score quickly, but apparently too qulc'tly, Gill with a good sco>e of 14 being run out, and Buckland, parrying his bat for 5, The jnnjngs thus plospd for 241, Tjie wicket having been rolled, Partipgkm aria Beregford went in. for x«»n,aKi, "and whod timo was called had put together 5 for the loss of no wickets, Lankham bowled five maiden!>, no runs being made off him,
