( f; V - ; . — T-* —— ... ... NOBTH v. SOUTH. This match was continued on Saturday last, the South with SO runs to the bad commencing their second innings. Ollivier and East "were the firsts to face the bowling of ...Dickinson at the upper end, and Souter at 'the lower. 13 runs were scored when East, who had been playing very steadily, was bowled by Dickenson. Pierce was the next man, and began to score very rapidly. He skyed one to long off, bnt the ball was raisin |ndged, and 4 run* were the result. Ollivier now played inside one of Dickenson's, and his middle stump was . displaced —two for 31. Pierce still continued the run-getting, and- 47 was reached, when Fowler put np one to point. Maples and Pierce now got well set, the latter still .hitting Tery freely, but the., former, in at- - tempting a very short run which his partner declined, failed to get back in time—four for *S&. Loughnan, after adding <>ne to the score, was bowled by Corfe, who had for some time been on at the lower end: A very long stand was now made by Barley and Pierce, and lihe ; score had mounted to 102, when the Jatter was secured by the lorigstop. His innings was without doubt the best be has ever played on the ground, and though many of his bits were dangerously high, he exhibited great improvement in both hitting and defence. His forty included one 5, four 4's, one 3, and five 2's, and was remark- ** abie throughout for the brilliancy of his off-hitting. Reade was now bowled by Souter without any addition having been I made to the score, and Turner was almost immediately run out. Hoodj tbe last man, remained long enough to allow Harley to make a few more runs, and was eventually bowled by Souter, who, since he had been the second time, bowled much better • thanusuaL Harley, therefore, brought out his bat for 25, including one 4, two 3's, and ...four2's. He played in much better form '- - S? 11 ÜBnal » aad showed some good defence. The NortJv. Jwtd 99* 32 juae to get to win,

Cot1} taen -Wood, "in hitting round .to one well pitched up to the leg, fell thfslow f the next m_n h inf„n£7 *» , and in thc next over mad « a splendid square leg hit for 4, off Harley. He was however shortly afterwards bowled by a quicker one than usual from Fowler ; two ■+i i : l Stevena was very finely caught in the long-fields by Reader.whowasfiehW as substitute. Mason and Cotterill now made the runs required to win, but it was agreed that for the sake of practice the innings should be played out. Cotterill was shortly afterwards caught at mid-on by Loughnan, a very fine catch, low down. The rest of the wickets fell very quickly, R Mainwaring being the only one who made any show. He got a fine drive for 4 from the slows, and brought out his bat for 9. Ihe following is the full score of the match:— South. a ™ Ut !? x ? iD Z ß ' 2nd Innings. A. M.
