SENIOR CUP MATCHES.

L.P.G. EIFTEBNt ADDINGTON ELEVEN. The weather on Saturday was simply perfect, and cricketers looked forward to playing their game with everything ia Cheir favor as far as the day was concerned. This match, which at the conclusion of the previous Saturday's play was decidedly in favor of the Fifteen, advanced another stage, and although the Addingtonians had some bad lock, still the Lancastrians more than held the advantage they had obtained on the first day's play. On the previous Saturday the Park Bad made 192, while the suburban Club had lost three wickets for Iβ runs. Notwithstanding that the wicket was all in favor of the batsmen, and the bowling of the Fifteen on the whole weak, btiil the A.C.C. did not seem- to make as much of their advantages as they might have done. Their first innings dosed for 126, or 60 runs behind their opponents' first attempt. The batsmen who did yeoman service for Addington were undoubtedly Turner and Stevens; tbe former is Indeed to be congratulated for his sterling innings of 43. At the outset this batman played * most careful and patient innings, but as six wickets had fallen for 60 rune, he immediately commenced to make play, and hit out so vigorously that it was mainly due to his generalship that the follow-on was averted. He was ably supported by Stevens, who totalled 28 before he was boyled by Cant. This bateroan, who had partnered Turner, merely satisfied himeefi by keeping his wicket up, but having once lost his partner, played hard on to the ball, and totted up his score very quickly* H. Ogier, who was shaping very well, ran himself out in the most stupid manner, and at a time when his side could ill afford it. The Park Fifteen, after the usual interval, started their second innings, and at call of time had amassed 145 for the loss of five wickets. Of this number Wallis (55) and North (not out, 48) were the principal contributors. Both batsmen gave a couple of chances early in their innings, -but afterwards nestled down, and played really good cricket. Appended are the scores;—
