LANCASTER PARK v MIDLAND. - ( An interesting afternoon's play was wit-- , nassed in this match on Saturday, when _ j the Lancastrians further increased their \ j advantage over the Mrdlanders. The wea- ; ; ther was all that- could be desired, and tbe [ wicket was in first-class order for batting, j, There was a fair attendance of onlookers, j; and tbe afternoon tea dispensed by - Mrs ; Wilding was well patronised!. The Lancastrians' innings was resumed by the not outs —Callaway.43 a_d Wilding"2l, two wickets being down..for 80. The total was taken to 167 before Wilding was out 1 b.w. after giving _ first-class display of batting. A. Ridley and BoxsHalf both left at 183, but Howell hit up 16 before he was caught. Six for 220. At _39 Callaway's I fine innings came to a close, as he was well caujpt at extra forward cover off a bard drive. The retiring batsman's runs had been made in his style, his offdriving and cutting being as graceful as they were forceful, whilst his play all round the wicket was soundness iteelf. Included in his soore were seventeen. 4's, some of them got by tremendous hits. After his departure North played a good innings of 38, and with doable figures fronr Barrett and Cant the total was 300 when tha last wicket fell. Lawrence, -was the best of the Midland bowlers, whilst the fielding was good. With nearly an hour to bat, the Midlancktrs went in a second time, but with the score at 16 Callaway performed the "bat trick" by taking three wickets with consecutive balls. Mansell was clean-bowled with a. good one. Barry, juri., lifted his first ball into mid-on's bands, and a fast straight one sent Strange back. Callaway's feat was loudly applauded, and his comrades at once subscribed their shilling each to buy him the traditional headwear. Lawrence and Barry, sen., then playe-d sound cricket, and carried the score "to 66 before time was called. Messrs Brinsden and Sutcliffe were the umpires.
