LINWOOD v. ST. ALBANS. This game was in an interesting stage St. Albans requiring three, runs for »*»»»- nings lead with the last two men-Sandman and Hickmott-in. The latter soon put the issue beyond doubt, and the partnership added 75, quite settling any chance Linwood may have had of recovering their position in the second innings.
