Cricket Match.

In the third match this season between the Arrow and Queenstown cricket clubs on Wednesday last, it will be seen that our Arrow visitors were again unsuccessful, Capt. Woodhead admitted that the bowling of his team had been mastered. This is due to good play. Mehaffey never played in better form, though his hands and legs were often punished by the ball. Anderson, in both innings, played a plucky, steady game. Although he only scored two runs in the second innings, he kept his wicket for some time, and materially helped to kill the bowiing and to obtain many runs for Mehaffey. Boyne's score was obtained by slogging play, hut his effective bowling redeemed this fault. It tells its own tale, (iavin, who was singularly unfortunate in the first innings, was more successful in the second one, and he played carefully. Bevin (captain) was some way or another unlucky or out of form, ('ihb did an awful lot of running for his seven, but the rather loose fielding of the Arrow team was in favor of himself and Mehaffey. So much for the Queenstown men.

Whether it was judicious, after lunch, to send in again the Queenstown men is a matter for discussion. The Arrow team, however, stuck to llule 4G, although, if desirous so to do, they would have been allowed to follow their innings. However, they selected the other course. The result, however, did not mend matters, for when the stumps were drawn (by mutual consent at 5.10 p.m. instead of fi o'clock), only four wickets had fallen for G9 runs. M'Skinning, it will he seen, bowled the greatest number of halls. Blight bowled well, and his balls, heing mostly direct on the wickets, prevented much scoring. The small number of byes (on l>oth siflcs, in fact) shows how steaily was the bowling, hut the fates were against our visitors. The weather, which had been wet and stormy, ceased on Wednesday, and although the sky was overcast it was grand cricketing weather, and attracted a large number of ladies and others on the ground. The lunch at Kichardt's Hotel again commanded warm approval for its excellence and the style in which it was laid out. The soup, viands and dessert were more than could be looked for. The hostess' name was drunk, by general consent, with three cheers. Mr J. O'Meara gracefully res|>onded. The other toasts were of the usual cricketing character and briefly given, as the record was limited to a one day's innings, wickets to be drawn at G p.m. The umpires were Messrs W. Warren (Queenstown) and T. Baker (Arrowtown). The scorers were Mr H. Matulers, Queenstown, and Mr lllingsworth. who represented the Arrow club. A mistake was made just after the close of play in calling out the score of the second innings of Queenstown as 82. The numbers—as may be seen by comparison of the analysis in the scoring bookshould be and is corrected to ~'l. Below are details ot the match
