CRICKET.

The return match, Ewebum v. Naseby,. was played in the Recreation Ground, STaseby, ou Saturday last. A good deal of interest was taken iu the ma,tcb, there being a number of onlooker*, including ladies. Mr Sams captained the Ewebum team, and Mr M'H'utohcson performed a similar duty for Naseby. Eweburn won' the toss, and sent their opponents to the wickets. They succeeded in puttiug 81 together, those reaching double figures being Mathias, 20 ; Blair 12 ; and Worsop, 11. Eweburn's first innings resulted in 53 runs, of which Sharpe contributed 35 (not out) by good free play. Naseby again went to the wickets, and put together 120. Those making double figures were—Ash, 24 ; Garvey, 15 ; Mathias, 28 ; and Woiaop, 16. By 'the time that this ininngs was concluded there was only about half an hour to elapse before the stumps were to be drawn. Ewebum, however, went to the wickets asain.'scoring 8 by 7 o'clock, of which Sharpe made 5, not out. Tv'aseby thus won the match on tbe first innings by 28 runs. Refreshment was provided at 1.30 and 7 p.m. iu Pmder's Empire Hotel, the fiesident, the llev. H. J. Davis, in the Chair. At the luaeh (which was very creditable to the host) the captains of the teams mode a few remarks. Mr M 'Hntcheson proposed the health of the visitors, and said that the aJwebum team deserved praise for undertaking there matches. Considering the specially hard nature of their work, he held they played remarkably well, and with good spirit. These small matches were of infinite benefit to tbe cause of cricket. The toast was received with enthusiasm, and was accorded musical honors. Mr Sams, in replying, expressed his thanks. As Mr .Yi'Uutcheson had said, their team was very busily employed just now, and it could hardlybe expected that they would be as lively as if tliey were engaged in offices all day. _ It was unusual to have cricket at the stations at shea ring time, but he thought it was a good thing. He thought it ouly right to express, ou behalf of himself and his men, his sense of the kindness of tho directors in aiding these matches. Had they objected, the matches could not have taken place. (Applause.) He might say by the way, that tbe men had worked extremely hard, and deserved their holiday. He once more thanked Mr M 'tlutcheson for the manner in which they had been received, and concluded by proposing the health of the Naseby team, which was treated in the orthodox fashion. Mr Newman umpired at one end the whole day, and Mr Macintosh, being unable to play, officiated at the other end during the afternoon. Both gentlemen gave complete satisfaction in the performance of their difficult dutie". Mr S. Inder kindly scored, Appended are details of the play:— NASEBY.
