MARTON. V. PALMERSTOJN.

The. Aripu,al Cricket M<rtch s between the v two. clubs came off.lasjt Saturday, on the. Marfcon groundj andjj>isyed r a inpsj; follow - and, one-3fd|aTai^air, one. off the- Marton^ team making mbrr off-' his ownv bsk than all? "the Palmer^ton. put together, including byes, and wides. The fielding ojv both Bides was ■Tery p N oor, the extras, counting 26 for Mar* ton and 1,5. for Palmerstbn. v Weve it not for the spiendidr batting of : Fitzhe»bert and. Fulton, however, the victory would have, been a xery poor, one, .as those*; gentleman made just three times as much as the rest of Vie team ; and consequently isejitingthem aside the actual scores of each ~team f would have. been. — Martqn, 23; Palmerston, 2-L For the latter ciub it may be urged, _ — if any excuse be admissable— that they, not only played with ten men, but three ofthose were picked. up on ijhe road; andVwere.. not members of the Club at all. "Of course, we do nob urge, this m. depreciation of the, victory of- the Martpnians, \yhb have certainly badly beaten: the. best te&hv PalmeratoacauJd. bring, against'ifc, but as showing the "'disgrace, which" has been brought npori the looaiclub by the most culpable aupinoi f ness, of its members. Unquestionably Palmerston Bhould — and we believe is— abla, to muster eleven who could fairly do battle, with any team on the Coast, but tp, do so,, both practice and punctuality are. necessary. Such proceedings afe had to be adopted by the Secretary to, bring togother.it sufficient, number to keep faith with the engagements of the * Club, is. simply ,, disgraf ef ulj , and» . should warrant him. m calling a geEeralraeeting to lay the. matter. bje,fpr& the sub-, scribers. At any time there .is; sonic difi-^ culty m picking an eleven from .tne olaye?s, but when at the last moment six. only come,, to the scratch, it is high time the Palmer-^ stou. Cricket Club, was a thing 'oi the past. PAIMEBSTOIf— TIBST' T ISXXSBta. Parker, b . Fulton „ . Q Boyle, c. and- b. M^cahall ... 1 Lloyd, b,, Smith ■" ... ... ...
