CRICKET.

?■?*•. IliEliSQti; V. COLLEGE. Oi^ttttday.wheia the above clubs again met an the qollege ground, Nelson succeeded in dismissing their opponents for the email soore of 65, and in scouring a victory by 29 runs. The bowling of the winners was muoh strengthened by the presence of J. T. Harkness and by the recent accession of Richardson, who figured prominently in Nelson orioket some years ago. The wicket too, owing to the recent rains, was not the happy hunting ground of the previous Saturday, and batsmen had to be wary. Nelson's 94 did aot seem, a great score to top, but', with the exception, of C. Broad and Joynt, the Collegians were not at home with the fast bowling, and only 52 runs were .made off the bat. Nelson's Beoond effort was rather feeble. The fielding was remarkable for the absence of butter, but the returns were neither very Btraight nor very quick, Of the fourteen catob.es, Wood wbb oredited with a couple of good ones at point, and Jas. Earkness one at third man ; for the College, Wither at oover got a very difficult one high up, and in the long field M'Quillan and Melhuish gave a good account of anything that came their way.
