JO7 By the above score it will be found that the Milton Club had 95 runs to be even with the Wakefield in their second in nings. Tbe Milton put in their best men, who made a score of 64 runs, with three wickets to go down, which left 31 runs to be fetched. The last man having been stumped nut, and given out by the umpire, the Milton Club became exasperated at finding themselves so closely pushed. They called their men from the wickets, and so forfeited the match, and said they would give the Wakefield Club the supper; but when the Wakefield players saw this they refused it, unless the game should have been finished. And unless the Milt-m Club »ive a sufficieut apology for calling their men from the wickets, ilie W,ikt-fieid Club wiil reiuse any challenge given by them in future. H. Boddington, Sec. W. C. C, On behalf of the Wakefield players.
