CRICKET.

GAIiKISON CRICKET CLDII V. WEST END CIMCKF.T CLUB* 1 A SEATCH between these two elevens was played in _ the Albert Barracks Square yesterday. The weather was in every way suitable for the game, the hot sun ( being agreeablv tempered by a pleasant cooling breeze. °The toss was won by the Garrison, who preferred to send their opponents to the wickets. ( The n,rae opened by -Messrs. Yates and Scotter ( going in to the bowling of Messrs. Alston and Adams which was for the most part well on the wicket, J Tate? placed 10, by two twos and singles, when he ( failed to prevent one of Dr. Alston's from coming in ( contact with his wicket. Scotter added 7 »nd was ] then given out leg before wicket. Gatland succeeded , him and contributed 5. Alpe two drives for ( three, a two, and the remainder in singles, made the largest score on his side, viz., 16, and was then dis- , posed of by Alston. Clifton increased the score by a three, a four, and a two, and two singles, making a total of 13, and wai then bowled by Travers, who had taken'up the bowling at Dr. Alston's end. The ( remainder of the eleven did but little towards the ] grand total, the byes and wides, however, tell a fearful tale, and form upwards of a fourth of it, viz., 20 !! | Tho Garrison then changed places, sending Mr. ( Lambert and Dr. Alston todo duty for them, bowling being entrusted to .Messrs. Scotter and Featherston, ( the latter, howe-er, did much to cause the defeat which we have to chronicle of his eleven by his j evident want of praetico, and the numerous " * ides " which he gave. The largest scores on this side were made bv Clements, Dr. Alston, and Major Eaker, who unitedly contributed 63, of these Clernenta placed 29, by one each four and five, four ( two's, and the re3t in singles. Dr. Alston 20, by two three's, four twu's, six singles. Major Baker 19, by ; four, two three's, one two, and seven singles, the , balance of eight being added by the remainder of the 1 eleven, find the worst cricketer of all, Mr. " Extras, obtaining no less that 23 mirabile dictu. The West End returned to tne wickets and endeavoured to try and turn the scale in their favour, but it was soon prettv evident that the honors of the day were not to be theirs. ate. l , as he usually does, made the highest score for his side, and the only d mble figures, viz. 13, which he obtained by 1 three, 3 tvrcs and i singles, Scotter troubled the scorer to ; add 9,"and was then caught by Travers off Howard. Alpo contributed 6, and the remaining 7 were obtained by those not named, he Byes and Wides marked 7, thus raiiing the grand total to 42, and only 12 more thin their competitors' first innings, the Garrison were therefore declared the victors.
