CRICKET.

Much disappointment was experienced on Wednesday last at the ground ai the buck of All Sainta' Church, Poß.sonby lioad (which presented a guy appearance, decorated with the flags of the Auckland Cricket Clubs), from tho non-attendance of rnanj players who had promised to attend. At 11.30 Mi-. Kewby end Mr. T-.iylor selected aides, and a one-inninge match was played, ' which resulted in favour of the former team by 20 runs, Mr. Newby making 45, and carrying hii hat out, Mr. Taylor, on the opposite side, making 23 runs, also not out. A single-wicket match took place during the a-'N»coD3, \fhen eom.i really good play took place aa interesting trial between Mr. Taylor, who throughout the day bowled rennrfcably well, and Mr Newby, who, in apito of all tie (Mr. Taylor'a) really good bowling, kept his wicket for two and a-half hours, scoring 16 runs during the time. Mr. Wade, an old Nottingham bat, made some fine Cute. Wβ were glad to see an old and good cricketer on the ground, who will, we trust, soon again put in an appearance for honours. Mr. Mumford hae been much missed by the A.O.C. A groat number of spectators visited the ground at different times during the day, .and more ladies than are usually seen at a cricket match.
