CRICKET.

HIGH SCHOOL V. TOWN TEAM. A very enjoyable game of cricket was played on the High School ground on Thursday, when the school team scored a victory over a fairly strong town team by six runs. Tho ground was in fine order, the outfield, being particularly good. High School, captained by Monteath, went first to the wickets, and scored 128, thanks mainly to a fine innings by M'Murray, who went in first and was undefeated at the finish with 59. For tho town team Hascll (43) and Nicoll (30) did tho bulk of the scoring, though Fairfarother (16) irtade a gallant effort to snatch tho match out of the fire. Tho bowling honours of the day went to Heskett and D. Hughes. Detailed scores;— HIGH SCHOOL. M'Murray, not out 59 Monteath, c. Goss, h. Bain ......... 3 Mi’. ■ Bottrill. 1.b.w., b.
