CRICKET.

o The H.M.S. Basilisk being in the harbour, advantage was taken of the opportunity of playing a game with an eleven of the officers and crew. A very strong eleven was selected to play against the visiting team. ; and, as will be seen from the scores below, the U.C.C.C. were victorious. The visitors had a very faneleven, but, owing to the want of practice, they did not do so well as they would otherwise have done ; nevertheless, some of their eleven played very well. The U.C.C.C. were first to take the field, and succeeded in disposing of their opponents for 52 runs. Messrs Werry, Vivian, and Smith obtained double figures. After luncheon the Basilisk eleven took the field, . but . were not so successful as their opponents, as, at the fall of the last wicket, the U.C.C.C. had put together a total of . 98, Messrs Walker, Reade and Williams getting most of the runs for their side. The following are the scores : — : H.M.3. BASILISK.
