The above Match between an eleven of the Welkagtow Cricket Club (not their strongest) ■■4 Oieytown C.C., look place in Steward's paddnek, Grsylown, on Friday, commencing at 9SO and readied in an easy victory for the hone team in one innings and 55 runs, dne to the really ezeellent bowling of Judd and Rutherford who were dead ou the wicket. Hawke (tkaOieytow captain) having won the lose eenl the visitors to the wickets first, but the bowling of Rutherford and Jndd was too •nod for them, they being disposed of for the ■mall tears of 18 rani. Jndd taking 6 wickets te 10 rana, Balberford 4 for 7 ; none of the team reaching double, fignrea. the highest Motor being Koch 8, six of the others mating a daek's egg. Greytown then took the willow, and tan op the fine score of 106 rone, Nation 16, Henry 18. W. Judd a very fine not out ia rungs (or 41 (giving only one chance, and Day 11, being doable figure men. Webb was lha moat soceaaafnl bowler of tb« five who trundled for Wellington, taking 6 wickets. At tbs conclusion of tbs Greytown innings the two teams were driven to Mr Jones' Funsters' Arms, in two brakes to partake of a really excellent lunch, after which they were again driven to the ground to tiuiah the match. With runs to the bad, Wellington started their second innings, * ut the bowling (Jodd and Batherford bowled through both innings) was too much for them, Bums being the only one who got into doable figures (a nicely played 13), Buckie coming next with 6, five of the others scoring nil, the innings closing for 33, leaving the home team winners by an inning* and do runs; Rutherford 4 wiekala (or 13 rana, W. Jndd t for 12. The fielding of Gtsytown was excellent (the little they bed to do), bat tbs visitors were rather loose in this branch, poambly their not being used to tb* ground would make no email difference. With the exception of Webb (fast) their bowler* were medium pace, but Greylown’a was vary fast. The wicket was very fair at the atari, hat towards the latter part of the game Immm. rather hard. The Greytown Private Baad played daring the day nudet the leadership of Mr Tarnham, and assisted in "i.kmg the day pass pleasantly to the 160 onlookers, a goodly number of whom wan ladies, for whom seals had been provided. We moat not forget Hawke's ahortatopping, which was first elaae, (only (oar byes daring the gams). Messrs tioLiard and Tolly aspired and Ur Lacans scored. If there were a refreshment booth oo the ground daring the progress of matches, the keeper would be no , lower. Psrhape some one may take up the suggestion. One improvement was the erection of an awning for the teams, kindly lent by Hr Venneil. At the oonclnsion of the match, which was finished at 2 30, the Greytown man played an extra innings to allow tb* visitors to have a little fielding, the bowin'* being alow nearly ail the time. At the fall of tb* last wicket the total of 143 appeared, Judd 53, and l off 38, being highest acorsrs. Mr Barnes captained the visitors, wbo left for home bv the evening,train.
