CRICKET.
L.C.C. V. THIRTEEN OF GRAMMAR SCHOOL.
The above match was resumed on
Saturday, and resulted in favour of the
school by ten wickets. This result is
chiefly due to the exceedingly good
bowling of the school, and the shocking
bad bowling of the Club. The batting
power of both teams is pretty even, that
of the town team being perhaps slightly
the best; but until they can manage to
develop a bowler with some pretensions
to the title, they will have little chance of
victory with such tough opponents.
Rock and Archer did not add double
figures to their previous scores, and were
dismissed for 28 and 29 respectively.
Oldmeadow decidedly played the best
cricket for his side, his style being very
neat and effective; but he has a slight
tendency to play across a ball on his leg
stump. When he overcomes this defect,
he will be one of the best bate the school
possesses. Palmer also deserves praise,
for he steadily played 16, The less said
about the fielding of the L.C.C. the
better, that of Douglas being the, only
redeeming feature in the team. The
catch by which L. Sams caught Old
meadow off his own bowling also deserves
mention. In the second innings of the
town team M. Martin and L. Sams were
the only two batsmen who made a stand.
The former played excellent cricket for
his 24, and his style as a left-handed
player.is the best we have seen for some
time. Sams also hit hard and well for
22, being particularly warm on the leg
balls. The second innings of the L.C.C.
closed for 73, leaving the school 21 to
win,which Archer and Field soon knocked
off, thus leaving the school winners by 10
wickets.

TEMPERANCE CONFERNOCE.-An inter- but
national temperance conference was com- fror
menced on Tuesday in the Temperance will
Hall, Russell-street, Melbourne, Mr
James Munro, the President of the con- age
ference, occupying the chair. It was
proposed to form an alliance of the A~as

Zealand, to confer from time to time upon
the laws relating to the liquor traffic,ng
with a view of strengthening each other's atn
hands, promoting the great principles
embodied in Sunday closing, the rep
people's veto upon licenses, and To
the ultimate suppression of the
traffic in intoxicating liquors. Eventu- wil
ally the following resolutions were MC
adopted :--" 1. That this conference is of 10
opinion that it is imperative, with the of
view of restraining and ultimately des- are
troying the drink traflic, that an alliance £1.
be established in each of the colonies for in
the purpose of securing the legal enact- 10
ment of local option. 2. That this confe- 10
rence is of opinion that the laws relating as
to Sunday trading ought to be enforced Cui
with reference to the drink traffic." In vol
the evening a public meeting was held, at fol
which addresses were delivered by several £5
delegates from the neighbouring colonies,
Captain W. Fisher, and the Rev. W. 0e3
0. Robinson representing Tasmania. Liz
ANNIvmESAnY.-The twenty-first anni
versary of the Primitive Methodist Sunday thi
school, Frederick-street, was celebrated mi
yesterday in the Mechanics' Institute. wa
Unfortunately the weather in the morning mi
was anything but propitious for such a
gathering, and consequently the atten- al
dance was not so large as on former occa- ma
sions. The Rev. F. Sinden, pastor of the thi
church, preached a most impressive and
appropriate sermon from the words found
in Joshua, 24th chapter 15th verse. It was th
announced that the Rev. W. Gould, of the
Longford, would deliver an address in the pr
afternoon,. but no doubt owing to the c
boisterous state of the weather that
gentleman was unable to put in an appear
ance, and the duty fell upon the Rev. F.
Sinden, who based a few well chosen re- re
marks upon I. Peter, 2nd chapter 9th R.
verse. Later in the day the weather
somewhat cleared up, and thus F
caused the attendance in the even- fri
ing to be exceedingly large, the hall W
being crowded to the doors long
before the time of commencing. The
Rev. F. Sinden again occupied the [n
pulpit, and delivered an interesting and
telling discourse in reference to practical
and home Christianity, the text chosen
being 1st Chronicles xxviii chapter, 9th
verse. At each service the children, who te
were seated on a platform erected on the be
stage, sang a number of selected pieces in to
a manner that evidenced a willingness to tli
do their best, and reflected credit on their di
conductor, Mr F. Symons; while one of
their number, Miss Annie Sorenson, tl
presided at the organ in a very efficient si
manner. The total collections in aid of I
the school funds amounts to over £35. 01
To-day the children's treat and public
picnic is to take place at Glen Dhu pro- r
vided the weather is fine, but should it t
rain, the day's outing will be postponed P
to a future date, due notice of which will n
be given.
CnURnon SoCIETY,-The Ven. Arch- c
deacon Hales and the Rev. C. Vaughan, e
of Campbell Town, who are actively 1
working for this Society, intend holding a
meeting at Fingal to morrow, and at
Avoca on Friday next, in behalf of the
Society.
AcwrxNr To MR BLAOKwELL.-.We
learn from the Mercurry that Mr.
S. Blackwell met with a serious accident
on Tuesday last, on the return . journey
from the Jerusalem races across the
usual track. He was accompanied by
Messrs. W. Brock and Dowling, and i
when less than half way across, riding I
singly, Mr Blackwell being behind, his
horse suddenly passed the others without
its rider. Looking back they saw Mr.
Blackwell lying on the road, sensible,
but unable to rise. They caught the
horse, and got him on, but he was not
able to help himself, so they started with
him to the nearest residence, Mr J.
Salmon's, nearly four miles off, reaching
there late at night. Next day they
brought him in a cart to Melton Mow
bray. Drs. Dixon and Lovett were
telegraphed for, and it is feared
there is injury to the spine. How
the accident happened is a mystery at
present, as Mr Blackwell his not been
able to state anything of the oocurrence.
Poro ConuaT.-Capt. Ditcham occu
ied the Bench on Saturday morning. Two
drunkards, Henry Nichols and Ann Bul
ler were each fined five shillings; and
Mary Ann Salmon, an old offender, was
fined twenty shillings for the same offence.
The usual alternative was given in each
case..

SUPPOSED INFANTICIDEo.-A newly-born
male child has been found near the road,
close to the Studley Park-Bridge. Cullin
wood, Melbourne. The infant, which
was wrapped in an old flannel petticoat,
was found by a man named William Wor
nan. The child appeared to be only a
few hours old. He was taken before the
local court, and remanded pending in
quiries,
THE MELBOURNE DUELLING CASE.
The case of Ernest Speyer, the assideta?
secretary of the German Commission at
the Exhibition, who was arrested on a
charge of challenging Mr Max Hirsch to
fight a duel, came under the notice of
the City Bench recently. At the outset
it was intimated, says the Arpeus, that the
defendant had now no intention of taking
part in a breach of the peace, and was
quite prepared to enter into such recogni
sances as the Bench might direct. On
behalf of Mr Hirsch this settlement of
the affair was accepted as satisfaction, and
defendant was bound over in his own
recognisance of £200 and one surety in
£100 to keep the peace for six months.
A MoNARocIY TAiT Is PERFECTLY Sl T
TLED.-It is wise of the French to cele
brate the fall of the Bastile for precisely
tihe same reason that it is wise of the
English to celebrate the Queen's birthday.
The celebration brings home to allclasses,
in a visible and concrete yet pleasant way,
the regimne under which they live, and the
essential or central peculiarity of that
regime. The monarchy of England is
perfectly settled, and has no converts to
make, nor has any serious party any
alternative to propose to the people in
exchange for it ; and everybody, there
fore, is left to keep or overlook the
Queen's Birthday as he pleases. The
King's day was, however, much more
important in the Jacobite time; and if in
our age there were doubts about tile
stability of the throne, or about the
Queen's title, Parliament would have
been right in making that day the
greatest of statute holidays.-The Spec
tator.
Facur As FooD.-Good health is secu
red by a liberal use of fresh fruit. It
does not give much strength, but contains
acids which refresh and give tone to the
system just when needed. Stale fruit is
not good, but when freshly-gathered and
ripe should be used very liberally during
warm weather.
FALSE IMIPsRESSIe0.-It is generally supposed
by physicians and the people generally that dys
popsia cannot invariably be cured, but we are
pleased to say that Green's August Flower has
never, to our knowledge, failed to cure dyspep
sia and liver complaint in all its forms, such as
sour stomach, costiveness, sick headache, pal
pitation of the heart, indigestion, bad taste in
the mouth, &c. Out of the 50,000 dozen bottles
sold last year, not a single failure was reported,
but thousands of complimentary letters received
from druggists of wonderful cures. Three doses
will relieve any case. Try it. Sample bottles
