THE Cricket Malob fa over, »nd may be seen I
subjoined seora, won by tba New South Wales Bil
bat not so aatislsotorily won as if it bsd been cont
tbroagbont with the sims eordisl spirll
it was oommenoed io, and aa if the
[complement ~ of Yiototiaa playera had 'gone
tba wickets. - Owing to the disagreement
Friday, to whioh we need not again partloulsrly ad
although whioh we understood had been astiafaot
arranged the same eveniog, Marshall and Qreavoi
pressed their determination not to play in tbe mat:
Saturday, and to the regret and surpriao of all :
thinking persons, anted on that, we think, hastily foi
determination. We have no wish to osnsure thoae
tlemen in their ebaenoe, but oertainly think that
were bound in honour, their oaptaln haring agra«
allow tba match to go on, to play the game ont.
Some misapprehension appears to exist in the elt;
the aobjeot of beta; many.persons are nuder the im]
sion that beoauae the game ia not played out aa
matoh w»s made, that is'to nay that tba two eleven«
not eaob finish tbeir hands, therefore, tbe game waa
definitely and deolaively Battled. Snoh ia, boweve
mistake, the game is as fairly and aatisfaotorily pli
out and won BB «bongb each individual had gone ii
bis eeoond innings, and as though no dispute had ari
All betamuBt, therefore, be paid, for the role wi

Betting) Bays " No bet upon any matoh
payable: 'onlesB "it be 1 played out, ot gi

where the matoh ia played out or given np. The ml

better rae gone ont, oall for another man to be sent i
tbn field, and tbat if another ba not aent in, the mi
shall be eonaidered as played ont or, what ia equival
given np. The umpires, in thia oaae, gave the ri qui
time, and no other player being forthcoming, the £
South'Wales men were of course declared victors.
The weather on Saturday was extremely, f aroora
a little too warm, over particular people might say,
very pleasant. The ground waa batter attended than
any of the previous dayB, and, as usual, his Exoellt
and suite honoured the game with their attendance, i
a greater number of tbe fair sex, tempted, no doubt
tba fineness of tbe weather, graced the Grand Stand tl
before. The play tbrongbout the day waa very go
that of both sides being, with little exception; marl
by caution in defence and judgment and skill in hitti
The bowling'was excellent and tbs fielding, ot, most al
. really splendid; ot course there were oooafcional mist
but they were the exception. '? It ia rather remarka
though that;' with the eapKal fielding, Dirt
single person, on either aide, waa iron out tbrot
tbe wbole match; and, in : itself, provea t
much of that over anxiety to make rana, whioh is '
besetting sin of moat yoting players, baa been superaet

Wfcilat on thia subject,,it would be almost unfair,
though we have no deaire to draw invidious eompariao
to omit to mention tbe «apital etand mada by Junes, v,
for an boar and a.half took what may be oa.led I
" eream of the bowling" and kept np for the «hole tl
a aplendid defenoe. The most astonishing feat w
however, that of D'Arcy, who by oaatious play and i
oellent hitting, by never giving a ohanoe, and ne
misBiog one, showed himself, although one of I

learned, and had the honour of nea king the top seo
In the field Bedfern at point apeo>ally distinguía!
bimaeir by his splendid play, and tba throwing of War«
and Cameron was muob admired. Gilbert alao ehon
aome good fielding, and D'Arcy at long atop played vi
nicely. The umpires ohoaen to offioiate gave t
greatest satlafeetlon, and their deoielons were acoeded
without any demur. It was advertised that after 1
cricketing was over there would be foot raolng and otl
sports, but, although we remained some time on I
ground tbe only sport we observed waa the hoisting a
carrying in triumph by the crowd, of any unfortnm
cricketer they could oatob, and who might with «or
shadow of justice have said in snob case " save me tn
my friends.''
The play oommenoed at eleven o'olook by Gormi
and Jones going in to bat to the bowling ol Wi

overthrow. ? Thompson gave a drive to long leg fi
