The above match was played on Saturday afternoon notwithstanding the heavy shower of rain which fell at noon, the ground being naturally very unfavourable to run-getting. Still this hardly accounts for the very poor show made by the Volunteers who seemed utterly unable to make any resistance to the deliveries of Read and Machado, backed up as they were by smart fielding, took in all 12 wickets for only 25 runs.
Rend's figures are truly remarkable, ho The best form with the bat was shown by Mann, Machado and Crawford, though it niust be admitted that the two former were extremely lucky.
The Volunteers were defeated by un innings and 44 runs.
The following are the scores.
F, Slayuardes, Cranford, and Tunings. Machado 1 st, Cave, i. Machnito, 0
