MR, ANDERSON'S XI CMR ST. GROIX'S XI.
A mutch, under the "hove title, was played on the cricket ground on Saturday and a very pleasant afternoon of cricket was the result, In spite of the magnificent:
which we have been experiencing the last week which makes to our jer the finert- month of the year, we hear the Con tee had considerable diticully in getting together two elevens 5 in point of fact it was only with the assist= ance of two honorary members and five cors from the B. & O. ships Juva and alia, that the sides were made up at all. udersou having wou the toss decided to bat first and on " wicket which was in every way iv favour of the batsmen made commencement at L15 pin, sending in Ross and Dr. Pritchett of the Jard to face the bowling of St. Croix and A. J. Moule. The whule side were out at 4.30 with a respectable total of 133 to their credit, of which Ross had patiently compiled 35 in xn an ne and a half, while the explain had put together 21 in '15 minutes. in his own characteristic Mr. Jeff of the Malioa played a good £13, The two Moules started the gsf St, Croix'steam, Anderson bowling at the Pavilion end and' Crawford at the other. They at once commenced to hit and the score was 63. before young Moule Jost ship of his brother who was caught at point in trying to hit a ball into the Widow's Monument.
The game ended in favour of Anderson's team, the score being xt 103 for 9 wickets, as Mr, Bidwell, the Last man, was unable to go in, Thus ended what we believe will be the last match of the reason, though we hear there will be endeavours to get up another for next Saturday.
We are glad ta see that the Committee have allowed the Inds to play ow the Cricket ground doring the last week. The "young, ones" have thoroughly enjoyed it and it would be a good plan, if " game cannot be got up for next Saturday, to give them a chance of a wholeafterncn's cricket.
