OLD DRESSING ROOM, Even if somewhat one-sided aa regarded the result, the match on Saturday between el ins under the above titles was interesting to the spectators, who were able to enjoy the delightfully cooling breeze which swept across the ground, und at the same time witness an exhibition of free all-round: batting on the part of W. H. Moule. Judging the play as & whole, it cannot be reget cal na having been of tat class excellence, for the bowling being markedly weak, the batsmen soon learned to appreciate its real value and treated it with scant consideration. In the case of Moule this was especially noticeable, the batsman going out to meet the ball and to the boun-st. with a regularity that-aust have nate fieldsman, As usual his exhibition become a little monotonous to lig, unfor yrtuular one, and there was play, May be slot from the statement that his 96 was composed of eleven 4's, nine 8's, four 2's, and seventeen singles.
As usual the ladies' tent was well oceupied, but there were complainta that the seating accommodation: was rather limited, and the suggestion mas made thatthe com: mittee might either increase the number of chairs, or adopt some, tops, tu limit the number of children admitted to the marque.
The Now Dressing Room won the toss and sent in Garr and Sawyer, to oppose the bowling of Powell and Abbott. The very first ball bowled in the match was fatal to the popular Hou, Seo, who was out e. and well. Crawford was next in, but had made only 7 when he was smartly caught by Shewan. Black was even more unsuccessful, being don bowled by Powell. With the score at 10 for thres wickets Ghent, soil being neatly Vaaene ivined Sawyer, "After giving a to hit out freely.
