A twelve-a-side match under the above title was played on the Cricket Club's ground on Saturday and resulted in an easy victory for the Bath and Golf Club team by 70 runs. The sides were not very well chosen, for the victorious team was stronger both in batting and bowling, and but for the fact that Pearson, who carried his bat through the Cricket Club's innings for 46 runs, was badly missed from an easy chance off O'Hara before he had scored, the difference would probably have been more marked. It is only fair to add that after his escape Pearson played a fine game for his side and in carrying his bat right through the innings achieved a rare and always noteworthy feat.
