The ladies again formed a numerous and most attractive assemblage, and one dare not venture to assert how very far their presence went towards enlivening and enhancing the scene. The fine mili tary band of the 57th Regiment discoursed its most eloquent strains at suitable intervals during the afternoon ; and last, but certainly not least, we must not forget our friend Mr. James, of the Q.C.E., who, ably supported with a plentiful relay of refresh ments, added his full share to the requirements of the grounds. The first to take the wickets for Auck land were of course Lankhamand Horan, who occupied that position when time was called on Saturday evening — thebowling during the remainder, as in fact was the case during the whole of the innings, being confined to Benn, Connors, and Loughey. The ground was not so good as on the previous day, as it could hardly be expected it should be when certain brisk showers that visited us since Saturday are taken into con sideration. It was rather too sodden, and the ball would consequently not rise at the wickets with its usual elasticity. Horan and Lankham soon com menced business in earnest, and the scoring became faßt and furious, the former not being disposed of until he had added 21 to the previous total, when, giving a chance to |Major Baker, it was speedily taken possession of, and another man wanted. Selwyn was the next to appear, but very shortly had to depart before an undeniable from Connors, after having only obtained three. C. H. Otway accepted the bat, and had added his fair share of eight, when Bean gave him notice to quit, and Baynor and Beatson, the last two to go in, had to remain satis fied with an appearance without any effects. Lank ham, who played a fine steady game throughout, carried his bat out with a really good score of 44. Taking byes, &c, into consideration, the innings thus closed with 135, leaving the Garrison the score of 171 to win. This, of course, seemed a hopeless task, and we thought that the fielding on the part of the military eleven, during the latter portion of Auckland innings, showed evident symptoms that the game was hardly worth striving after.
