Phiksix Eleven v. Roslyn Sixteen. The Senior Cup match Phcenix Eleven v. Roslyn Sixteen was commenced on the Cale donian ground (kindly lent for the occasion) ou Saturday. The teams were captained respec tively by two veterans—G. A. Clark and Glen. The former winning the toss elected to bat, The condition of tho ground was not Al, aud not altogether in favour of the bowler. Glen, with an eye to business, selected the bumpiest end for his operations,jand was well rewarded for his pains. The ball seemed to cut all kinds of capers, resulting in the quick downfall of a majority of the willow wielders. The Eleven could only tot up <10, Harris (with 12) and W. C. Kennedy (with II) being the highest scorers. It is to be regretted the former has lost the vigour which at one time characterised his play. Very few players in our midst could equal him in knocking up a score from off or leg balls, yet on Saturday the plainest of balls seemed to stick him up, and his whilom favourites scampered laughingly by. Roslyn was a degree more successful, yet the total was somewhat disappointing; W.Morrison being the only batsman who reached double figures, obtained by careful play. Bowlinghonours were somewhat equally divided, Glen bagging nine for 19 runs, Frith seven for 21, Mont gomery three for 10 (seven of which wero wides), and W. J. Moore four for 4 runs. Crawford, for Roslyn, fielded excellently at poiut; the catch by which Montgomery was disposed of was worthy a professional. The match will be con tinued on Saturday next on tho Caledonian ground. A rather unusual thing happened during the second innings of the Phoenix. Harris lifted a ball on to the pavilion, whioh in its fall from the roof was caught by a fielder. Mr Kemplin, umpire, upou being appealed to, gave tbe player out. Con siderable excitement and discussion ensued, re sulting in Harris continuing his innings; the majority contending that the pavilion being a boundary the ball upon striking it was dead. The scores were:— I
