Before proceeding to the actual business of the day we may here remark that it has, we understand, been definitely arranged that another cricket-match is to take place between the military and civilians on Friday next. Mr. Lankham has spiritedly un derbaken to bring a team of civilians into the field, but of what players either team will consist we are not, at present, in a position to say. In addition to the weather having been yesterday all that could possibly be desired for the occasion, the Albert Bar- I racks cricket-ground was also in the best of order ; the natural consequence being, that the play was really good. The game commenced by the civilians first going to the wickets, the bowling on behalf of the military being negotiated by Lieutenant Onslow and private Maryland. S. Weetman and C. Outhwaite were the first to acceptthe bats — the former being very quickly sent to the right-about by an undeniable from Mars land without scoring anything. Simcox then joined Outhwaite, and they remained together for some considerable time, until the latter was bowled by Rush, who was put on in Marsland's place. Mars land, although quickly taken off, is evidently by no means a bad bowler, although probably out of prac tice. Outhwaite was not disposed of until he had made a somewhat brilliant innings, amounting to 21, which was only to be surpassed during the innings by Simcox, who remained at his wickets until he had played an eseellent innings of 42. We have before had occasion to refer particularly to the excellent good cricketing displayed by Simcox ; yes terday's play fully warranted our previous remarks, for nearly the whole of the runs scored were obtained by good careful play. Simcox can hardly be termed a brilliant bat, but for safety of defence and excellence in the field we have but seldom seen his equal in these colonies. Otway took the bat on the retirement of Outhwaite, but, after scoring five, he was given out for leg before wicket. Leggett then followed, but added nothing further to the score, as he was very speedily bowled by Rush. Lankham next came to the rescue, but was doomed to misfortune, being caught, we believe, off the very first ball delivered by Rush.
