CRICKET MATOIt.
naUSBELb TB. a=mumH,
On Thursday of last week the 13rueaols
cricketers drove to Soaforth to play the As -
sedation match with the club of that town,
The wickets worn pitoheci on the Recreation
park, which is as nine a piece of ground 0
Dan be obtained anywhere, at 1 o'clook, and
Brussels was sent to bat sending 11. Donnie
and D, Bees to open the game and face the
bowling of the wellknown Baird and Adams.
The wickets foil fast and the innings ended
with the small scorn of 29, of whioh A. Cur.
rie made 7, Kitchen 6 and 97nLonnan 5.
Soatorth thou wont in and bad a little bet-
ter success, their innings
totalling
84,
be-
ing the highest indivival corDenne
and Boss did great execution with their
bowling. The 2nd innings for Brussels
started off well, D. Ross putting 12 runs to-
gather in magnificent etyle but the rest of
the boys soon got through wielding the wil-
low and tho last wicket fell for 40 runs. Dr.
McNaughton was orodited with 7 and A.
Currie with 8. The home team had 36 runs
to make to win and were already counting
on victory. Dennis was laid up, but hose
had Bre in his eye and Bitobon had his
shirt sleeves rolled up and down went the
10 wickets for 26 runs, and the innings
wound up with Brussels leading by 8 runs,
Boss clean bowled 5 men out in the innings.
The game throughout was a very enjoyable
ono ; the bowling was on the wicket almost
every v y tim o, the fielding was sharp and con-
sequently tho somas were small. The boys
speak very highly of the way the Soaforth
cricketers entertained them. The following
score and bowling analysis is worthy of a
careful perusal and ariokotors will see how
the work was done:--

and oats. The fall wheat • is not as good
this 0800011 as it has been for the last few
years owing to the extreme cold during the
winter but on the whole i0 a fair drop. Oats
• is very good but somewhat short fn the
straw owing to the dry weather. The omit

is is suffering for the want of rain. The
