NOTTINGHAM r. ALL ENGLAND. 
This match was commenced at Lord s on Monday morn- 
ing. It was the first of the great matches for the present 
season, and, as was expected, drew a large assemblage of 
noblemen and gentlemen who patronise and revel in the 
sport. If we say that between 3,000 and 4,000 persons 
were upon the ground we should not outrun the number 
of visitors. Amongst these we noticed Earl Vane and 
family, the president of the Marylebone Club, the Earl of 
Leicester, the Earl of Darnley, the Marquis of Stafford, 
the Earl of Uxbridge, the Earl of Winterton, Lord 
Douglas. Lord Royston, the Hon. Col, Lowther, the 
Hon. S. Ponsonby, the Hon H. l’onsonby, the Hon E. L. 
Griinaton, the Hon. R. Grimston, the Hon. R. Neville, the 
Hon. E. Bligh, the Hon. A. Bligh, the Hon. Capt. A. 
Ponsonby, Col. Boldero. Capt. Ward, Capt. Berkeley, 
Capt. Hogg, Grenadier Guards, the Hon. Capt. Miles, and 
many others whose names at the moment do not occur to 
our mind. 
The match was resumed on Tuesday, and at the close of 
the game the score stood thus : —

posed of for the small number of 60, leaving their opponents 
68 in advance. The University again made very free 
with the bowling, which, although it was hit in all direc- 
tions, was first-rate, until the score amounted to 124 — of 
which number Mr Colley wrote 23; this, with his previous 
score of 48, made a grand total of 71. Mr. Willes, 35; 
Mr. Longe, 33; and Mr. Law, not out, 20. The County 
sent in Mr. Hurst and Fletcher; the latter was compelled 
to quit, the first ball that was bowled finding his wicket. 
The aspect of the County looked anything but cheering 
(202 runs to win, with nine wickets standing). Bacon 
joined Mr. Hurst, and a fine display of batting ensued. 
The quality of the bowling and also fielding of the Uni- 
versity may he estimated from the fact, that in the score 
of Mr. Hurst there were 11 singles, and in that of Mr. 
Bacon 17 (who was in for two hours). On the fall of Mr. 
R. Marsham’s wicket the game was struck; three bats 
being out for 50 runs.

ELEVEN OF THE REPTON SCHOOL r. THE TOWN. 
This match was played at Burton-on-Trent, on Thurs- 
day, June 1, between the Junior Eleven of the school 
anil eleven of tin- town. On the School side the battin» 
of J. Wilders, W. Smallwood, and J. Brodie, was botft 
steady and slashing, as they knocked their adversaries 
balls about in the true Repton style. On the Town side 
A. Wharton showed science and skill in his use of the 
bat ; Collier, too, made a few hard hits The bowling on 
both sides was good and steady. The School, however 
proved too strong for their opponents, boating them with 
seven wickets to go down.

UNIVERSITY i F OXFORD v COUNTY OK OXFORD. 
The above Clubs contended on Cowley Marsh, on 
Thursday and Friday, the 1st and 2nd of June; but 
owing to the very excellent play, the match, although 
continued to the time appointctl on the second day, could 
not be played out, and consequently it was a drawn one 
The score of the University in the first innings was very 
considerably increased by the two last bats — Messrs. 
Colley and Veltch — whose admirable play produced, the 
former 48 (not out), and the latter 38. The County were,

CHRISTCHURCH CLUB, OXFORD, v. THE BANBURY CLUB. 
( From the Danbury Guardian.) 
Tills match wus played on the Banbury Ground, on 
Monday and Tuesday last, and ended in the success of the 
latter club as the subjoined score will show. At the end of 
the first day's play, the Banbury side hud obtained 212 runs 
with 2 wickets to fall. The piny was renewed on the Tues- 
day, and Bunbury finished their innings by increasing the 
scores to 225. The Christchurch having obtained but 80 jn 
their first inning- were put in upon the runs, hut did not 
succeed in obtaining more than 92 ; the game was conse- 
quently won by Banbury in nno innings and 53 i nns to 
spate. Notwithstanding Hie excellent bowling of the Christ- 
church (which was fully proved by the slowness with which 
runs w. re obtained), the Banbury score was unusually lurge; 
for Mr. Cobb, whoso innings in this mutch was a treat to any 
cricketer for his magnificent defence, and the Marsham 
family entirely prevented the excellent intention of the 
bowlers. Sumo of the hitting was very line, especially a 
drive for six of Mr. C. Marsham. Wo .no glad to see some 
young Banbury talent developing itself, and hope lo find it 
go on the right way to perfection. There was some excellent 
fielding on the part of Banbury, including Mr Hartley’s 
hack-stopping : only one bye (a leg-live) being obtained by 
their opponents throughout the match. The wicket-keeping 
of Mr. Raleigh was as good as man could wish to sec ; wo 
hope to see him here again. We can hurdly say too much 
iu praise of the opening of the Cnristchurch innings — we 
never saw straighter or better bowling played with straighter 
bats. Mr. Annistead’a play is too well Known for us to 
say any more than that it was us greut a Heat to wutcli as 
ever ; bo was ubly ussistod for a long time by Mr. Sand lord, 
until the Banbury side found a slow but sure means ol 
dispelling all doubts about the result of the muioli, in the 
person of Mr. Drake, the frequent recurrence of whose 
name in the score shows how useful a member he must 
be to any club. We must aLo, in the Christchurch innings, 
remark one splendid drive of Mr. Fellows, which unfor- 
tunately ended in the loss of his companion's wick* t ; and 
also ugain the steady and effective pluy of Messrs. Sandford 
and Fuller. In this innings, as before, the bowling of Mr. 
Drake quite “stumped ” tho baiting, and to it undoubtedly 
so very successful a termination to the match on the part of 
Banliury is indebted. After the conclusion of the mutch, the 
players and their friends dined together at Iho White Horse 
Hotel, where an excellent dinner wus provided by Mr. Hay- 
ward. Tho evening was spent in great conviviality, tmd 
an arrangement mado for unolher game between those clubs 
iu 1855.
