WEST GLOUCESTERSHIRE AND WESTBURY-ON- 
TRYM CLUBS. 
The return match between these clubs took place on 
Durdliam-down on August 18 and 19. The ground was in 
capital order, and much good cricket was exhibited by both 
sides. 
West Gloucester— 1st innings. . 137 1 Wcstbnry-on-Trym— 1st innings' SO 
„ 2nd innings . 127 1 „ 2ndinnmgs2s 
In the last innings of the Westbury Club the uncertainty 
of cricket was most truly exemplified. The four first wickets 
fell for twenty-four runs ; the fifth wicket had one ball to 
receive to finish the over, from which he gave a chance that 
was not taken, and he obtained a run. From every ball of 
the next over a wicket was taken, all four being caught ; front 
the first ball of the ensuing over ono was bowled. Thus six 
wickets were taken for seven balls, the VI est Gloucestershire 
winning the match by 156 runs. 
COVENTRY YOUNG SAXONS v RUGBY UNITED. 
The above match was played on the School field, dt Rugby, 
on Monday last. This game had been looked forward to 
with hope, and a little fear on the part of the United, the 
little Saxons being considered A 1 in the county of Warwick. 
The weather was very unfavourable ; nevertheless there was 
a large muster of those who delight in haudling the willow, 
besides a goodly company of the lovers of the game. Rugby 
commenced operations by sending in Osborn and W. Over, who 
made a long stand for thirty-six runs, when Over was howled by 
Cribden, Osborn following in his wake. This caused a change 
in the game, till the fifth wicket, when Messrs. Parnell and 
Elkington placed thirty-six to the score ; when the former was 
run out. Eyles placed ten opposite his autograph ; the rest did 
nothing worth talking about ; and when all was told, 115 was 
called the first innings. The Young Saxons went in un- 
daunted. J. Copsou made a stand for ten. Jos. Copson, Jones, 
and Hayward each booked nine. J. Cribden carried his hat 
out for twenty-eight, after steady play, and the rest being unfor- 
tunate, loft their first innings thirty short of a tie. Jones and 
J. C'opsou's fielding was frequently applauded by both sides. 
After the sports of the day a large party dined together at 
the Horseshoe-hotel. The young Saxons cheerfully gave a 
new ball to the United, and evinced, by their good feeling, 
that they were ns good loosers as winners. A very har- 
monious evening was spent to tho satisfaction ot all as- 
sembled. 
Tins match was played in Hungerford-pavk, on the 21st 
and 22nd instant.
