IRISH ARCHERY.— A new society has been formed, under the name of the Grand Leinster, and its promoters propose to hold, in some oentral town of the province, an open meeting for com- petition among archers. It. is probable that this assembly will be held on the 12th and 13th of August at Athy, where the meetings of the society will be inaugurated by a prize list of about £ 100; the shoting to be opened to the archers of Ireland generally. SCOTTISH ARCHERY.— The Koyal Company of Archers cele- brated the Queen's birthday in Edinburgh by competing for the Dalhousie prize, which was won by Alexander Howe, Esq, W. S, BESISTING THE POLICE.— At Middlesex Sessions, on Wednes dav, John Gillingham, 21, Elizabeth Gillingham, 21, and Mary Ann Winterbotham, 21, were indicted for unlawfully resisting and assaulting James Murphy and others, police- constables, in the execution of their duty.— Police- constable John Tierney, 25 H, said on Thursday morning, the 7th of May, he was in Boundary- street, and saw the male prisoner being taken into custody under a warrant on a charge of assault. There was a great crowd, and the two female prisoners were among them. They got hold of the male prisoner, and tried to pull him away from police- con- stable 163 H, who was taking him. The female prisoners threw stones, and witness was hit on the back of the neck with one of them. The male prisoner was very violent, and struck witness on the head. Witness closed with him, and they both fell to the ground together, and both the female prisoners kicked him in the ribs while he was down. He was severely hurt at the time, but the male prisoner was secured and taken to the station- house. The women followed, and they were taken into custody there. The prisoners were all convicted, and John Gillingham sentenced to twelve months'hard labour, Elizabeth Gillingham to two months', and Winterbotham to six weeks' imprisonment. THE LATE ACCIDENT AT THE PIGEON SHOOTING AT HORN- SKY.— The accident which occurred a few weeks since at Hornsey Wood, by which an unfortunate man lost his leg by a gun going off accidentally, has been under the consideration of those sup- porters of the Turf who have selected these grounds for their an- nual meetings. Their liberality has enabled Mr Frank Heath- cote, whose endeavours on behalf of the sufferer have been most praiseworthy, to present him with a check for £ 125. The appeal made by that gentleman was at once responded to, Lord Cowper heading the list with a subscription of £ 50. CITY OF LONDON ELECTION.— On Tuesday Mr G. Joachim Goschen, a well known City merchant, was elected member for the city of London in the room of the late Mr Western Wood. There was no opposition. Mr Goschen professes extreme Liberal opinions. SUMMER FISHING. " Full nature swarms with life; one wondrous mass Of animals, or atoms organised, Waiting the vital breath, when parent Heaven Shall bid his spirit blow Wide o'er the windingjimbrage of the floods, Like vivid blossoms gBwing from afar, Thick swarm the brighter birds. For nature's hand. That with a sportive vanity has deck'd The plumy nationa, there her gayest hues Profusely pours. But if she bida them shine Arrayed in all the beauteous beams of day, Yet, frugal still, she humbles them in song." As anglers are greatly dependent on the weather for sport, there are few classes of men who take such an interest in its varinug changes; and in no country in the world is the barometer so rest, less, or those who pretend to be weather- wise so often out of their reckoning. These constant alterations of the atmosphere are, however, all in favour of the sport of the field, both land and water, and make our country, take it all in all, the best sporting land in the world. In many parts of the world some one or two particular sports may be found which we cannot enjoy in Great Britain, but what single nation can show such a bill of fare to the sportsman as can be pro- duced in our own happy land ? And where will you find such thorough sportsmen! Foreigners complain of our fogs and cloudy skies— they prefer the ever shining sun of Italy; but it is the damp atmosphere which retains the scent oh the earth, and the dark cloud and brisk shower which fills the angler's creel. The sunny sky of southern Europe might be very agree- able to those who do not take any interest in field sports- there are few in England of this class— but it would be ruin to us as a sporting country. One of our greatest Nimrods in his declining years was recommended to try the air of Italy during the winter season. " No,'' he said, " I cannot give up my sporting, but I will bring Italy to me." And he built a glass conservatory joining his house of sufficient size to admit the formation of very extensive promenades. Since my last letter the weather has been wet and stormy in England and the north. In Wales little rain has fallen, and in some parts of the country heavy snow storms have taken place. There was much ice on the mountains, and even in the valleys the frost was strong. The reports of sport from the different angling stations are as various as the weather. From want of rain in many parts of Wales the rivers have been too low for salmon fishing, whilst in England the rivers have been bank full. My friends in both Scotland and Ire- land report highly of the stock of salmon in most rivers, and the rods have beeu moat successful. Grilse and sea trout will come in the early part of June, or later, according to the weather, and add greatly to the angler's sport. It is almost impossible to give ad- vice as to the proper salmon Hies to be used, unless I know the waters to be fished. I will give a hint or two as to the making of salmon flies. In my idea most salmon flies are made with both extremities much too extensive. A salmon fly with a long and brilliant tail, and a head as big as Aunt Sally with her best turban on, is my detestation. The fly thus made looks very pretty and taking to the eye of a tyro, but the taking qualities of such a fly are more attractive to the coin in the pocket of the tyro than they are to the salmon. In the first place a fly with a large head will not run smoothly through the water, and in a strong stream will make a wake like a Dutch- man's bavge, which is anything but attractive to the fish. I never put a head on any salmon fly I make for my own use. I think also most salmon flies might be curtailed of these brilliant extre- mities with very great advantage to the angler. A long and gaudy tail is, in my opinion, an appendage which has saved the life of many a goodly fish. It is a very common occurrence in both salmon trout, and grayling fishing to find the fish rise " short"— in fact, as a rule, fish generally rise " short" at the artificial fly. A salmon rising " short" will snapat the brillianttail, and as thesaid tail extends far past the bend and point of the hook he escapes without a scratch. If the tail were not so prominent and attrac- tive the fish would endeavour to seize the body of the fly, and of course stand a very good chance of being hooked. The tail of a salmon fly should be so placed that the end of the tail does not project past the bend of the hook, neither let your wings go past the bend; let the wing and tail be just of a length. Never cut the end of your hackles or the end of the fibres which form your wing, as some do when dressing a fly to make it look pretty. Choose the softest and most pliant feathers; stiff, strong- fibred feathers will not play in the water. Take your hackles from old birds. The hackle should be long in the quill, and the fiibres should be of a pretty equal length to near the point of the hackle. For bright and small flies I prefer floss silk for the body, but for larger flies I would use either mohair, pig's hair, or seal's fur. For dark high water, as a rule, dark, and even black flies made large are best. For mode- rate water a fly of that just mixture, neither too gaudy nor too sombre- coloured, and of medium size. For low and clear water a small fly, rather gaudy. Yellow, claret, and blue are the colours most used in making salmon flies; and I think yellow predomi- nates, and is that which salmon fancy more than any one colour. If you examine a dozen salmon flies taken promiscuously from a large assortment you will hardly find one that has not some yel low in its formation, and in many yellow is the prevailing cast. It may be useful to the tyro to have a list of the feathers necessary for salmon fly- making. Golden pheasant: Crest, tail, and tippet feather. Turkey: Feathers from the wing, rump, black with white tip, duns, and mottled. Blue jay: The blue mottled feather from wing. Mallard: Brown mottled feather from back, and light mottled from under the wing; also the white top from wing. Teal: Mottled feather. Bittern: Neck feather. Silver pheasant: Tail feathers and wing. Macaw: Blue and buff tail feather. Guinea fowl, peacock's wing, and tail, game cock's hackles, bustard, American wood duck, snipe, pencilled feather from under the wing), kingfisher ( small bright blue feather) hackles and dubbing of almost every shade, natural and dyed, these can be procured at mOBt tackle shops and better colours than '. the amateur dyer can produce. To this list, may be added avast number of feathers, both foreign and domestic, but I think the angler who has the above in his stock will not need many more for actual work. As I promised my readers I would give them a few hints as to fishing with the natural May fly, I will now proceed to do so. The green drake or May fly usually makes its appearance early in June, but it depends very much on the weather, the fly rising sooner when the air is warm and dry, and later when coli and wet. The drake is in season about three weeks, but during the latter part of the rise of the fly fish become so gorged thatthey will hardly look at any sort of bait. Your equipment for trout or grayling fishing with the natural May fly consists of a very long cane rod, from twenty feet up to any length you can use. These rods are made expressly for May fly fishing, and are, considering their great length, very light and handy. In all sorts of fishing I advise the tyro to arm himself with proper weapons. If he in- tends spinning let him use a spinning rod, line, and reel. That make- shift, a short, stiff joint, used on your fly rod as a make- shift, is an abomination. You cannot work properly unless you have proper tools. If you intend fully enjoying May fly fishing get a May fly rod. They may be had at all prices, and a good plain useful rod will not ruin you. A man might as well go snipe shooting with a duck gun as May fly fishing with a small fly rod. Some people with false economy fancy they can make their fly or cane spinning rod by the addition of a long butt answer all the purposes of a May fly rod. Unhappy mortal! When he gets to work, and when the fish are rising fast and furious, he finds his miserable make- shift all out of order. It is not firmly fitted at the ferrule of his new butt ( it can hardly be made to tit unless the butt of the fly rod is cut, and that would spoil the rod.) The point of the fly rod is too pliant, and he fails in striking his fish; or it is top heavy, and the whole rod unfit for the purpose he puts it to; he loses his fish, his tem- per, and is chaffed by his friend, who is filling his creel with the finest of fish. Having procured a May fly rod the next thing is a " blow line."' These lines are made in general of floss silk, and are so light that the most gentle breeze will carry them out when upheld by the long rod ; at the same time they are very strong. You will also require a May fly basket, with strap to attach it round your waist. Your reel should be rather larger than the ordinary trouting reel used for fly fishing, as the floss silk blow line is long, takes up much room, and ought not to be wound light on the reel. May fly fishing with the long rod and blow line is a very easy and really murderous way of taking trout or grayling, and if I owned a fine trout river I woutd never per- mit this style of fishing to be used on the water. There are various ways of fishing with the natural May fly, and all of them killing; but the most pot hunting and unsportsmanlike murder is cross- lining with the natural fly. Before you commence fishing you must collect, or have collected, a number of flies, and place them in your May fly basket. Mind and procure a sufficient stock, and always get fresh flies; that is, flies that have come forth the morning you fish. They are then strong and lively ; their bodies of a pale yellow, plump and fat, and their beautiful wings, of a singular olive green cast, stand up firmly from the shoulder. If you leave it to some careless attendant to procure your flies for a day's fishing, ten to one but when you open your May fly basket you will find it con- tains a lot of sluggish, dark brown, or nearly black flies, which are the metamorphoses of the male green drake. Trout will not look at the drake in this state; it is only the fine fresh and lively green drake that trout or grayling will look at. When you are picking your fly from the grass on the bank of the river you intend to fish, you will see the drake in three distinct colours— the green drake, the grey drake, and the black drake. The grey drake is the metamorphosis of the female green drake, the black drake is the metamorphosis of the male green drake. The green drake, as I have said, is that which you must choose. The grey drake is sometimes used for evening fishing, but it is of very little value, in my opinion; the black drake is useless. The rise of the fly depends very much on the state of the atmosphere; if the day be warm and fine, the fly will be up early in the morning, and will last perhaps four or five hours. On cold days the fly will not rise so early, and the rise of the fly will be of shorter duration. And now let us see how the natural May fly is to be worked with the long rod and blow line, To the point of your blow line you loop a length of at least three yards of fine strong gut, to which is attached a bait- hook of mode- rate size; I prefer Phillips's hooks to any others, but there are other hooks, the bends of which are broader, which are pre- ferred by many good anglers. Take two lively green drakes from your basket, which you have strapped round your waist, the basket in front; bait your hook by inserting the hook in the shoulder of one Mayfly, and run it up the shank; then insert the hook into the back of the second fly just between the wings, so that you can place the fly on the water in its natural position ; bring the first fly down to the second. If the day is bright and fine, with but little breeze, one fly is quite sufficient. Having your hook baited, you approach the river, placing your back to the wind ; when fishing with the blow line this is absolutely necessary. Keep your long rod in an upright position; if you are weak in the arm, you will find a small leathern cup fastened to the strap of your May fly basket a great relief, as by placing the end of the butt of your rod in the cup, you can fish with one hand, and not feel the weight of your rod in a long day's work. Now you are ready at the water side, and the river is one boil of rise; trout dash at the drake in all directions, the big fellows just raising their noses to the surface, and, letting the fly glide into their capacious jaws, sink, leaving scarcely a perceptible ripple. The smaller fish rush actively about, fighting for the rich prizes. You note the rise of a monster; you pay out just sufficient length of blow line to reach the spot; the breeze carries out the light line, and the May fly hangs in the air a few yards before the fish. Gently you drop your bait; it lights on the water " like a thing of life," and is carried down the stream t ® the watchful trout. Do not let any of your gut line touch the water, and keep the wings of your fly dry. The fluttering insect is too tempting for even the cunning old monster; down goes the fiy, there is scarcely any disturbance on the surface: a slight ring when your bait disappeared, and yet your line tightens, and the reel plays most exquisite music— at least to the ear of the angler. Do not strike hard ; you have a long rod, and the lever is power- ful; just raise the point, and the steel is buried deep in old Troutie'sjaw. Away he dashes; mind, more with rage and astonishment than pain; he plunges and throws himself clean out of the water; drop the point of your rod slightly, if he falls on the tightened line he will smash something; and now his first fury is past, he makes for the weeds; down stream with him, if he succeeds in his rush he will dart under the long tangled grass, and you may as well bid him adieu. Now he begins to be exhausted, and sulks; don't give him a moment's rest; keep him working; look out for a good place to land him; send the attendant with the net, and let him place it in the water; drop your fish down to the net, and the prize is all your own. There he is, a beauty! But don't waste your time in weighing and admiring him; rebait your hook and to work; you've no time to lose, fast and furious the trout are on the feed, and the drake in clouds fill the air, and cover the water. Fish after fish repay your skill, if skill such work can be termed, until, if you are not a very glutton, you tire with continual sport, and your basket is overflowing with the finest fish of the stream. Now the myriads of flies which fill the air and float on the surface of the river gradually decrease in numbers, the raise of the fish is less frequent, until not a ring breaks tlie water. The " rise" is over, and the fish sink to their resting haunts, glutted and filled with the drake, belly, gullet, and mouth, to the very jaws. The best weather for May fly fishing is a warm, cloudy day, with a gentle breeze, just suffi- cient to carry eut the blow- line. The only Bkill required is to prevent any part of the line from resting on the water, and the wings of your fly dry. It is a good plan to fish up the stream, as by that means you can even on bright sunny days approach very near the rising trout, and when you have hooked him kill him, without disturbing water you have not fished. You will find the May fly " up" ear- lier in the day on rapid, shallow water, and later on still, deep parts of the river. You may by noting this, so arrange your fish- ing as to get an hour or two more sport than you would other- wise. When the " rise" of the trout is over, you may repair to any locks, mill- dam, or deep, still water, and then renew your murder by sinking the natural May fly. All you require is a shot or two on your gut length; bait with a couple of green drakes, and sink them, gently drawing them up and down. Many good fish are taken in this way; but the most " pot- hunt- ing" and killing way of taking" trout with the natural fly, May fly, oak fly, stone fly, or, in fact, any large fly, is by " cross- lining." This is done by two men, one on each side of the river, both armed with long May fly rods. A long light silk line is stretched between the two rods, and in the centre is some seven or eight yards of gut, from which are suspended bait hooks, whipped on about a foot of gut; the hooks are baited with the green drake, and the parties walk up stream, dropping the flies on the surface. You may use one or more hooks, ac- cording to your judgment. When a fish is hooked, one party gives line, the other plays and kills the fish. You are not de- pendent on wind or weather; in fact, the brighter the sun, and finer the day, the better. All you have to do is to keep well back from the bank, fish up stream, and you may kill every fish you see rise; and more fine trout and grayling are taken in this way than any other; it is most deadly, but not according to the taste of yours, & c, FIN. Do SALMON FEED?— Our readers may remember that a few weeks back we stated that Mr Flinn, late of Worcester, had ex- hibited to us the stomach of a salmon from which in our presence he extracted the back bone and portions of the head of a fish fully six inches long, and that we at the time expressed an opinion that the long vexed question as to the salmon being a fish of prey had been thereby set at rest. Our attention has just been called to an article in the Worcester Herald, in which it strikes us the veracity of our friend Mr Flinn has been called in question, and in which it is suggested that the fish might have been placed in the salmon's stomach by the fisherman who caught the salmon as a make- weight. We can only say that the fish, whatever it was, was more than half digested, and moreover was so completely in the stomach of the salmon, that it would have required more cunning and ingenuity than is possessed by any fisherman we know, to place it in that position. Mr Flinn per- sonally superintended the opening of the salmon from which the stomach was taken, and as he has no possible object to gain beyond that of adding to the knowledge already possessed as to the natural history of the salmon, y, e are bound to believe that his statement is correct. THE SALMON FISHERIES IN SCOTLAND.— The rivers in Scot- land have this season abounded with salmon of much larger calibre than hitherto, which is no doubt ascribable to the more effective system of preservation as now adopted. The Tay espe- cially has yielded up specimens which, although of most sym- metrical form, have surpassed in sizeany caught in that celebrated stream in the memory of the oldest inhabitant of the locality. The largest and finest of the season was, however, caught on Monday, June 1, near the mouth, and contiguous to the Frith of Tay, into which that river empties. This truly noble fish, the weight of which exceeded 501b, was forwarded to Mr Grove of Charing- eross, where it was exhibited, and attracted a large num- ber of spectators: PEDESTRIANISM.

Chadwick, the proprietor of the grounds, discharging the duties of referee. The betting commenced at 5 to 4 on Swires, and closed at 6 to 5 on Mills. On going away the favourite cut out the work, and maintained the lead until within about 200 yards of home, when Swires passed him, and won the race by four yards.

FBIDAY, MAY 29.— WRESTLING MATCH.— The promoters o£ this " contest," in selecting the forenoon of one of the Manchester race days for its decision, possibly anticipated " a good gate"— this being, unfortunately, with some men, a more primary consi- deration than the quality of the sport announced to come off. Horse racing is, however, now- a- days, unquestionably a national pastime; and any other description of outdoor amusement which, clashes with it in the same vicinity, must, so far as a large at- tendance of spectators is concerned, prove more or less a failure. The smatynumber of persons present here to- day, as well as the exceedingly poor sport, go a long way to prove the correctness of these statements, as such an event, we are glad to say, it is set often our duty to record. The match, which was for £ 25 a side, lay between B. Holden of Hollingwood and F. Robinson of Ash- ton, they having agreed to wrestle two out of three back falls, neither to exceed 5 score 161b weight. Odds of 2 to 1, in small sums, were laid on Eobinson, J. Matley of Ashton acting as re- feree. We shall not occupy unnecessary space in describing the affair, further than by saying that Holcfen did not seem to possess, the slightest chance from the commencement, Bobinson throwing him twice in succession, both rounds not occupying more than eight minutes! PEDESTRIANISM.— W. Lang and P. Stapleton were to run one mile, for £ 25 a side, here, on June 6, at four o'clock. The stakes had been deposited with Mr Holden, who was also to act aa referee.

No matches can be inserted unless sent by the secretary or some member authorised by the club, and those matches will be rejected which are not drawn up in proper form, or which are • written on both sides of the paper. Much trouble is saved by the use of F. Lillywhite's score sheet, which was so generally used last season, and which must not be confounded with the scoring paper used at a match. Matches not appearing imme- diately should not be sent again, they being only delayed for want of space. M. C. C. AND GROUND v COLTS OF ENGLAND. JUNE 1.— This match was commenced at Lord's on Monday last. The object is to bring out colts likely to represent their res- pective counties. We find very good men in Bignall ( Notts), J. Street ( Surrey), and Anscoinbe is good at the wicker. Silcock ( Essex) is a remarkably good bowler. Nightingale, although with a " pair < sf spectacles," is an excellent bat, and will be sure to play for the Surrey Eleven. Gunn ( Surrey) bowled well, a » did Smith from Nottingham— altogether it was generally believed that a better selection could not have been made. The match was an interesting one, but not numerously attended. Among the spectators, however, was his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, who was accompanied by Major Teesdale and Mr Hope Grant. This is the first appearance of his royal highness at Lord's, but we hear— and the public will he highly pleased to hear also— that he i » likely to visit the ground several times during the ensuing sea- son. It will be seen that the Marylebone Club worn by seven runs. Score: M. C. C. AND GROUND. 1st inn 2d inn W. Nicholson, b street 14 b Rawlinson 5 J.

This match took place May 28th, 29th, and 30th, on the fine ground of the Lansdown Club. The weather was very fine; in fact, taking the good wickets and condition of the ground into consideration, it was the first time the Eleven had had the oppor- tunity of showing their real form this year. The company each day was very numerous, and such an array of ladies is seldom to be witnessed. The Twenty- two won the choice of innings, and took advantage of the good wickets. The first innings occupied the whole of Thursday, amounting to 189 runs— a fine display of cricket by most of the gentlemen. Mr Charles played a fine 12, Mr Grace's 73 were well made, not giving a chance until he had scored nearly 70 of them. The Twenty two were very strong indeed. The fielding of the Eleven was very good, the bowlers being Tinley, Jackson, Tarrant, Willsher, and Hay ward. We are sorry to record a complete chapter of accidents to the Eleven this innings. George Parr started with smashing his finger, H. Ste- venson received a severe hurt on his thumb, preventing him from taking the wicket, and Tinley had a finger knocked out of joint. These accidents prevented Parr and Stephenson from taking their usual places at the wickets with the bat. Friday was another cricket day, with a little more wind than the previous one. At eleven o'clock England commenced their innings, against the bowling of Mr Grace and Mr Morris; at half- past five they had scored 159 runs, being 30 short of the Lans- down. Jackson's was a fair innings of 12; Tarrant's 23 consisted of one four ( run out), threetwos, and singles; Hayward was in a very long time, seeing three of his companions fall; Csesar, who was looking all over like scoring, was caught at long on ; Anderson showed fine hitting in his 31; Hay ward was now well stumped by Mr E. Ede, his score of 31 consisting of four threes, one two, and singles; Clarke's was a good 19, by a four, a three, three twos, & c; Tinley's was the other double figure, scoring 15 ( not out). The second innings of the Twenty- two amounted to but 57 runs, nine of their wickets falling before the stumps were drawn for 21 runs. On Saturday the remaining 12 wickets were cleverly disposed of in an hour and a half. Tinley took 10 wickets with slows, and Tarrarit and Willsher did their bowling well. . The Eleven had 88 runs to make to win, which, after an exciting con- test, they accomplished, with three wickets to fall. Robottom and Hayward were unfortunately run out, the latter a complete fluke. " Anderson's 33 was a magnificent innings. G. Parr and Clarke finished the game. Mr Casan ( whose delivery is very peculiar), Mr Morris, and Mr H. Grace bowled very straight. So England won this match, and a great match to win against so strong a Twenty- two. Bravo, England ! you did your work splen- didly in this match. We must not forget to give a word of praise to Mr Emery, the landlord of the hotel where the Eleven stayed, whose'kindness and catering for their comfort is felt and appreciated by them all.

This match should be fairly called against Twenty- Two of York- shire, as the committee of the match had brought players from Sheffield, Bradford, and Leeds, making a very powerful team. Play commenced with the Eleven sending their opponents to the • wickets. The ground is a new one, but with proper care will make a verv good one. The total of the innings was 188 runs, of which Stephenson of Sheffield, by good play and hard drives, made 63; Swain was in a long time for his 12; Dawson, Scateherd, Hargreaves, and others played well. When time was called one wicket of the Eleven had fallen for 15 runs— Rowbotham, bowled br Swain. On Tuesday, June 2, the weather was very fine; play commenced about eleven o'clock. The innings amounted to 152, 36 short of the Twenty- Two. Willsher increased his score to 17 ; C ; arke saw six wickets fall, scoring 42 runs; Anderson's 15 con- si ited of one three, three twos, and singles; Jackson's innings was it ade by some brilliant drives, & c. The Twenty- Two in their second innings had scored 86 for the loss of nineteen wickets. The only one who stayed long was Thewlis, whose innings of 32 was • well deserved; Mr Crossley played well for his 6. The slows of Tinley, and Jackson and Tarrant's bowling were good. On Wed- nesday the score was made up to 95, leaving the Eleven 132 runs to make to win. This score they failed to make, being short 54 runs; Pollard bowled well this innings, taking seven wickets. Hayward, Rowbotham, and Anderson scored well. Score: HALIFAX. lst inn 2d inn B. Walker, b Tarrant 1 W. 8u thers, leg b w, b Tarrant 5 J. Smith, c and b Tarrant 2 E.

This match was played on the Christ Church Ground, Oxford, on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, May 28, 29, and 30, the Eleven contending against Nineteen Gentlemen of the Club and Blinn, one of the professionals engaged on the ground. The Eleven were somewhat the favourites at starting, although their opponents were freely supported by those who always stand by Oxford. The ground was in superb condition, while the weather was especially favourable for the match. The Eleven, from un- avoidable causes, were minus the valuable services of Lockyer and Caffyn, the latter of whom stood as umpire. Score : CHRIST CHURCH. lst inn 23 inn Hon G.

Thi3 match was commenced at Rossall School on May 2, and after many afternoons' play ended in an easy victory for the School by three wickets. As will be seen, long scores were made © n both sides. For the Tenth Form the chief scorers were, in tbe first innings, Bolton, Bromley, Mainisty, Rawlins, and Elsworth ( who had to retire, being hurt); and in the second innings Howard, Elsworth, Bromley, and Rawlins did their duty, also A. F. Elsworth. For the School, Humphreys, Parr, and Tanner made long scores. Parr, in the second innings, also played well. Tanner's bowling was good throughout, and Williamson's was also good. Rawlins was destructive with the slows in the first innings. The fielding of the School in the first innings might have been much better. The ground accounts for the large number of extras.

This match was played at Rossall on May 25 and 26, and resulted in a victory for Uppingham by nine wickets. The long score of 243 is mainly attributable to the fine batting of Messrs Green, Briggs, and Lucas, the first named of which gave but one chance in his innings of 87. The pluck and perseverance of the Rossall Eleven in such an uphill match cannot be too highly praised, and their fielding was all one could wish to see. Score: ROSSALL. lst Inn 2d inn W.

The following circular has been issued:— Proposed by the Hon F. Ponsonby and seconded by Lord Win- terton. I.—" Thatthe M. C. C. umpires be directed to watch the bowling strictly in all matches on Lord's Ground, and in all M. C. C. matches elsewhere, with a view to carry out the provisions ot Law X. with impartiality, and to the best of their judgment." II.—" That in forming their judgment as to the fairness of any bowler, they shall attend particularly to the height of his hand as it passes his body in the last swing of the arm before delivery." III.—" That the committee will receive complaints which may be made to them respecting any alleged erroneous or improper decisions of umpires employed by the M. C. C., and will deal with proved cases of incapacity or unfairness; but the committee will decline to give an opinion as to the fairness or unfairness of any particular bowler, as they believe that interference with the inde- pendence of umpires would be injurious to cricket." IV.—" That these resolutions be printed, and a copy given to each of the M. C. C. players." [ This must be highly satisfactory. It now remains for the umpires to do their duty.] LAW X. MR EDITOB: I have been a member of the M. C. C., although not so now. I have also been connected with the eleven of one of the chief cricketing counties, and under these circumstances I venture to,. put my views before the public. What is required ? I mean, in order that the M. C. C. may continue to be looked up to as the leading club in England, and may be relieved from the danger ( which must be fatal to its supremacy) of running counter to public opinion upon a matter of such universal occurrence as the infraction of Law X. Tempora mutantur ! It was easy enough in the days of Ward, or Lilly white, or Broadbridge to lay down, laws which should be generally acceptable. In those days county cricket was limited to one or two of the southern counties, and the cricketing constituency was so limited that it might be said it was represented, almost man for man, by the members of the M. C. C. But cricket has multiplied itself a hundred fold since those days; and there are at least six counties instead of one which lay claim year by year to the supremacy; while it is the fact also that the large majority of cricketers through- out the country are not members of the M. C. C. I do not advocate the repudiation of the M. C. C. as the leading club; on the contrary, I admit, and I would wish to inculcate this upon others, that there is a large debt of respect and gratitude owing to that club for its long and consistent leadership of our great na- tional game. I wish, however, to see the M. C. C. relieved from the imputation— which I, for one, am sure has no substantial foundation— of wishing to dictate to other clubs ; and I am of opinion that this may be best done by providing some distinct representation of public feeling throughout the country upon any disputed point. Let there be a conference ( as occasion may offer) of delegates from the various counties, to meet in London, and to place upon record the opinions which may prevail— e. g., if Law X. could have been discussed early in the present year by twelve leading men chosen from the counties of Cambridge, Kent, Not- tingham, Surrey, Sussex, and Yorkshire, and a resolution ( I care not which way) have been arrived at, would not such a resolution have weighed withnineof tenmembersof the M. C. C. in endeavour- ing to accommodate the laws of cricket to the requirements of the time? It is often said that a middle course is best—" tn medio tutissimus ibis !"— and upon this principle I venture to urge a course which will practically bring the M. C. C. within the reach of public opinion, while the time- honoured presidency of that club will be preserved in the councils of cricket. It something of this kind is not soon done, the supremacy of the M. C. C. may be at any moment contested; and although its members studiously disclaim the wish to dictate to other clubg, it is, perhaps, impos- sible for them to divest the public of a contrary notion, and a state of chaos may probably ensue— some calling out for the M. C. C.; some for a Parliament; some for the Oval; ruit Nox ! Let, therefore, lovers of good cricket endeavour to maintain the M. C. C. in their ancient honours; but let a safety valve be pro- vided for the superfluous steam of youthful experimen- talising, or the over- caution of sexagenarian anti- Parf- ism, at the Pavilion ( that dark specimen of Gothic !),| byJproviding, through the medium ef a consultation among the county cricketers of England, that the M. C. C. shall not proceed to legislate in igno- rance of the opinion which may prevail upon any important topic.— Yours, & c, VIA MEDIA. MR EDITOB: I observe that the M. C. C. have issued a circular to all clubs who are engaged to play on Lord's Ground this year, intimating that Law X. will be strictly carried out. Let every umpire try this simple experiment. Let him make a mark along a wall at the precise level of his shoulder. Then let him get some bowler usually accounted " fair " to go through his usual delivery opposite this mark, and he will find that, except in the case of a few " slinging" bowlers, the law is violated nearly every ball. For be it remembered that if, even in " the estimation of a hair," any part of * the hand or arm is over the shoulder, the umpire is bound by the terms of his engagement on Lord's Ground to call " no ball." I would rejoice to see this conscientiously done for one match. One good match might, indeed, be spoiled, but there would be an end of this mismanaged business It is, at present, as I can bear witness, producing the most wretched differences among country clabs. " No balls '' are seldom called, but bowlers are constantly objected to, and then there are, of course, recrimina- tions, and if both heads of sides are wise, there is a special agree- ment that the matter shall drop altogether. I suppose the M. C. C. care little about country clubs, as also about boys' bowling, which any application of the rule makes utterly feeble and useless. But let them know this, that cricket cannot flourish long as a me- tropolitan spectacle if it ceases to be a national institution. And this I fear there is some danger of its doing if the M. C. C. throw away the position of cricket legislators, which has hitherto been ac- corded to them, by their present course of action. There would soon be one rule observed in Surrey and another in Nottingham, and a match between Eton and Harrow at cricket might become as impossible as at football. I therefore entreat them, if they have the real good of the game at heart, to desist from their present impulsive and futile attempts to carry out a rule which the coun- try does not want, which the mass of umpires are not fit to decide upon, and which, as worded means one thing, and, as generally interpreted, another ; but there must be some limit drawn, and so I will venture to propose the'draft of a new Law X. :—" The ball must be bowled, not thrown or jerked. If it shall ap- pear to the umpire that any part of the bowler's hand shall have been above his head at any time during the final action pre- ceding delivery, he shall, on a special appeal being made by the batsman, order him ' not out,' even though he shall otherwise have been given out by being bowled, caught, or stnmped out, or being leg b w. In case of the ball being thrown or jerked a ' no ball' shall be called and scored, but not in case of its being bowled over the head, the only penalty in this latter case being that a player cannot be put out by such a ball, if he chooses to make a special appeal, and if the umpire have any doubt he shall give it in favour of the batsman." Would not this law be worth a trial ? It would prevent dangerously high bowling, and throw the onus of keeping the law on the umpire.— Yours, & c, M. A., Oxon. * If the law only said " the hand' it might be supposed to mean the whole hand ; but the whole arm cannot be over the shoulder, and hand and arm are put in the same category. ^ OXFORD v CAMBRIDGE. MB EDITOB : As the time approaches for the Oxford and Cam- bridge Match at Lord's, and the partisans of either side are anxiously calculating the chances of their favourite University, we observe with considerable regret that, while Oxford, assisted by its former representatives in the field, is doing its utmost by continued practice to ensure success, Cambri'dge, apparently over- confident from the result of the last four contests, is resting on its oars. Though unexpectedly deprived, from various causes, of some of the most valued members of last year's excellent Eleven, they were not entirely without hope, at the beginning of the season, that they might turn out a team likely to maintain the reputation of their name. How these fair prospects have been overcast your readers will readily infer from the fact that, whereas five is the least number of matches that hitherto has been deemed sufficient to discover the best materials for a new eleven, and mould them into shape, the University have this year been compelled, through no fault of their own, to rest content with two. Of these, the only satisfactory one ( that against the Players) was got up by themselves, and played at their own expense; the other, with the Marylebone Club, has already elicited some severe remarks in your columns; suffice it to add that, unless the M. C. C. had been reinforced at the last moment from the strength of the University, there would have been no match at all. Thus, to all intents and purposes, on Mav 12 the season of 1863 was closed at Cambridge, or rather ad- journed till June 22 at Lord's. We confidently assert that this unfortunate state of affairs is not owing to any lack of energy on the part of the C. U. C., but rather to the apathy and neglect ef old Cambridge men. The two annual matches, Past v Present Cantabs and Past v Present Quidnuncs, which always used to excite great interest, were this year duly fixed, but, to the disap- pointment of all, were given up almost at the last moment, sim- ply because eleven old Cantabs could not be found sufficiently patriotic to lend a helping hand to their University when most required. Would this have happened had R. A. F. been to the fore ? Negotiations have been carried on with most of the influ- ential gentlemen cricketers of England, in hopes of providing practice for the C. U. C., but with uniform ill- success. We con- clude by expressing an opinion that, if a humiliating failure awaits the Cambridge Eleven at Lord's, the responsibility will not lie entirely with them.— Yours, & c, RESPONDEBE PABATI. Total.
