Show Tha B053 iq Blae Giva the' City ! Club a Gdme, i And Coma out Victorious. Yesterday, on Washiugtnn Square, a goodly number of lovers of the old-time old-time R:rno of cr.cket assembled to ituewiho match between the team from FltI Douglas aud eleven civilians. Trie Utter hid their firet inuitig and went to the wickets in right uod burner at 12 30, the last j man retiring ;it about 2 o'clock with a score all told ot 64. Taey did nol excellent batting, aud but two or f three cf them doiuv; aoy remark-! at'id playing. Fred. Diy and P..rcher kept up tueir Biumpa pretty well, luc former scoring 14 mid the Untr 11. The bowiii;i; of their opponeuta counted, aDrJ toid in the result. It wa evident that sevrr:l cf the civilian crickets should retire 00 their honors and give room fjr younger a,nd more active pUyrw. TneiY general fielding wad very poor and gave to the soldiers an eiisy victory. Tne boys ia blue took their first mniug immediately on tbe other side o:ug out, and made a goud record. Lieuteu-.nt Taylor, fie captain ol the eleven, maiutaiued his otieks in excellent excel-lent style, and acureJ tha bn mtw 15. Mr. iu. H. Walkirr was in for about aa hour and a half and sue ceedtd in tallyir.g a number ot extras and runa for his co.upunion buL-men, and 11 for himself. Cooper bad Ti set down opposite bis name, and but lor bis accident would doubtless have made more. Gunn, our Eleventh ward car driver, d:d well, the shor1 time he w:is in, buts Payne look bia wickets after be hnri made 7. Uook's slow and sure and Collett's swift bowliug did eflctivo service; the former should havo bowled more. But neither good bowliDg nor sharp wiciet keepiog on the part of two or tnree could counterbalance tbe miset. able fielding of tbe others. Tue fort players are over the average, at the bat and in the field, and can maintain main-tain their laurels in another match, unless the city team is materially strengthened.

Tbe home club went in and tallied 51, which, added to their first score, made 115, leaving only 25 for Lieut. Taylor's boya to make to win. Four men went in and made 26, which endtd tbe game ficd left to be recorded re-corded a bad beat for the Salt L:tke Cricket Club. The detested sida was not discounted dis-counted by the show they made, yesterday, and feel confident that they can do belter next time. Next Thursday, Lieut. Taylor and his eleveo willing, a r-dluru game, with a supper at the close, to be paid fcr by the losers, will be pUyed. Considerable interest in cricket was awakened yesterday, and experts were anxious to witness more playing during dur-ing the season. Banters and challenges chal-lenges were numerous, find ball talk was plentiful last evening, but the tallowing wai tno only definite result of it; To John Cunninyton, President, J. H.
