G R A N D C R I C K E T M A TCH , Played on tlie Fifteen Acres, Phaznix Park. THE GARRISON OF DUBLIN a g a i n s t ALL IRELAND. Yesterday, a Grand Cricket Match was decided on the Fifteen Acres, for the sum of one thousand guineas—fire hundred each side—which took rise from an expression thrown out a few nights since, in a convivial party, by Lieutenant-Colonel Lennox, and immediately taken up by the Bight Hon, Major Hobart—the Garrison of Dublin v. all Ireland: There appeared :— F o r T h e G a r r is o n .

P o y l e Captain Sandby, who was to have played on the side of the Garrison, and who is esteemed one of the first players in Eng­ land, was rendered incapable of acting in the field, from the disagreeable accident of his shoulder having been dislocated tbe evening before, in bringing himself into practice. About half-past one the Garrison set upon their first innings, and from the com­ mencement the odds ran two to one in their favor, which did not tend to raise the ex. pectations of those who had made even bets the day preceding. More skill, judgment, and activity were never perhaps exhibited on any similar occasion than were displayed by both parties. At about four o’clock, the whole set, which consisted of eleven, was outed; and, so keen were the competitors, that, without waiting for refreshments, the side of Ireland proceeded upon their I nning . Less spirit did not distinguish this contest than the former, though it was attended with less success. As there was a very great disparity in the number of notches made by the contending parties, the Garrison exceeding Ireland by much, the latter proceeded upon their second I n nin g , in order that a single day might determine the competition, or that there should be a reasonable prospect of a doubt­ fulness of fortune to render it necessary to proceed upon a second. An hour and a quarter determined the fate of the wager; for, notwithstanding the severest exertions of the Gentlemen on the part of Ireland, it went hollow in favour of the Garrison of Dublin. The game stood in the following manner:— F ir st I nning . Notches.

Mr. Quinn acted as umpire on the part of Ireland ; a military gentleman for the Garrison. The game was kept by Mr. Burrowe. Her Excellency the Countess of West­ moreland lost ten guineas by betting on Ire­ land. Two handsome marquees ware pitched, one in Mr. Hobart’s shrubbery, for the re­ ception of a brilliant circle of ladies of dis­ tinction, who graced the simplicity of the manly scene with their presence ; the second,for the accommodation of the cricket players, on the other side of the Ha Ha, in the Fifteen Acres. The band of the 35th regiment attended, and played a variety of favourite airs during this pastime, which, contrasted with the en­ ervated amusements of the present taste, must be acknowledged to be rational, salu­ brious and deserving of encouragement. Colonel Lennox astonished the spectators with a display of agility and skill during the whole contest, which even the amateurs of the science admitted to have been with­ out parallel in the course of their experience. His subtlety at bowling it was, that so soon caused the event of the day to deter­ mine in favour of the Garrison ; and his fa­ cility of catching the ball may be witnessed, but cannot be described. Mr. Tufton also proved himself to be an excellent player. At the xoicket he was invulnerable. He stood the whole inning , and was never in danger of being put out . We do not at present recollect the number of notches that he made, but they were numerous. On the adverse side, Mr. Cooke was par­ ticularly distinguished for energy and skill; Mr. Secretary Hobart was indefatigable in his exertions, and in point of scientific ability was next to Mr. Cooke. The Hon. Captain Wesby was also active, and remarked for a promising player. The remainder behaved with much zeal and adroitness ; but “ ’tis not in mortals to com­ mand success,” though they did more,—“ en­ deavoured to deserve it.” ! ST. PAUL’S rCATHEDRAL CHOIR SCHOOL v.
