The Hastings Festival, which was inaugu­ rated last year, was opened on the Central Recreation Ground, under very favourable auspices, on Thursday last, with the above fixture. The management, profiting by their experience of 1887, had decided to confine the attractions to two really important matches, and, although the meeting between Shrews­ bury’s team and the Australians at Manchester prevented the appearance of several well-known players, including Briggs and Lohmann, on each side in the first of the two fixtures, on the whole, considering the lateness of the date, the English players, in both cases, had been well selected, and were calculated to render a good account of themselves. Mr. Wl G. Grace was fortunate enough to win the toss, and Abel and he made such a favourable commencement for the South, that 77 runs had been registered before Abel was bowled for a steadily got 30. Mr. Grace did not survive long, as, with two runs, he was bowled by Barlow, his 44—an innings without a fault —including seven 4’s. Mr. Pigg was soon dismissed, but Mr. Read, his successor, gave the Northern bowlers a lot of trouble, and his batting was decidedly the feature of the innings. He scored all round freely, and the total had been raised to 233 before he was caught at short-slip, the ball going off his hand. He was only two hours and ten minutes at the wickets for his 96, and, as a display of free and powerful cricket, it was worthy of the highest praise. Among his hits was an on-drive from Peel out of the ground for six. Mr. McCormick, too, also shaped well for his 34, the result of judicious and well-timed batting. The Southern innings closed soon after five o’clock for 258, and, in the half hour left for the North to bat, they scored 36 for the loss of one bats­ man, Hall, who was run out. Continuing on Friday morning, Mr. Dixon, Gunn, and Barnes were all seen to advantage, so much so that at one time 100 was up with only two wickets down. Then came a collapse, and, when Flowers and Barlow became partners on the fall of the seventh wicket at 141, a follow on for the North seemed quite within the bounds of probability. Some lively batting by Flowers, who was only in twenty minutes, however, prevented his side from having to continue their batting, and, when the tenth wicket fell, the total was 187, or 71 behind. When the South went in again, Messrs. Grace and Read were not so fortunate, and Abel, of the early batsmen, was the most successful, having contributed 43 out of 98 when he retired, the fifth wicket down. Mr, Key hit away with Mr. Sutthery for his partner, and, at the end of the second day, the former was not out 42, with the total 153 for seven wickets. On the following morning, Mr. Keyjfound no one to support him, and, when the innings closed, he was left to carry out his bat, having made 37 of the 53 runs added since the previous night. He was altogether two hours and three-quarters at the wickets for his 79, and his judicious play, at a time when the other batsmen of the side were faring badly, wasvery highly appreciated, as it deserved, by the spectators. The Northerners, who entered on their second innings on Saturday afternoon at 1.30, had by no means a pleasant task with 278 runs to win, and hardly enough time in which to get them. They began very badly, losing two of their best run-getters—Mr. Dixon and Hall— for only fifteen runs. After this, though, the Northern batsmen were thoroughly at hom with the Southern bowling, and Barnes, Sugg, and Mr. Daft all lent Gunn useful assistance. Gunn, in particular, played admirable cricket, scoring well from all the bowlers to whom he was opposed. He was two hours and a half at the wickets for his 91, and there was only one mistake, a chance in the slips when he had got 74, to mar an otherwise irreproachable innings. Gunn, who went in second wicket, was seventh out at 201, and his dismissal was the prelude to a most exciting finish. Flowers and Peel stayed some little time, till the former was finely caught, and after Peel had been taken in the slips, a splendid catch by Abel at short-slip brought the innings to a close. The excitement after Gunn’s retire­ ment was intense, with the result very open, and as it was the South, who won by 47 runs, were only just able to pull through, only four minutes remaining for play when the last wicket fell. In the three days 881 runs were scored, and that the North in the fourth innings were able to make 230 was a proof of the excellence of the wicket up to the very finish. S outh . First Innings.
