T h e second annual smoking concert of the Highbury Caledonian C.C. takes place at Frascatis’ Restaurant to-night at 7.30. T h e annual general meeting of the Kent County C.C. will be held at the Golden Crown Hotel, Charing Cross, on Monday next, at 3 p.m. I n four matches against Mr. Stoddart’s team and two International matches S. E. Gregory, up to the middle of January, had made 495 for twelve innings. Leaving Southampton in the Royal Mail Steamer Medw-y on January 16th, the English Cricketers, after a little rough weather in the first part of the voyage out, reached safely at Bridgetown early on the morning of the 28th. Soon after the Medway’s arrival the Entertainment Committee came on board, and to 1he accompaniment of an enthusiastic welcome from all classes the members of the team landed at the quay. The reception was of the heartiest, and under the most pleasing auspices the party were driven to their head quarters, the Marine Hotel, Hastings, about two miles out from Bridgetown. In the evening the team attended a ball at Queen’s House, the residence of Major-General Read. FIRST MATCH.—v. BARBADOS. A public holiday had been granted for each day of the match begun on January 29th, and special trains were run for the occasion. The various members of the team were heartily cheered as they drove to the ground, and their reception in the field was most enthusiastic. The ground had been enclosed by a high fence, and the covered stands which had been erected were filled in every place. Altogether not less than six thousand persons must have paid for admission. The ground is situated at Kensington, about a mile out of the town. As the ground appeared to be in good order the Englishmen, who won the toss, went in first. The wicket though had apparently been watered over night, and played very badly at the start. C. Goodman, who bowls right hand medium pace, with a high delivery, was especially difficult; and Barbados, with the best of the wicket, got a lead of 52 runs on the first innings. Later in the day Lucas and Sewell scored freely to the tune of 105 in fifty minutes, but rain in the night made matters bad for the batsmen again on the following morning, so that in the end the home team won by five wickets.
