James Lillywhite's Cricketers' Annual 1875

25 p leasing experiment for the benofit of the engineering profession formed my p rincipal sensations. Our trip was spiced with . certain itnd imminflnt ae.nget, but we could, most of trS, have dispensed with the fl a vourin g . r e adily enough, I fancy. We were met by a oava.loade of horsemen, carriage and �ther . evidences of the enterprise of Ba.thurat. . We had & drive · of five iniles before we could · res.eh . Bathmat� but . the tedium was beguiled by the strains of a band that bad been specially engaged to do us musical honour for that night only. , I t was an agreeable journey, with only one dr a w · b a. ck . The laws of Ne,v Beuth Wales forbid the sale of refreshments on the rail� wr1,y Hnes1 and we were verydry. One wag went so far as to obseirve with m.. timed levity, that it had made 11s Ba-iliirst1-u 1 1s before our time. • . • l • . THE SIXTH MATCH v. T,VENTY.-TWO OF BATHURST. , Saturday, January Slst i 1874. Bathurst �ad not been . ove r liberal either in . the use of water or of roller, and the ground, despite &tfle1:1tions on our arrival, was not calculated to inspir,e us with eonfidenoe. W. G. Graco lost the toss, and ,ve went as '' per , usu a.l ,'' whatever that may i:pean. None of the Twenty-two made double ft,g:nres, so th�t · eomments are snperfl�ous. · Nor was our batting remarkable for any sensational incidents, as , the brothers Grace scored 65 out of 104, Andrew Greenwood the only othe1· one to make �ven a decent show. In the second inni.ngs the Australians ma . d e � slightly better figure, but the total only reached 84, and the Eleven · �on · b y eight wickets. Seore·- · . · · - � : · · · ;, . .. ' ' • .
