CRICKET
NEWTHORPE V. KIMBERLEY- A match at cricket was played at Newthorpe on Monday, the 6th instant, between eleven of Newthorpe and the same number from Kimberley, for the championship. The contest came off on the Mount Pleasant Cricket Ground, belonging to Mr. W. Ball, the White Bull, Newthorpe. About 400 people were present to witness the contest. Newthorpe won the toss and so first handled the timber, some excellent play being shown by Messrs. W. Jackson, S.W. Wilcockson, and R.W. Wilcockson. The Kimberley bowling was excellent; and the style in which the whole of the Newthorpe players handled their bats surprised not only their opponents but also their own townsmen. The game was concluded at five o'clock, when the stumps were drawn. The Newthorpe players partook of an excellent supper, provided by Mr. W. Ball, at the White Bull, and the evening was spent in harmony. Score :-
