A LADIES CRICKET MITCH.

"A Male Cynic," m the Pi ess, desoribea a ] ladies' cricket mutch m Luuonater Park on (Saturday as m " riotous parody on the game, calculated to make a b»:arn>uj's hair stand on cod, and give him nightmare of the worst type for a month." The iadies were ail cl&d m while, red ribbr.ius distinguishing one eleven, and yellow ribbons the other. Tbe "Cyaic" goes on : —ladies are good at tennis, they sometiaiea ride we!l, and a few have been kt>own to excel at. billiards, but at or cket, if Satuiday's match is any critoinn, they are a deid failure. Perhaps it waa waut of practice, or perhaps skirts, or the natural inaptitude of the sex to hit or throw straight. AtyhdW, the yellow and red ribboned team who did battle on Saturday di-pUyed little "cricket ability." The umpire* must have had a trying ;ime. They had to adjudicate generally on matters ail round When the b .11 had been secured by the wieketkeeper and was thrown buck to the bowler, the latter sometimes missed it. On tuoh occasions energetic batawomen attempted to sneak a run. 4> Btop ! Stop !" yelled the umpire, " you can't get a run for that!' This waa an instance of the super vision he had to exercise over the game. As Another example, some poitioo of one lady's nttire stopped a ball which was going straight for the wioket ""How's that?" asked the bowler. " Out," said the umpire with a note of apprehension m his tone. "Nasty old thing," murmured the young lady, marching off m high dudgeon to join her companions. That umpire was deserving of pity and the Victoria Cross. The position of umpire at a ladies' cricket match is not an enviable one. Yet somehow the umpires on Saturday seemed to like it. After the player above referred to had been given " out," another yellow ribboned young lady strolled on to the crease. She held her bat m one spot, righb m front of the wicket, with the heroic determination not to be tempted into moving it on any account. The bowler essayed overarm, under arm, and every-poßßible-ang!e-of-arm balls without hitting either the bat or the wicket onca. Tinally, however, a lucky shot evaded the bat and knocked off the bails. After wild rejoicing and cries of "next man m," » tall girl came m, and began [hitting hard. She punished the bowling dreadfully for about five minutes, making boundary hits —the boundaries were only about 30 yards off—one after another. Finally she went out, having more " lives "at the hands of the fielders than a cat. Somehow, though they went for it pluckily enough, none of the fielders seemed able to hold the ball, at least it was the exception. The batting, too, was decidedly flukey, the moat commendable feature about the per formances of the batswomen being their agility and nimbleness m sneaking runs for overthrows, byes, etc. Each batswoman also displayed considerable relief when " ovsr " waa called, and it became the other girl's turn to recaive the bowling. Nob that the bowling was very deadly. It savoured more of the slow and insidious, than the fast, Blap-dash style. The ladies knew the mean ing of "yorkers " and " full-pitchers," how ever, and whenever a reasonably straight ball was successfully " given the go-by," or dodged by one of the fair defenders of the wickets, there was much applause from the Bide of the field where the nine remaining members of the team were cheering on their friends to victory. After seeing Saturday's match and noting the play, it only remains for one to express the nope that the same ladies, or any other ladieß desirous of emulating their example, will nob organise a football team during the winter.

S ABIDES!*. &> WcniS .Euca lypti JSxt »-«*>*. Under the distinguished patroanga of His Majesty the King of Italy, as per communica tion made by the Minister for Foreign Affairs through the C nsul-Oeneral for Italy, ab Melbourne, Ma/eh 14, 1878. Awarded .liploma at the Amatenlam Exhibition, 1883. Acknowledged by Medical Clinics and Universities all over the Giobe. There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract m the market, products of sitnplu distillation forming crude resmouu oils. In order that these crude oils may not bo taken, OUR PURE VOLATILE EU(JAL\TTI EXTRACT, which ia recognised by the medioal division of the FruasianQovernnisnt to be of perfectly pure origin, as per iaformation forwarded to us through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, we state :~ It is proved by testa by the Medical Clinioa of the Universities at Bonn and GreifswaUi, Prussia, and reported by Dr. Sohulz.Profeesor of Parmacology, at Bon, and Professor Dr. Mossier, Director of the Medical Clinics at Greifswald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen and freed of acid?, resinous and other substances, adherent to primary distillation, will develope the sanative qualities proper to the plant Allorude oils, or so oallod Eucalypti Extracts are to be classed according to the named authorities, among the turpendnee, which are abandoned long since as an Internal medicament. These crude oils, or bo called Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible :— 1 By their deficiency m pungent odour— which our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extract develops most freely through its surplus oxygen. 2 By their alcoholic thin and mobile appear ance being reduced m specifio density through the presence of acids. 3 By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resins and tennatea. If these crude oila, so-called eucalypti extracts, are applied by mistake m cases of oroup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal nflamations, dysentery, etc., the con sequences are most appalling. For safety sake ask always for SANDER & SON'S EUCALYPTI EXTRACT. — Sandhurst), Victoria, Australia. SANDBB & SONS.
