Cxicket.—The cricket match played on Saturday resulted in another victory for the match team. The veterans were strengthened considerably by the addition of A. L. Liddell W. C. Hobkirk and R. F. Quirk, whilst the match team was weakened by the absence of Wyatt. L. H. Davies, Captain of the veterans, won the toss and sent their opponents to the bat. T. A, LePage retired for four runs from a swift and well delivered ball from Johnson. He was followed by J. A Longworth, who, along with Haythorne, did some destructive batting. The latter, after running up a secure of 27 runs, was clean-bowled by Liddell. Longworth having succeeded in getting top score, 29 runs, was caught out well by Dr. Warburton. V. Longworth scor- ed 17 and G. Lepage 19. Some other good scoring was done, and the match team, after making 147 runs, gave way to the veterans. Liddell and W. Anderson went to the bat against the swift bowling of Ings and V. Longworth, who were in splendid form. Ings soon disposed of Anderson, and Liddell followed shortly after being clean- bowled by Longworth. Hobkirk made the only stand of any consequence for the veterans. By careful play he managed to hold his wickets for a considerable tine, though runs came few and far between, Quirk and Davies also played carefully, the former being unfortunately run out. The veterans were all disposed of for 25 runs. The match was much the best of the season. Great improvement was noticeable in bat- ting, bowling, and fielding, on both sides. There were a large number of spectators

resent who manifested much enthusiasm

in the game.

The Lunenburg Election.

The Lunenburg, N.§S., Election has been voided on account of irregularity in the polling.

A special to Halifax Herald, August 3rd says :—I!n Kaulbeck vs. Keefler to-day upon the scrutiny, the ballots for three polling places which had been rejected by the County Court judge because they were not in separate parcels in the boxes, were added by Judge Rigby. The respondent raised objection that at two of the polling sections the ballots were not installed, but the petitioner's counsel showed that the counterfoils had been installed as in the Jenkins vs. Brecken case, and they were allowed. At New Ross, however, where the petitioner had a majority, the counter- foils had never been detached, and there were no initals upon them. The judge ex- pressed a strong opinion against the recep- tion of those ballots. Petitioner’s counsel then moved to exclude the ballots at Con- querall, where the respondent had a larger majority than petitioner’s majority at New Ross. They showed that the ballots at that section which had been allowed by the county court judge had no initals on them or on the counterfoils, and were in the same condition as those at New Ross.
