GRAND SKITTLE MATCH. The Return Match, for £100 aside, between Messrs Reggett and Fisher, came off on Tuesday last, at Mr Bowden's, the Castle Inn, Bothwell. There were a good many persons present, including about half-a-dozen sporting gentlemen from Hobart Town, besides numerous residents in the Bothwell and Hamilton Districts. The ground was not a very good one, being short distanced and close-framed, this of course being against the player of Bucks, who, it will be recollected, was the winner of the first match at the Phoenix Hotel. There was very little betting, but that was in favour of the "Buck." Reggett started the game, but it was won by Fisher in good style, the goes being 10 to 7. The Commissariat duties had been ably discharged by the proprietor of the Castle, and a first-rate spread was laid upon the table; but the Hobart Town visitors and the successful player were constrained against their will to leave without partaking of the delicacies provided. Another challenge was made, to be closed within a month if accepted, by which the players will contend against each other for £200 aside. A new frame to be put down at Blackwells, or any other place in Green Ponds, of the usual and proper width, with a twenty-one feet distance.
