A commencement was made on Saturday with the Wellington-Midland heat of the Senior Cnp Match. The Midlanders won tha toss, and going in to bat the last wioket did not fall until the soore stood at 170. Kirker was the only bowler whose performance was worth mentioning. The fielding of several of the Wellingtons was very good, particularly that of Crawshaw. When stumps were drawn for the day, the Wellingtons had lost two wickets for 88 runs. M'Girr was unable to plaj for the Midland Club, and the loss of his services, more particularly in the bowling department, was severely felt. Scores : — Midland.— First Innings. W.
