CRICKET.

[Br Lonqstop.]

One of the most pleasant matches that have taken place this season was player! la-t Saturday on the Oftain'a ground, when tbe Wanderers played the Okain's Club. Tha former team wa« composed of players •

from the Akaroa and the Untied Clubs, whilst the looal club played their usual team, with the exception of E. Macintosh nnd R. Hait'ey. Macintosh won tbe tons from Holbert.and elected to bet first, but oo going iv a remarkable collapse ocoured, the whole side being dismisßtd for th* , paltry pcore of 21. Chaplin had. the wonderful ana.yui.of fix wickets for eeven roos. Tt is only fair »o state, however, that (h>»t» of the be*t Okain'e batsmen o»el with the very bad lock to be bowled off tbeir puds. The-WanrWra 'hen went in and compiled 80, J. Odridge playing a very useful innings of 24. Thin player bae considerably improved tbis season, and is now a very difficult batsman to dien\i«tt F. Leonardo wee alao responsible foi a nicely played 10; and Helbeit also reached double figuea. Ware and Ora™ ham shared the bo* ling honours. Okain's, being 59 runs to the b»d, then went in for the B»cond time* and on this occasion fared ranch heitor, pelting up the good score of 91. Mcintosh played a capital linings for 22, well set when be bad the roinrortUne to be run on?. G, Mason again showed what a useful member of the Okain's Club be it by aooring 20. His innings wrs *1 the more praiße— worthy as he wan considerably indisposed, A. Mason blbo played well for fo, whilst L.. Mason and Coffin m«de a plucky stand . towards the end of the inningo, Chaplin »i»«in bowled wall for the Wanderers. Requiring 33 to win, the Wanderer*started their rscond inning?, and made the rona for the lot 9of three wicker*. Bmce (15) b'ting very nicely, wbiht Chap>in was not ooi st the finish* with 10 to his credit. QkainV, however, in used the bowling of G. Matron in the second inning*, be being not well enough to play. The vhi'ore were most botpitably entertained, and left for home unaDirooaa in declaring that the onting bad boon a raoft enjoyable one.
