The men from the weetern anburb re- ' sambfcrJ. their uncompleted hutmgs (111 . 4at.nm& wickets}, si Devcmport, ob Satnrday, but only increaaeil.tbe totat by one. Kobinaan (tenth man) opened th* day's pfay by taking the laat two baHs of Howden's o-ver,. and scoring a single. Dacre sent down a maicJen over, and then JfeMaitt faced Howdenv Tbe 3BCt& ball of a maiden over took the tenia jweket, and ck>Bed the jnnmgi Shore went, in with three and a-ha?f ibonrs in hand, and after Ititting up 190 in lively faehion, they declared with ioor wickets down, leaving two Thonr?. and twenty numrtea for tbeir effort to diamias Pousonby. • They failed to get there by fonr -wickets, thanks ehaefly to a -very fineinning3 by tbe yonnjj eoit, ■Worker. Tne plnm of Shore's aeeonrl' innings 'was Howden T 3 display.' .His. 53* included two sixes and six fonrs, and his game waec one of powerfal sscoriog strokes,, chiefly drvrea and leg hita. Hcrwden'a form tbia year is. better than ifc for some seasons past. Prime and Howie also gave excellent exhibition.**, the former's late cutting being a featnre. Worker, who has at last been given Iris chance in tbe seniors, is the most promising colt that Ponaonby ha» produced since N. C. Snedden Wos«omerL Be is only a boy, but be has the cricket nerve, and Wβ pfay is characterised by qniefc confidence and "btjaineasiKke -methods. He joat gete bnsy, wit&otrfc any poae whatever, and with a natural instinct for tbe right stroke required for ttie particular ball he ia called on to deal wfbh. On the occasion in qneation he -nta&e 42 not out, and his only chance was a catch in tbe- otifcneld at 40.. EDEN, iA SUILIi LEAJSISG. Eden A had the win against Ueivereity -well in hand from tbe jump o» :bnt at the came time, after Player and Taylor had gat together, iSt*«y never looked like getting » tfereepowrt to, and the performance of Sn&eriand piaced tbact dhance oat of reach. iPfaryeT'e innings of 70 wae an «xcenenfc one, nmoh more free in sstyie than -U»e; lef t-ibamier -tieratlly and it inickidedi a. coaple of si%f* -Mfc in stroceeeion'off Erooke-Sni>t-ij<- Sttfiheria-nd . played a good fijEft-thrg 4ujJtu-jjß, showing a sound defence, but having tie courage to-ihit when the lvx»e h»all came 'along, and ibis 71 was a. big factor in baulking Eden of the ibig .-sran.
