SATURDAY'S MATCHES. Beautiful weather was experienced for Saturday's cricket, and the wickets were iv fine order, bo the -batsmen bad the advantage, but - tho - scoring iv the Senior games was hardly up to the average.

On the opening day the United had been dismissed for 54, while Sydenham bad practically made defeat out of tho question by running up 160 for the loss of oaly four wickets, Wigley being 76 not out, and Frankish 14 not out Tbe latter only added a couple to his score before he was given out leg before wicket to Sima. Kinvig then assisted Wigley to-carry the total to 193 before the latter was given out leg before wicket, and retired with a well-played 89 against his name. - Kinvig left soon after for a freely played 27, which included five 4>, and the rest failing to make much of a stand, the innings closed for 228. The United fielding was better lb an on the first day, and OUivier bowled very well, his average for the innings being six wickets for 37 runs. In a minority of 174, the United commenced their second innings with T. D. Harmon and Fisher, F. S. Prankish and Bennett having charge of the attack. With the score at 15 the United captain was bowled, and the wickets fell at short intervals, until tbe last man was disposed of with the score at 118. Sims was top scorer with a well played 50, while OHivier and Fisher also batted well, but the others did but little against the bowling of Bennett, who secured -the good average of five wickets for 31 runs.
