CRICKET.

N.S.W. v. ashburton. HOME TEAM COLLAPSES. due match between .New SouMi A\ aie.~ and Ashburt;in t'ountv was contin'i'' I '- yesterday in beautiful weather. IK' 'visitors gave a sparkling di.-play ot cricket throughout their innings. Overnight some rain fell, but the v.-icke' was good. Although Hendry ami i?n ! - clifie did not score well, the sr'r:rnationals Andrews, Macartney. ::nd Bardsley, along with Kippax. pi: ; yci brilliant cricket. The running between the wickets was superb, and ijui'o a lot was taught the local team in this department. Mullarkey, the tail >!• George batsman, pluved forcing cricket right through his innings, and although he gave one chance he did not make a serious mistake until he jumpe l .: out to hit Milliehamp and missed. Macartney's was perhaps the most br l !- liant innings seen on the ground. <!'' scored all round the wicket, and "put the century behind, him in 02 minutes. Ilia leg and off strokes wore superb, and brought forth applause from the enthusiastic, spectators, of whom there were nearly .1000 present. Warren Bardsley also gave an enjoyable display, all his shots being timed perfectly, especially on the leg side. Kippax was very forceful, and scored a six and five fours in a total of 3i-' runs. .Vine Ashburton bowlers took a turn at the crease, and F. Burns came out with the best ligures. At one stage the bowlers were hit ail round (he lield, nine overs from three different bowlers producing 117 runs, including 10 fours and two sixes. The Holding generally was goud, but Fryer was especially brilliant.

Ashburton collapsed badly in its second innings. which only produced 03 runs. The bowling appeared no more difficult than in the first innings, but perImps flic big day's fielding told on l!ie batting powers ot' the various players. Andrew's continually had flic batsmen tangled. He varied his pace and flight, and came out with the excellent figures of seven wickets for 52 runs. Hendry kept the runs down, and was getting an occasional nasty bump off the pitch. At three minutes past 1 welvo Hendry and Mullarkey continued tho New (South Wales innings. Hendry faced Burns, and placed him for a brace and a single. Muliarkcy lifted his first ball towards third man for a single. Five came from this over. Ilendry then faced Chapman, n medium-paeo oflbrcak bowler ;jnd the first ball lie placed to leg for a single. Both men placed the ball neatly for singles. Off the seventh ball Hendry attempted to hook Chapman, and was clean bowled. 47 —3 —-11. 'Jiatclifl'c joined Mullarkey, who was playing beautiful cricket. He hooked a short ball to Burns to leg for four, bringing 50 up. Off the next ball Mullarkey lifted Burns, but the ball fell safe, and liatclifl'e lifted one through tho slips for a single. Eleven runs were scored off tho over. Tho first ball in Chapman's next over nearly yorked Mullarkey. A pretty four to fine leg put .New South Wales past 60. The ■wicket was inclined to bump slightly at the eastern end, causing the batsmen to watch Burns closely. A pretty shot through slips 'was returned very fast from third man by McGregor,, and Katclifl'e had to do his best to beat; the ball, which shattered liis stumps on the full. Seventy was hoisted with a two to the on off a short ball from Chapman. RatelifTe, who was driving well, sent a fast shot to the boundary, which Tasker badly missed at mid-off. The rate of scoring was fast, a feature being the number. of singles run. for short hits.' The first ball of Chapman's next over was a beauty, and clean skittled Batcliffe. 8.1—4. —19. At this stage Chapman had taken two for 19 in three overs.

Andrews, the incoming batsman, drove Chapman for a neat single, and later hit a pretty boundary on the leg side. Drcnnan relieved Burns, aiifl-his fifth ball, a short one, Mullarkey slammed to the leg boundary. Andrews brought 100 up after 66 minutes' play with an uppish one in front of point, and .just out, of reach. Andrews, after settling down, was timing perfectly and running some brilliant singles. Mullarkey lipped one into the slips, butFryer could not quite reach it. Mullarkey continued to punish the loose stuff." Chapman also sent down a lot of short stuff which the batsmen promptly despatched to tho boundary. Mullarkey reached his half-century with a pretty drive to long off. Tusker relieved 'Drcnnan, but Andrews pasted loose balls past cover. The first bye was registered against Brosnan after 100 runs had been scored. Burns relieved Chapman at the east end, but the batsmen played him confidently. A fast return from slips struck Brosnan in the chest, but did not injure him. Burns then sent down a, very bumpy one which cleared Andrews and the wicket-keeper's head and went for four byes. Mullarkey brought 140 up with a' beautiful leg glide to the boundary off Tasker. Tasker continued to send down short stuff, which the batsmen placed all round the Held. A hard drive to cover was beautifully fielded by Millicliamp, and the local skipper received a round of applause. _ Andrews continued his brilliant placing, and brought 150 up when the luncheon adjournment was taken. On the resumption of play Tasker opened to Andrews, and tho last ball of the over he glided beautifully to the fine-leg boundary. The Petersham batsman was giving a great display of clean, crisp batting which the spectators thoroughly enjoyed. S. Willis and Owen took the field in place of Chapman and Iveeley. Off Tasker's bowling Andrews punched the ball hard, and Nicoll and Drcnnan both missed possible chances of stopping it on its course to the boundary. Mullarkey brought the total to 170 with a sweet ]prr glide to the boundary, which he followed with a sharp single. The running between the wickets was perfect. Oil Burns's bowling Andrews lut the ball hard to cover, where Owen fumbled it, and making a wonderful recovery h u juggled the ball and finallv helcl it,' amidst rounds of applause and laughter. 17o—3 —15. Shortly afterwards Macartney Juted the ball" near forward silly point, but it fell perfectly sate. Burns was showiniT improvement in his length, and the batsmen treated him with a certain amount of respect. Fryer relieved Tasker at the western end, and varied his pace, but the balls were inclined to be, short. Mullarkey was placing beautifully and beating the fieldsmen everv time. Twenty minutes alter the resumption of play a ve ryshower of rain commenced to fall. One hundred and ninety was hoisted with tour bves, and two balls later Macartney taoped one to leg for a winch Millicliamp increased by one tor an overthrow. Mullarkey brought -00 up with a drive behind point to the boundary. The runs were scored in 11minutes. Macartney lapped tho ball to forward leg for a but Nicoll's return was over the ■wicketkeepers head, and the score was increased to three. Owen relieved Burns, •uid sawdust was taken out. for the bowlers- Eotll batsmen continued to

score smartly but the fielding was good. MuJarkey brought 220 up with :l line nit to the leg boundary, and next ball lie hit to the boundary behind point, bringing i U3 score to 100 in 122 minutes. }ji? then opened out, and verv shortly —lO A\a.s hoisted ir!l :t solid nit, to leg. Mullarkey was scoring at a phenomenal rate, having put on 18 cat of the 20 runs scored after he had gained nis century. The rain then commenced to fall heavily, and the players withdrew from the lie Id for ten inin-

On resuming. Macartney hit to the leg boundary and brought 200 up with a drive past mid-osT, thus passing Ashburton s total with live wickets in hand.

tours came with great regularity, and "i 0 was soon hoisted, 20 runs being scored in rive minutes. 19 being oft' Owen's over. Xieoll relieved Fryer, and Mullarkey promptly despatched mm to the boundary past, long-off. 'I he third ball went .to the same 'place, where Willis could not quite stop its iiight. Macartney hit Nicoll for six. and followed it with two more boundaries on the leg side, 23 runs coming from the over.. Milliehamp then took the ball from Owen, and his iirst went to the boundary past third man. AVit-h his next he clean bowled Mullarkey, who ran out to him for six. 2DS—C — 133. The St. George crack had batted brilliantly, and was at the wickets for .1-15 minutes. Warren Bardsley. the Western Suburbs left-hander, ioolt his place. Ofi Nicoll's bowling Macartney was very aggressi\ e. He hooked him to leg, but skied the next ball over cover-point's head to !!ie hound,'try. bringing 310 up. Beautifully placed off and leg (.1 rives soon took the score to 100 past the local total. Fifty runs were scored in 20 minutes. Macartney lifted Xicoll lor his second si\", this time round to leg. The next ball rattled the pavilion pickets. Macartney hit Milliehamp beautifully to the on boundary, and the next ball went for four byes. The bowling was losing its stiug fast, and 'he spectators thoroughly enjoyed the brilliant batting. Miliichamp then tried another change, and put McGregor on at the west end. Both batsmen jumped into the bowling, but the fielding remained solid, especially that of Fryer. Macartney was batting brilliant!), and the held spread out. The two batsmen sneaked singles. Macarfcney brought his century up with a six and a single off Milliehamp. The next ball kicked oil' Bardslgy's handle, and Brosnan just failed to effect a catch. Macartney scored his century in. G7 minutes. The next ball he attempted to hit for six again, and Fryer brought off a brilliant catch right on the boundary. 370—7—100.

Kippax joined Bardsley, and. the two internationals went in for fast scoring, Kippax shot one to the line-leg boundary in great style." Three hundred and ninety was telegraphed at 3.45, with some smartly-run singles. Kippax was treating the spectators to some great shots. He brought 400 up with fine shots to leg. The runs were scored in 190 minutes. W. Drcnnan took the ball from Mi Hi champ, and Bardsley scored a single from the first deliver}. Kippax hit the next ball to the onbound ary for six, bringing 420 up. Bardsley then placed the ball through the slips past third man to the boundary. and t.hc next one "was sent to long on, bringing 430 up. Macartney declared the innings closed nt 3.50, with tho total at 433 for seven -wickets. Ashburton, with a deficit of 170 runs, opened its second innings at; 4.10. Iveelcy and Chapman were the opening batsmen, the former facing Andrews. Both batsmen played confidently, but facing Hendry, Keelcy put the second ball to Mailey in the slips. 11—1 —9. Nieoll, the incoming batsman, wa? cautious, but Chapman scored off a couple of nice shots on the leg side. Hendry was sending them down fast to Chapman, who slopped one with his fingers, receiving a painful hit. Chapman then glided Hendry prettily through the slips to third man for a single, and Nieoll blocked out the remainder of the over. Pacing Andrews, Chapman hooked him hard to forward square leg. The stroke, though uppish, was very safe. The next ball he drove into the deep field ,i| single. Nieoll, facing Andrews, snicked the ball off the euge of his bat into Hendry's hands at short slip. 18—2 —• 0.

Burns took his place at the crease. Chapman was now butting very confidently to Hendry, but good fielding stopped possible scoring shots. Off the second last ball of the over he lifted Hendry ;just out of reach of Macartney, and scored a single. Andrews kept Chapman quiet with his "bosie" ball, but occasionally Chapman would attempt a hit,, which did not connect. Chapman was clean bowled with a "bosie" off the ;iinth ball of the over,

Kcclcy, Nicoll, and Chapman all went off the ninth ball, which called forth protests. Burns drove fhe next bull from Hendry to point, r.nd a fast return saw the. newly-arrived batsman, Tasker, well out of his crease. 21—4—0.

L. Jlolford, the top scorer of the first innings, took lii s place, and played Hendry's first ball. The second lifted his off slump clean out of the ground, and the score was unchanged. 21 —5 —O.

Fryer was the incomer. Hendry was, sending down a fast ball, and an occasional kick from the pitch made him difficult to play. Andrews, bowling to Burns, varied his pace a good deal, and a risky shot behind point was negotiated successfully for ;i single. Fryer then opened out on tho bowling, and hit Andrews for four to long on. Hendry sent one to Fryer, which was well tossed up, but it missed, and cannoned off tho wicketkeeper for byes. Burns placed Hendry away behind point for a good single. Andrews was getting a lot of work out of the pitch, and a run was scored from an overthrow. Fryer hit the next ball into Kaymond Bardsley's hands, a difficult catch, which he failed to hold, and Burns sent the next ball to the boundary. Fryer again skied Andrews high to Raymond Bardsley, and the second difficult catch was dropped. Fryer was having some ineffectual hits at Hendry, but he kept the fieldsmen alert by attempting short runs. He brought 40 up a nice off drive to the boundary. Hendry continued to bump. Fryer was struck in the side with a rising ball. In the next over Burns stepped out to Andrews, but Katclifte did not gather the ball quick enough.' Fryer skied Andrews to Kippax at cover, where a good catch was taken. 44 —6—lo. Drcnnan then faced Andrews, and was badly beaten with one from the leg. Burns placed Hendry neatly to third man for a single in the next over, and Drcnnan blocked the few balls he received. A bosie from Andrews was stopped by Burns with his pads, and the next ball he put into Punch's hands at point. 45 —7—5. Up to this stage Burns and Chapman were the only batsmen to shape confidently to the JN'ew South Wales bowlers.

Millicliamp, the local skipper, received a round of applause on going to the wickets, and he promptly hit Andrews to leg for three- The next ball Drcnnan skied to Warren Bardsley, who took a good catch. 49—S—0. Millichamp brought 50 up with a sweeping stroke past cover. Facing Hendry, Millichamp played a, maiden over. Owen missed Andrew's first ball and was clean bowled with his second. 50 —'J —o.

McGregor, the incoming batsman, hit Andrews's third ball to deep niid-on for a brace, and the nest ball just fell short of Kaymond Bardsley at deep long-on. The next he returned hard and low to the bowler, Andrews taking

a brilliant catch. .50—10—3. This | again was the ninth ball of the over. j Brosnan, the next batsman, played ' nicely, but Ilendry sent down a clinker j which beat hitn all the way. f>~—n—o. I Milliehamp opened out on Andrews, and ■ the bonder just missed a hard <-a!ch. | Milliehamp was badly puzzled by Andrews's bosie, but lie managed to snick one past tine slip for a brace. Again the same umpire allowed a nine-ball over, the .fifth, and three had secured wickets. Milliehamp hit Andrews to cover, and a smart return ended the : innings, AVillis being run out. j 03—12—i. | The innings lasted 73 minutes. The visitors won by an innings ami 11-1 runs.

Altogether the innings lasted 200 minutes, and the runs were scored. at a rate of two a minute. The feature of the day's play was Macartney's century, which was scored in 02 minutes. lie did not give one chance. He cut and off-drove with I vigour. His play on the leg side was masterly. Mullarkey took few chances throughout his innings which was marked bv fine piay to the on side. Ho would continually place the ball out of reach or not quito up to a fieldsman and run a snappy single. Generally his play behind the wicket on both the on and off side was marked with brilliancy, and his driving was perfectly timed. Andrews and Warren Bardsley also treated the spectators to cricket rarely been on the oval.

I'lie bowling throughout was not brilliant. Bums came out with the best iigurcs, but at times lie scut down a lot of short stuff which the visitors relished. Drcnnan could not strike a length, and. Chapman, after bowling three good overs for 19 runs, com-, mrnced sending down looso stuff, Ins hint three overs costing 23 runs for one wicket. H. B. Millicliamp just kept a length with a nice turn from the off, but \allhough he upset the big partnership between Mullarkey and Macartney he was expensive. The fielding, taken right through, was satisfactory. Fryur was on the move all the time, and was worth lii.s place for fielding alone. Ho secured two of the three catches. The local team could make no headway against the bowling in the second innings, and the. effort was decidedly feeble ai'tee the line showing of the iirst innings. Chapman and Burns were the only players to show any confidence, and they were the top scorei s. A rot set in after the second wicket, and the third, fourth, and fifth wickets fell without any alteration to the score. Andrews puzzled the batsmen with Ins spin and flight. Ori-cu just watched the "bosie" come in from the off and take his stump. t Hendry received a cortain amount ot assistance from the wicket, and at times lie bumped badly. Out or the eleven pvers, live were maidens.. The Visitors thoroughly enjoyed their stay in Ashburton. On Tuesday evening 'they were entertained at Mr E F !Nicoll's beautiful residence, ana last, night they were the guests of various local players and Mr .Nicoll, while an invitation to the local pictures was extended to the team. The team leaves for the ooutn to-d-iv at 10.25 a.m., and they will play Ota go on Friday, Saturday, and Monday. BOYS' ASSOCIATION. A meeting; of tho executive of tho Canterbury Boys' Cricket Association was held at tho Technical College last c\ening. Present: ilr C. J. GoWstouo (chairman), Hev. Brother Marcellin, Messrs H. Stewart, J. N. Tait, J. li. Prcndergiist, and G. S. A. Biltelii't (hon. secretary). Correspondence was received in connexion with a fifth-grado player taking- part in a seventh-grade mutch. It was explained that the act was duo k> ignorance, and as tho result of the fame could not atfect the competition, the executive resolved to take no action in tho mat;**. The Competitions Committee reported Jiat ov.in" to several unfortunate mistakes on the part "of the two clubs involved, the _ match between Y.iI.C.A. a-nd St. Bede's College in the fifth-grade had not been played. As next Saturday these teams were to meet, the committer recommended that tne winners should !;o credited with double points. Tho suggestion was endorsed. Jit was resolved that no games should be clayed on February 23rd. 'Tho kroek-om. cxjinoetillon will commence on February Istn, when tli« scnii-Cnals wilt be played. The finals arc to take place on February 22nd. Xj: connexion v.'ith. the ccriclusicu o: tho competition it v/a-s resolved that, as a. corn-pk-te double round could not be finished by February 15th, points would be allotted for byes if" necessary. It wjs resolved that these noinis should bo aJlotted in proportion to thoso already scored by tho particular teams.

The Rev. Brother liarceliin stated that several Boys' Association players had played for Canterbury Cricket Association teams during: Iho adjournment. He moved that any such games should not effect a player's status in the Boys' Association,

The motion Wis carried unanimously

Tbc secretary of the Wellington Boys' Cricket League wrote suggesting two icpre-

sentntivc games, one "tinder 18," and one "under 16." The letter also suggested that both games should bo played in Wellington, and that the latter should be a. shield mulch.

The secretary \va3 instructed to reply. stating that the Canterbury toys' Association no longer possessed an "under 18" grade, and that it Wellington wished to challenge for iho under 1G shield the gamo would lmve to take place in Christchurch. Saturday, Maveli 29th, and Monday, March 31st, were suggested as dates for tho match.
