The annual match between the Ghrisirhunh Boys' High School and the Christ's College first elevens was commenced yestorday at the High School grounds, Straven road. The weather promised well in the morning, l"' 1 a cold easterly, increasing in force during the afternoon, made conditions decidedly unpleasant, especially for the fieldsmen. J'ig' l School had no tail to their batting side, anil each player showed a good selection of stroke* and plenty of vigour. The fielding was good, and the College men did not. leave many gal'?. T. A. Birch and A. I*. Cobden were Ihe lop scorers. The Play. W. A. iladlee (captain) and W. O. Cull wont in first to face T. A. Harpur and I>P. Smith, a left-hand slow bowler and a righthand medium pace bowler respectively. Slow scoring for a time built up a good foundation for the innings, although there was nothing brilliant in the early stages. W. JByrne, a right-hand slow bowler, replaced Smith for a while and took the first wicket, Gill's, for 10. Gill, who had scored 19, was caught by Harpur at squtfre-leg when his side's total was 45.

B. F. .Stephens not his first wicket lbw when ltadlee, who had scored Lil out of 67, got we)) in front to a pitching ball. Soon after R. F. Cook was caught in the slips off Stephens's bowling, making the tola! three wickets for 77.If. f*. Cobden, batting with I'. K. Waller, was slow-ly opening out. and. beforo he finished, bad scored seven boundaries. The running between the wickets, which lacked briskness and decision, had also sharpened up. Cobden reached 50 when lie had been in for 56 minutes, but after another single he wo* run out when taking n risk for a two. Four wickets had fallen for 125. E. A. Vincent, a le/l-liand batsman, was left in partnership with Walter, the latter increasing his score fairly steadily until he was bowled bv Harpur for 21. Vincent scored .16 before he was caught by Harpur off Stephens. He played stolidly and carefully, lashing out, however, for three consocutive fours. E. Munt did not last long, and hit a fast one into the bowler's hands after reaching 6. Nolan's wrs the. next wicket to fall. He was caught and bowled by Harpur after a bright and interesting innings, including four boundaries. E. Mcuziqs and T. A. Birch commenced a steady partnership, playing up well (o fast deliveries and making Ihe most of the safe halls. Birch. batting steadily and safely since early. afternoon, was Btill holding his end up well at half-past four, exploiting the slips for most of hie scoring strokes. Men/.ies played up to him well, striking out now and again to good effect. The score reached 250 after 257 minutes' play. Birch made 50 after 95 minutes at the crease. IJfensics was caught, in the slips , off Scott by W. Byrne after a good 17, J. 0. Rankin replacing liim. He did not last lone, nnd was bowled by a slow break from Alexander. Birch carried, his bat for 50, making the total 285. ' - " ■ J*. , anfl F. X. Fenwick opened for College at' about 5 o'clock, to Cobden and Menxies. Byrne lost his wicket to Cobden after scoring 2. .V. P. Wilder was (he incomer. Fenwick skied one, but Nolan dropped an easy catch, five minutes later Wilder went out lbw to a bumping ball from Menzies. W. J. Byrne followed. Fenwick was finding Cobden troublesome, and he had several narrow escapes. Soon after, stumps were drawn owing to the failing light. Scores:—

St. Andrew's found themselves in a comparatively sound position _at the end of the first day's play in the annual game against John McGlashan College, which started yestciday morning at Strowan. The liome eleven made 155 in the first innings, compared with the 32 compiled by the visitors, and had scored- 46 runs for .the loss of one wicket in their second innings, at slumps. The wicket and ojitfield were fairly fast, but a. cold easterly wind blew in the afternoon.

Low scoring characterised play throughout the day, and bowlers' figures indicated that tiio wicket was playing to their advantage. St. Andrew's opened modestly and unsteadily against a good attack, three wickets failing last Welsford and Symes failed to leach' double figures, und it .was not until Cropp batted that the College score began to mount appreciably. Ciopp's advent saw a welcome Bleadying-up. Shand and P. Williamson were inter partnered in brisk batting which added 26 to the beard before E. Stevepson put down Williamson's wicket with a fine tbiowin from cover-point. Shand miss-hit a ball was taken in the slips. K. K. Nicholls then went in and batted, first with Jones and then with Dougall, continuing after "the luncheon adjournment. He improved his side's position materially, playing practically every bowler forcefully, and at the close of St. Andrew's innings bad 39 runs to s his ciedit. Dougall carried hiß bat for 18. J. P. Bell took, four of the vr.ckctß for 22 runs.

The visitors opened fairly, but a rot set in after about the sixth wicket, the McGlasA fln o J leD ,,' )e ' n n unable to stand up to E. A. Shand s bowling. Sixty-four runs were im at the sixth wicket, but the remaining ratsmen added only 28 runs. The innings wa.i closed for 92 runs. Shand accounted for hve of the wickets for 23 runs; Welsford rf?iT iT? for 6 ' and .Nieliolla two for 28. JJie fi ™dsmen gave good assistance, five 6f the Jonn McGlashan cloven being caught out.

St.. Andrew's went in for their-second strike at about 5.13 p.m.. and the opening men "ave a much-improved display of batting. Although Henderson went out fleg before wicket when only eight runs had come off his bat Welsford and Symes, who followed Henderson, played brightly and were still in at eturaps. The home men had then scored •16 runs. , . The game will be continued to-clsy, play starting at 10.50 a.m. The scores were as follows: ■ ST. ANDRKW'S COLLEGK. First Innings. A. J.
