SATURDAY'S MATCHES.

There was a largo attendance at the Basin Reserve oil Saturday, when the cricket matches between Wellington and Old Boys, Potone and Phcenix, and the Gas Company and Newtown were concluded under most favourable conditions. A four-point victory was secured by the first-mentioned team in each match. . WELLINGTON V. OLD BOYS. Considerable interest was. manifested in this match (which did not conclude until a few minutes before six o'clock), Wellington's victory-by 56 runs being'deservedly popular. On tho previous Saturday, Wellington made 120 in their first innings, and .the Old Boys had compiled 54 for three wickets when stumps were drawn for tho clay. Resuming, ■the Old Boys, who wero one man short; added only 28 runs to their previous total Tljeir poor .showing was duo mainly to the niagnilicent; bowling of Hales, who secured six wickets for 29 runs. Tho number of runs at the fall of each wicket was as follows:— 1 for 12, 2 for 42, 3 for 52, 4 for 60, 5 for 62 6 for 67; 7 for 60, 8 for 81, 9 for 82, 10 for 82. Wellington declared their second, innings closed ;when they had made 78 runs for'tho loss of Jour wickets. Richardson, who was top -scorer with 44 (not out), was missed three times in the slips. Mahoney played carefully for 22, and then was foolishly run out. Naughton was well thrown out by J. P. Blacklock when he had made six runs.. At' live o'clock, tho Old Boys went in for their second innings. Their most ardent supporters could not. have expected them to compile, within the remaining. hour; 117' runs, which would have given them a four point victory, and tho question was, would .Wellington get them all out in the time and thus secure four points? or, would they have to bo content with a two point the first innings? Thanks principally to tho excellent bowling of Fisher, who secured six wickets for 19 runs, the Old Boys were all dismissed in fifty minutes for 60 runs. Tho score at tho fall of each wicket was as follows:—! for 13, 2 for 36, 3 for 37, 4 for 37, 5 for 41, 6 for 4S> 7 for 52, 8 for 55, 9 for 55, 10 for 60. J. P. Blacklock, tho top scorer, made 21. Included in his scoro was a five, obtained by; means of a hit to tho nut-field. Monoghan was dismissed in α-jiingulrir manner. Tucker, his partner, drove back hard to Hales, off whoso hand tho hall glanced on to the wicket, Monoghan being out of his crease at. the time. Tho following aro tho details:— . WELLINGTON.

The recently-promoted Potono club secured a four point win from Phoenix by tho handsome margin of an innings and one run. On the first Saturday's play Phoenix wero disposed of for the small total of 66. Pet'one replied with 180 for ■ the loss of 7 wickets, having compiled which, tho suburbanites closed their innings, in tho hope of securing a four point victory. Phoenix were sont in to bat again, but" were dismissed for 123, leaving the suburban men tho winners with an innings to spare. Phoenix started out badly in their second turn at the wickets, but Waters and Gibbes made a stand which saved tho older club from repeating the dismal exhibition given in the first innings . Gibbes batted carefully for sonio time, and then commenced to hit out. He compiled 32 before he was bowled by Barber. Waters gave tho display of the match, his 48 being tho result of clean, vigorous hitting, which appealed to tho spectators. ,TJiis batsman treated the various bowlers with scant courtesy, and sent balls over tho fence and to the boundary with a persistence that somewhat dimmed the rosy, outlook for Petone.for a time.' When, these Wo'.men had. been disposed of, however, there was very little left in the Phrenix team. Little (2J) and Hickey (8) made a short stand, but the balance of tho team was easily accounted for. Tho Petone wickets fell as follows:—1 for 42, 2 for 52, 3 for 03, 4 for 109, 5 for 134, 6 for 137, 7 for'lßo. The falling!of the Phcenix. wickets in the second innings left tho scoro as follows:—lYor 3, 2 for 12, 3 for 16, 4 for 84, 5 for 89, 6 for 94, 7 for 97, S for 116, 9 for 117, 10 for 123.
