CRICKET.
WEDNESDAY MATCHES; TIIO last series of matches in the Wednesday Senior Cricket Championship' was set' down to be played on the Basin Reserve yesterday. Owing, however, to tho Union's sub-: stantio.l margin of points' over ' the other,' teams making that club, tho certain 1 winners of the championship, very little interest has' been attached to tho games of late. Yesterday afternoon only two 'teams—or, to be correct, one team and a half—turned up. These were Oriental and George and George. Owing to tho wet weather, the wicket was unfit for play,, but tho enthusiasts - decided not to- forego 0110 of tho .'few remaining, chances'.of wielding tho willow this season. .Oriental,' who could only; muster seven players, went to the i wickets first; and compiled 23 runs, of which Burley secured more than half. Georgo and George, for. the loss of five wickets, .reached the substantial score of 141. Laws had a day out, and when play ceased ho was. not out for 60. Paul, by stoadj play, notched 29, while Davis and M'Fadgen also contributed a fair share to tho total. Tho following aro the scores:— \ .' . "ORIENTAL. '• First Innings.
