PETONE V. VICTORIA COLLEGE. The Potone and Victoria College teams were pitted against each other on No. 1 wicket, Basin Eeserve. The former team were tho first to bat, and after a somewhat inglorious start (3 for one) they hit round freely, and amassed 'a total of 156. The chief scorers were: Senior 49, Brice 30 (who is beginning to show some of his old form, and who hit , a very pretty sixer early in the day), Dalgleish 23. Their opponents notched 57, tho only pair, to reach double figures being Monaghan 15 and Dempsey 10. Fetono disposed of the Collegians in very quick time, and returned to the wickets, but they did not do 6o well as m the former innings, The wicket was fast, and the suburbanites' took full advantage of it, but somehow Victoria College did not feel at home. The figures 'at the fall of each wicket were —Petone, first innings: 1 for 2, 2 for 3, 3 for 7, 4 for 59, 5 for 99, 6 for 125; 7 for 142, 8 for 143, 9 for 156, 10 for lfifi; second innings: 1 for 3, 2 for 3, 3 for 15.

Playing on No. 3 wicket of the Basin Re l iervo, Wellington Central took first strike, and put up 22G before the North bowlers, assisted matet tally by the ficld.sent them back to tho rJaviiion. It is true 'that-five catohes wero held, but the fielding was not up to the raaik. fumbling and slow returns being of frequeut odenrrenco. Beechy's wicket was the fifst to fall, and Laws, his partner,'plodded on, giving the - bowlers /a good' deal- of trouble. The partnership of Birch and I«iws raised' the score from 126 to 158, -and another satisfactory combination was that of Hickson and Condfiffe, which added 53. Finloysan earned applause in his catch of Bruce at deep leg, as the ball was travelling fast end took some holding.' 'Claui'r,'.Hickson,'was 'caught by ,'ils jIIW/' «.« lan* fioJd, WilTie.

HUTT. \' ;.i' ':• Judging by the first day's play and its result, Hutt are likely to agairi'suffer defeat. East A, batting on a fast wicket, put up 218, the veteran Tucker falling only 9 short of his century. Tucker was,, no doubt, the hardest nut that Hutt bowlers have had to crack this season. He went in third man, when the game was looking only "middling" for East,'and his partnership i with. Mahoney raised the score from, 56 to 168. Mahoney played with'caution, returning many balls to the bowler, but Tucker threw timidity to : the winds,. and hit all deliveries, with delightful impartiality. Seven bowlers tried to breakup the combination, and the seventh succeeded. Pilcher sent:' down- a.-ball apparently simple, but in its simplicity lay. its cunning.'for Mahoney tried to with a half-stroke and- failed—an ominous click was heard and the ofPstump fell. But Tucker still held the crease-and seemed invulnerable. He was rapidly approaching the century, and had given '■ no chances.' They had tried him with fast balls, they had tried him with break balls, they had. tried'him-with'lobs. It was all the same, up;went the willow and the ball .had been pnlled-for a' single,- cut for a double, :or driven to the outfield for .four. The disheartened trundler had to pick:up the leather and begin. again: Then Eodgers sent down a ball, well pitched and straight, landing just. at the batsman's block. It was a temptation, .and Tucker yielded. He sent the ball whizzing away .to the outfield, and the bowler smiled at the success of his artifice as.Wilson ran, and, with sure hand,, took the catch. That was practically the end of Easfs innings, for.though M'Gill and Hales struck oat: lustily, the last wicket:fell shortly after Tucker's; In batting, Hutt were as unfortunate, as-'they had been inbowling,'. for none ■ seemed ' able. to withstand Gibbers attack;' When stumps were drawn the suburban team had six wickets down for;-: 39, runs. The'wickets on each-side fell as follow -.— East-A: 1 for 3, 2 for 34, 3 for '56; i for 168, 5 for 177, 6 for 191, 7 for 199, 8 for:200, 9.for-203, alKout for 218.
