CRICKET.

INTER-UNIVERSITY MATCH. The annual cricket niatch, Canterbury Collego v. Victoria College, ,'was - commenced yesterday afternoon, on the Wei-' lington College groundl The weather was ideal, and a largo number of ladies /•watched the play.: The visitors ,took first strike'on a good wicket; and 225' went up on tho telegraph., before the ./last* man was dismissed. King topped the century, and two or; three of tho other Canterbury men made presentable-scores. King played a. sound and patient innings in .running up 101,- marred only by one quick chance in tho slips, when ho had reached 30. Tho. Victoria ;,College . bowling was hardly satisfactory, bjit an - improvement was noticeablo as the afternoon wore on. ■After the four o'clock adjournment, when the ladies dispensed tea, the trundlers snowed somewhat better form. The innings of tho homo team opened -dismally; Foster and De la Mare being dismissed jWith a paltry couplo apiece. Dempsey and Honaghan became associated, however, and played out time.
