CRICKET.

HUTT AND COLLEGE The Hutt wicket had been improved for tho conclusion of tho Hutt-Victona College match on Satuiday Hutt's fust innings started badlj, and remained so up till the fall of tho louith wicket, when Staples began to punish tho boiling. He was joined shortlj by Brice, and both men livened up matters, "boundaries" becoming frequent. Bnco sent one right out of the giound for six. Staples was e\ontually bowled by ilonaghnu, aud letned with 31 to his credit, I whili Brice secured 10, not out Monaghan's bowling was something to bo reckoned with, and ho was seen quite at his best. Sanndcis has not jot ieco\crcd from the effect of a stiain. Following on, Hutt compiled 77 lor seven wickets, when stumps were diawn. This time four Hutt men secured double figmes, these including Staples, 21 not out, and Brice, 16. The bowling of Sanmlcis was much better in this innings than m tho first innings, and at ono stage it looked like a three-point win for College. However, when tune was colled. Staples and Bennett were still in, and College thuo won by 100 runs—a two-point win VICTORIA COLLEGE. First innings 108 BUTT.' , First Innings. Harris 11, b. Saunders 2 Bennett, 3122, 1.b.w., b.
