Chrlstchurch, December 9. What must be surely a "record" score was put up by a junior team in Thursday cricket competitions yesterday afternoon. The Australians and Lyttelton, two leading teams, were down to meet, but adverse weather conditions frightened six members of the former team, and only' five turned up.- They did fairly well in their first innings, knocking up' some 30 runs to their_ opponents' 95; but in their, second innings they produced tho magnificent total of 0, without even having a leg-bye or other extra' to assist them. Three of the team were bowled in. succession, the innings only lasting as many .minutes as the number of men in the team. : : Cricketers should cot fail to see the .■stock of cricket requisites at Lawa and Manning's, Courtenay Place.* AMATEUR ATHLETICS.
