The New Zealand teachers played the Shoalhaven 'Cricket Association... With' seven wickets' ( for 169 they declared their innings-closed.

The only ,6enior . cricket match played on Saturday took' place at the Hutt, and the result was (under the-circumstances) soriiewhat of a surprise to Hutt enthusiasts. 'Wellington North, who had put • on 355 . on' the previous Saturday on a good - wicket, were ejected to make ■ things warm, 1 but Hutt. all through played a sound'innings, with the wicket de- • cidedly in favour of the bowlers. In fact, it is safe'to surmise that had the . wicket been dry the finish would have been much closer. . Staples batted very patiently''for 02. He was at the wickets over three hours, and the manner of his dismissal {[ave rise"' for comment on the . part of several spectators. Cate made his first appearance this season, and, unliko ' the Cate of last season, batted freely for 48. Brico gavo a good display with the bat. although' he gave two easy chances. He secured 46. and was brilliantly caught by Manson-at deep square-log. "Hickson (who is 6till suffering fronl a strained leg) batted nicely for 2.5. Findlay was kept continuously trundling, and' came out with a fair average. Braggo did not meet with any great success, yet he appeared to bo the most difficult bowler to play.Wellington North (first .innings) 385 Hutt.—First Innings.
