Kivals) was not B begun until nearly three o'clock, tho delay J; being due to members of tho Oriental team not' appearing to itime, which, of course, a was unfair to Rivals, who had a chance r in the competition.

The Vivian eleven managed to score a two-point win over Post and Telegraph. Denipsey "(Vivian) had. the misfortune to bo caught out from a mis-hit after making G3 in good style. Caterer i was lucky to reach 61, as ho should have i been taken behind the. wickets when he whs in the thirties., Carson played a steady innings for his 59. In the Post and Telegraph team both' Thomson (retired) and' Tyrrell (not out) played free . giiihes- for their respective scores, 43 and ■ 37. ltivals were rather unlucky in. not , fetting a four-point win over Oriental. ] larroch (Rivals) played a good innings • for. his 73 not out, while M'Kenzie had the. misfortune to hurt himself while running' between wiclcets, and also to be caught out by. his club-mate (Tolhurst), who was fielding substitute.
