CRICKET.

♦ THE FIRST SENIOR CENTURY. J!ID-WEEK HATCHES. The Wednesday Association opened its reason yesterday afternoon in perfect weather, and tlio wickets wore in firstclass order, iiurl iilaved admirably. 801110 good scores were nnt up, notably those by Bombardier Smith (Artillery), 110, and Urrig (Pest ami Telegraph), 90. On the otlior hand, the fielding all through war, below standard, and many chances were missed. In Ihe iralcli between Artillery and Vivian, played on No. 1 pilch, the former elcveu had a lusty afternoon at the wickets, banging up the lino score of 30!) before the last wicket was put down. The feature, of course, we-s the attractivo nn-d vigorous display Riven by Bombardier Smith. Ho Jet the bowlors know that he was there. Bailov, by hard hiltin, and helped by a tired field, put together 55 in a very .short time. Major Hughes played really pretty cricket for his 20. So far Vivian have lost ono wickea for 24. Tho encounter between Oriental and Union on No. 2 at present promises U> see a close finish. Union have a lead of 12 runs on the first innings, while Oriental h.avo lost two wickets in their second innings for 21. In this same tho bowlers rather seemed to carry too many guns for tho batsmen, and the only scores of any note were those of Soverin (Union). Gouriay, and Truscott, both of Oriental. Post and Telegraph met Rivals, and, so far, the former have thie better of tho game. This was largely duo to the capital bnttinrr of Greig, who made 90. lie gave one chance when ho was about '10. Rivals have lost six wickers for 3G runs. In the junior grade, l'ost and Telegraph defeat?*!. Chemists by five wickets. Everton (Chemists) had tho misfortune to twist his lcnco while batting, and had to retire. Y.M.C.A. had a very ea.sy win over Red Cross by an inninas and i 5 runs.
