THE CITY CRICKET.

AN OFF DAY. INNINGS/DETBAT FOR NORTH. Broken as ' this' season's crTcket has • been, it was subjected to still another j break on Saturday, when players were obliged to stand off ; the Basin Reserve, J to make way 'for the .annual gathering of « the W.A.A.C. i Out at Pctonp, howener, the local eleven completed their match with Wellington North, winning- by the handsome margin j of an- innings. Nunn and Southgate, who were Petone-'s not out men, opened brightly, but Southgate, after he had ; added nine, was out to a good one- from Findlay. Nunn, however, went right ' through and finished with a score of 132 not out. He .gave one chance during the second day's play, but taking his innings right through, his play was of ( a very fine order. Brice was not present, owing to illness, but M'Kenzie took Ins place with the ball, and bagged seven of North's wickets for 30 runs. ' .North's second attempt yielded 129, but they failed to pass Petone's one innings : score, and the suburban men thus secured a three-point win. .Despite the "rain which fell on Friday, the wicket was good.
