CITY CRICKET

CRAWFORD'S BIG DAY BOWLINC RECORD AND CENTURY. Cricket at tho Basin Reserve on Saturday was inado interesting chiefly by t.lio excellent play of J. Crawford. Ratting, for Trenthani, Crawford ran up 103, and howling against tho East eleven lie toolc eight wickets for eight runs. His howling performance was a remarkably flue one, hut he was lucky to do so well with tho bat. He. was dropped at four and on three other occasions before ho readied seventy. However, ,he batted very attractively; but a sounder innings wns that of Lusk (71). North won from Petone by eight wicketß. Petone made only 06 in the first innings, and, following on, did much better in their second essay, with the. result that Nortji had to make 50 in twenty-five minutes to s secure a three-point win. They managed to do so in the last over of tho day. Details of the play follow:— TRENTHAM AND EAST. East.—First innings 128 Trentham.—First Innings. Binnie, b. Fenton 11 'Bruce, c. Condliffe, b.
