CITY CRICKET

DULL-PLAY GOOD BATTING BY TUCKWBLL Scoring was slow at tlio Basin Reservo on Saturday, tho weather was unenticing, and generally the day's cricket was not very interesting. The feature which redeemed the play from being totally uninteresting was tho innings by Tuekwell (North Club). Tuck, well easily bent the century, scoring 137, but Smyrk, fielding for Trentham, failed on two occasions to accept catches that Tuekwell sent his way. However, i when welL set, Tuekwell batted beautij fully, and treated the bowling of Crawford and other members of the Camp ! team with the scantiest respect.
