when he showed signs of coming to life. Thomas was partnered with Foley and runs came more ready, though at the tea interval only 141 stoodi to .Wellington s credit for the loss of four wickets. After refreshments the batting continued at a livelier rate. Foley survived an l.b.w. appeal at 68 and at 71 was missed in the slips. Thomas mishit Whyte at 40 and was easily taken by Browne. Mason and E. Mallard fell to catches by Bush to successive balls tossed up on the leg by Whyte. At 5.55 Wellington, beaten roundly on the first innings, went in again, the' four lesser batting luminaries being given the fun of a knock. By this time Old Boys had let up on the fielding, which was devil-may-care to say the least. Wellington had raised 76 for four wickets when stumps were drawn, Morgan being unbeaten at 31, of which 20 was represented in fours. Kilbirnie Wins Again. Perfect conditions again favoured the match between the championship leaders, Kilbirnie and Institute, which was continued on the Kilbirnie Recreation Ground and resulted in a win on the first innings for the home eleven. At stumps last week Kilbirnie was all out for 333 runs and Institute had two down for 61. Institute continued batting on Saturday on a very good wicket and made 260 runs in its first strike, which closed shortly before 5 o'clock. Kilbirnie batted for the next hour, making 83 runs for the loss of three wickets when stumps were drawn, winning by 73 runs on the first innings—a five-point victory. Institute started with R. McLean not out 20 and R. Crook followed A. Lang, who went out to a doubtful catch off the last ball bowled on the previous Saturday. McLean and Crook batted slowly but steadily to bring 100 on the board in 45 minutes, having scored 39 runs between them. McLean was then bowled by Handscomb after scoring 41 in forceful style. He hit six 4’e. Crook continued brightly with J. Scott, who was not scoring as freely as usual. After a series of boundary shots Crook wasc caught when his tally stood at 35. His was a bright exhibition in an otherwise slow game. Scott plodded along to 42 before being caught behind. The other batsmen found difficulty in scoring at all freely and the match became dull until M. Henderson and M. Marsh, the last two batsmen, started knocking the bowling about. This last wicket partnership, which realised over 30 runs in about as many minutes, provided a bright finish to Institute’s slow-scoring innings. Henderson hit five 4’s off Handscomb, mostly to fine leg, his total being 27, and the team's total, 260, which took 212 minutes to compile. R. Allen found the wicket to his liking and did some fine spin work with the ball to secure five wicket© for 44 runs off 19 overs, six of which were maidens. Kilbirnie went to the crease to fill in time, and H. F. Rice and H. Handscomb started scoring so slowly that at the end of the first half-hour they had only a dozen runs on the board. At stumps Rice was unbeaten for 26, Handscomb was out for 25, and Kilbirnie stood at three down for 83. C. Burke took two wickets off 10 overs (two maidens) for 21 runs. University Bats Well.

When University resumed its first innings with 95 runs on the book for the loss of four wickets in reply to Midland’s 192, some bright batting exhibitions were given. The most aggressive batsman was W. Tricklebank, who batted with precision and forced the pace to rattle on 61 runs in 54 minutes. The not-out pair from the previous week, T. A. Harpur and J. A. R. Blandford, carried on well for a time, taking the total to 136 before Harpur lost his wicket as a result of a bad call. Blandford skied a ball to M. Randall off the bowling of J. Fortune 17 minutes later, to be sent back to the pavilion with 46 runs to his credit. Tricklebank, who had joined Blandford on the dismissal of Harpur, quickly settled down to solid batting, gathering runs all round the wicket. He saw both T. G. Ralfe and B. A. Paetz come and go in quick succession. nnd after his wicket had been skittled by a good length delivery from Fortune, W. F. Vietmeyer and J. R. Stevens became associated in a sound last-wicket pamership which produced 77 runs.

Fortune bowled a consistently good length to secure four of University’s wickets at a cost of 36 runs off four overs. Faced with the problem of staving off an outright win, the Midland batsmen in the second visit to the crease played an entirely different brand of cricket from that produced by them the previous week.' and after almost hours’ play had scored 184 runs for the loss of only two wickets at the close of play. The first wicket went cheaply, D. McCawe being dismissed when the total was only 22. H. W. Osborne and R. Buddle then carried the score to 91, before the former was caught by Vietmeyer off a ball from P. D. Wilson. At stumps Buddle was still scoring well in association with R. Crawford. He added 80 to the total iu determined fashion. Karori defeats Hutt.

Batting strongly. Karori scored a firstinnings win over Hutt at the Hutt Recreation Ground. Hutt made 177 in their first Innings, and Karori replied with 213. In its second innings, Hutt declared with five wickets down for 192, and in the time remaining at its disposal Karori scored 104 for six wickets. Karori was four wiekets down for 159 nt the start of play, S. Cutts (16) and F. Browne (8). After 25 minutes’ play Karori passed Hutt’s first innings score with a shot through the slips for four by Cutts off Champness. J. Standidge then began to hit out, but at 19 was caught by Champness off Ross. Karori passed the 200 mark after 157 minutes’ play, and the remaining wickets fell cheaply. Hutt’s second' innings showed promise from the start, although B. R. Ross, one of the opening batsmen, lost his wicket for two runs. J. J. Cheevers and R. J. Kemp followed and settled down comfortably to knock up a score. In exactly an hour they had put 97 on. the slate, but disaster overtook them when Cheevers sent one from E. King to the hands of G. Rowe. At the tea adjournment Hutt had lost one wicket for 107 runs. After the dismissal of Cheevers, whose score of 41 included five fours, Kemp was joined by (L R. Capstick, and together they added* 40 more runs before the former was caught by Standidge off Judd for 87. He had carried his bat for 83 and hit two sixers and 11 fours. Capstick remained at the crease and scored 29, but R. W. Stehr and E. J. Aim were dismissed for small totals. Hutt declared at 4.55 p.m. with five wickets down for 192 runs. Left with 157 runs to make for an outright win, Karori fought with determination. Hollings and Rowe were the opening batsmen, but the former was bowled first ball by Wright. When Rowe, Cooptfr and Browne were dismissed fairly cheaply. Hutt’s chances looked favourable, but Cutts and F. Browne stemmed the fall of wickets and began to add the runs. Karori were 50 up just on 6 p.m. At 33 Browne had his wickets spreadeagled by McLeod, with only 10 minutes to go.
