I THE SENIOR CUF. ' The matoh between the Star and Welling- ' ton first elevens, was resumed on Saturday, | and resulted in an easy win for the Welling- ' ton's by an innings and 78 rnnß. The Starr, , being 95 behind their opponents on the first , innings, had to follow on, and as the wiokot - was of the natnre that gladdeneth the heart ; of a bowler, the team were all disposed of for ) 17 rnna. The rain had made the ground ¦ extremoly Boft, and Gore and Eonaldson ¦ were simply unplayable in consequence. The i former scoured 6 wickets for 10 runs, and 1 the latter 4 for 7. Appended are the aoores : — Star, 2nd innings— Mansill, b Bonaldson, 2; Eyra, b Eonaldson, 0 ; H. Roberta, b ¦< Gore, 1 ; Littlejohn, b Gore, 2 ; S. Roberts, i b Ronaldson, 0; Brown, o and b Ronaldi son, 3 ; Virtue, b Gore, 0 ; Dean, b Gere, 0 ; i Gooder, b Gore, 0 ; A. Riohardson, b Gore, 4 ; G. Riohardson, not out, 5. Total, 17. . The same olubs started a scratch matoh to > fill up the afternoon. The Wellingtons . going in first, ran up 81 before the last wioket fell, Ootterell being top scorer with i 20, obtained by good cricket. Gore and i Koch also played well for 13 and 12 respeoI tively. When time was called the Stars nad 1 made 52 for the loss of two wickets, to whioh i H. Roberts played a rattling innings of 28 i (not out), and Mansill also batted well for 17 ' (not out). The wioket dried up a good deal ' towards the end, and better orioket was the i result. The fielding on both sides was i excellent. ; JUNIOR MATCH. ; The match St. Patrick's College v. Star second was resumed ori No. 3 pitch on Saturday, and after a most exoiting finish was won by the College by 5 runs. The . Collegians were 42 to the bad on the first r innings, but before their second innings closed they had run up 120, leaving the i Stars 79 to get to win. A good start was made by Gamble and Donaldson, who put together 60 before the first wioket fell, Gamble being bowled after making 31 by good orioket, and Donaldson followed im- ' mediately after him with 29 to his credit, ! obtained in first-rate style. The fourth , wioket fell with the score at 73, and then [ a regular procession took place, no lees than six wickets going without a run being added to the total, the last falling with the score at 73. Forsyth and Remington, two of the ' Stars best men, were unable to play. Tbe former left for Christchurch, and the hitter cnt his right hand severely on Friday evening, but went in to try and avert defeat by 1 keeping up his wicket to allow the other 1 man to score. He, however, put his leg where ' his bat should have been, and had to retire. The following are the scores: — St. Patrick's ' College, second innings— Sheedy, oW.

When the seventh wioket fell the Phoenix only required four runs to win, but Isherwood and Fitzsunmons were bowling so well that the last wioket fell when within one of the required number.
