o. GOOD SCORING AT THE BASIN KINVIG NEARING THE CENTURY. Central v. Old Boys — Central, seven wickets for 341. North, 126; East B, first innings 59, second two for 50. Hutt, 179; East A, two for 179. Petone, 153 ; College, first innings 114, second none for 9. HONOURS BOARD. Kinvig (Central), not out 96. T. A. Jackson (Central), not out 77. Smyrke (Petone), 76. Midlane (East B), 67. A. Aldersley (Lower Hutt), 67. S. Hickson (Central), 63. Dempsey (College), four wickets for 23. Brice (Petone), two for 22. Gibbes (East), aix for 68. Grimmett (East B), six for 40. Smith (East B). two for 21. Casey (North), three for 21. Southall (North), five for 25. The feature of Saturday's senior cricket was the fine start made by Central against the Old Boys at Basin Reserve, for when stumps were drawn they were only minus seven of their wickets (first innings) for 341 runs, with two of their mainstays — Kinvig and Jackso*— still batting. Taken all round, good cricket was witnessed. The wicket left nothing to complain about — at any rate, from a bowler's point of view — as Ea3t B found to their cost, being dismissed in their first innings with only 59 on the board. No centries were recorded, but Kinvig, wit& average luck, should complete his three figures next Saturday, having only lour to go. CENTRAL v. OLD BOYS. Old Boys traversed a lot of the landscape at Basin Reserve, Central knocking up 341, with three v/ickets to fall. Hickson opened, and at first did nob look too safe. As soon as he had established himself, however, he started to treat the bowling pretty well as he liked, and was not dismissed till he reached 63, when He sent one right into Tucker's hands. His first partner was Naughton, who had just got settled clown to business after ptitting on 24 when Leys took his bails. The brightest of the bright spots of the afternoon was Kinvig's batting. Young as he is in years, he played with the skill of a veteran, and with five minutes to go to the call of time he only required four to make the only century of the day. But his partner, Jackson, was getting more than his share of the bowling, and Kinvig's triple figures did not eventuate. Jackson played a serviceable innings, and he and Kinvig should give a jjood exhibition when they resume their partnership next Saturday if they get set. Lees did fair execution with the ball, but the bowling, taken all round, had no sting in it. Unless Old Boys have phenomenally good luck next Saturday, the match looks like a foregone conclusion in favour of their opponents. Scores :—: — Central.— First Innings. S.

The bowling and fielding proved too much for East B in their first innings against North, the whole of their wickets falling for the meagre score or 59. Their highest scorer was Mr. " Sundries," who was responsible for a baker's dozen, and Walters came next ' with 11, and Smith third with 10. Casey and Southall were the "giants," as far as North wero concerned, the former capturing three wickets for 21, and Southall five for 25, vyith a couple of catches thrown in. Wei lington North responded with 126, Quinn heading the list with 24. Hiddlestone, who can generally be relied upon to make a good stand, had the misfortune to get leg-before to Smith 'when he had 11 to his credit. In their second attempt, East B improved somewhat, Bowles having measured the strength of the bowling, and when play closed he had rung up a consistent 23, and carried his bat. Grimmett, the third man in, had only hit a cxniple of moderate ones when ho went down to Gasey. Scores : — East B.— First Innings.

EAST A v. HUTT. Playing at the Hutt, East A had all the better of it over Hutt, whose total foe the first innings was 179. A. Aidersley was responsible for 67 of the score, his total including ten nicely-placed 4's, a quartette of which were in succession. Midlane and M'Girr opened for East A, and the former, playing up to his usual form, hit up 67 (six 4's in the number), and resumes his innings next Saturday. Baker played attractively also, bub he was unlucky enough to be run out when he had registered 61. Scores : — Lower Hutt. — First Innings.

Owing to the state of the wicket at Petone, a few casualties were sustained among the College batsmen, Dickson's thumb being somewhat badly hurt. College opened with 114 in their first i innings, Joplin's t6 embracing five fours. Petone, in reply, hit up 153, thanks chiefly to Smyrke, whose score was only one short of half the total.

(By Telegraph.— Press Association.— Copyright.) ADELAIDE, 17th January. Glorious weather prevailed for the continuation of the match between South Australia and. New Zealand at Adelaide. The wiclcet was perfect. There was an attendance of three thousand spectators. The bowling of the New Zealanders (whose first innings had yielded 362) lacked sting. Bennett and Sandman were the most troublesome. The fielding was sure, generally, but the men were slow in getting to the ball. Sandman, Reese, and Tuckwell were the smartest, while Boxshall was excellent as wicketkeeper. Robinson and Sandman opened the bowling. The latter was expensive, although he just failed to reach a return from Smith. Bennett was then tried with the ball, and Smith was smartly taken, low clowd at point. Two for 113. Steele hatted freely. _ Sandman replaced Bennett, and his first ball beat Mayne. Three for 130. Two more runs were added, and then Steele was caught off a skier at square-leg. He had batted 90 minutes, and had hit one sixer and seven fours. Gooden played a straight slow ball with his pads, and was oflt leg before wicket. Five for 158. At the luncheon interval the total was 175— Pellew 15, and Willsmore 11. Robinson and Sandman resumed bowling after the interval, and despite frequent subsequent changes the scoring was rapid. The sixth wicket added 118 in fifty minutes. Sandman was tried again, and in his first over Willsmore was potted by a ball at mid-off. lie had played a hard, driving innings. Six for 2%. Hill, the next man, quickly got busy. Pellew, who was playing a steadier game, was easily caught at point. He batted 95 minutes, and hit a sixer and nine fours. Seven for 312. With Crawford in, the scoring slowly mounted, but Bennett was troubling Hill.- At the tea adjournment the total was 357— Hi1l 48, and Crawford If. The New Zealand score was passed in 3 hours 45 minutes. Hill reached GO in 68 minutes. Four hundred went up in four hours. Somervell, in the second over, mibsed an easy return from Crawford, who was then 35. Hill was caught at mid-0n— 429. He had batted 106 minutes, hitting out forcibly, and taking risks. His strokes, however, lacked some of their old certainty. Campbell was easily caught at squareleg, and the first ball, a bailer, beat Howard. The innings lasted 4 hours I and 25 minutes. ! In the New Zealandoru' second innings, [Somervell was paught at third man in

the first over. .Sncddon was good. Hemus was caught in the slips. Two for 23. Scores: — SOUTH AUSTRALIA. First Innings.
