Some good form :-v\-as.shqwn...with .bat, and ball, aud there.' were instances of. splendid recoveries by teams 'Which'"' had made a poor beginning. Institute; playing against Wellington afrjthe. Basin Reserve,' put /on runs in plenty aftev-^six wickets had: fallen for 101 runs,.and-vthey, finished up with the score ,of 305,.t0 which Calvert again was a big contributor. On the other wicket at the Basin JR^seiTe.'University made a moderate showing with the bat against Wellington College Old. Boys, whose reply was pichasvtp place them in a winning position., Dempster .gave another finished display. Hutt, the .championship leaders, made.,.a., fair, showing against , Petone at Petorie, and the home team's reply, so far as it went, was' satisfactory enough to make the position decidedly interesting tor the second day of the . match. Midland, after faring badly early in their innings agamst Kilbirriie at Kilbirnie, ''. rau up a good total, the:"ti>il";.wagging.very effectively. Before, stump's were'drawn Kilbirnie lost two-%ood;wick"ets cheaply. The day's play;resulted:— - Institute* 305, v.

Fielding .in the slips Browne; of Wellington College Old Boys,--accomplished some: smart work which, helped in no small Way towards the dismissal' of University for; a: moderate total. Sour fine catches were made by Browne, and in addition he bowled a batsman. The match was played at.No. 2;. wicket at the Basin. Reserveiiand University, although losing-the toss,-were given first use of the wicket. Before the third wicket fell 80 runs were.scored, so that quite a fair start had!b'een made, but" subsequent progress was rather poor, and with- the total at 158 the last wicket fell. Blandford did well in the early stages, and Arndt later held an end up for some considerable time, each of these batsmen making 37 runs.' Parsloe and Duncan each took'three wickets, though they were more'costly than Lamason's two for 13. Dempster and James opened for Old Boys, and it was apparent that their object was to get runs quickly. James, however, did not las,t long, but dv Chateau stayed with Dempster while the score was improved by ; 96 runs. The star batsman appeared to be well set for a century—in fact, he hadplayed delightfully free when he skied a ball to long on'and was caught. His.'B2-included eleven fours, while.between ;them James and dv Chateau found the,boundary on eight occasions. At sturnpKOld Boys were in a strong position withjlaO for three wickets.
