All the replies from clubs indicate that "freak declarations" will not ,i.c made in tomorrow's •matches. . .". '
The county cricket rule, which by arrangement can now be applied, provides that no sid= shall declare its> first innings, closed until it has batted for at least sixty minutes. ; One of the main matches tomorrow will /ff. that between Midland and Wellin^on, to be played at the Basin Reserve.. , Gf special interest will be the .appearances ior Midland and Wellington, respectively of J. L.. Keating (the ex-Victorian representative now fulfilling; a coaching: engagement to .the Wellington Cricket Association) and T. C. Lowry (noted New Zealand captain).
