CRICKET.

The Wallacetonians on their travels have > done well. At Winton on Friday they played ! a looal eleven, who put together 103 (L. E. JKeadc contributing 45) and 46 for five wickets—--44 out of the grand total wore extras—while Wallace made 85 (of which 25 were extras), Stevemcontributing 10, Sweato 17, and Hay ward 13. The Invercargill match next day, being decided by the first innings, was a victory for "Wallace by 12 runs, the scores being—lnvercargill f Wallace 5'J and 43. At Gore they beat a Jcc .icven by eight wickets. At Lawrence on Wxlnosday tney wore victorious by ono inninga «jd3B run*, making 113, of which Murray got 15, H. Morrison 26, Ilaywurd 20, and J. Morrison (hot out) 27, wrulo the local tc.-im were only able to put together 41 and 31; Johnston with 15, and Hamilton with 12 being the only ones who succeeded in getting inio double figures. M Milton yoaterday the visitors were victorious by three runs the scores heirjg: Wallace, 70 ; It. Hayward making 12, A. Hayward 14, and Holmes 2."). Milton, 67; Ness and D. Dewar with 15 and 14 respectively, being the only contributors of double figures. Tho match against the D.C.C. was commenced on the Oval this morning. Tho visitors wont to the wickets first, and totted up 74 before they were disposed of. The fielding of Dunedin was very indifferent, Barrow in particular failing to secure an easy catch, his default causing an addition of more than twenty to the score. Things looked gloomy for tho local players whpn six wickets had fallen for 21 runs, but D'Emden (a Weil known Canterbury player who w here on a visit) and Jones soan made a determined stand, tho forme'* scoring rapidly. When the telegraph showed 50, the captain of the Wallace players took objection -to D'Emden playing on the ground, that he was net a member <f tho D.C.C, and also had not fielded for Dunedin. * fter a short explanation the objection w»j withdrawn, but D'Emden'.? time had now come, for he almost immediately fell a victim-to aregulav trimmer from Sweate. The next two wickets fell in rar-id succession, and the score stood at 58, with one wicket to fall, wljea m adjournnieat wa * made for lunch.

The fielding of Wallace was very smart, H. Morrison at point making a couple of really good catches. Subjoined are the scores:—
