Warehousemen First was commenced on the Caledonian Ground on Saturday, and so far is rather in favor of the latter, they being 20 runs to the good on the first innings. The Warehousemen, going in first, put together 62, two or three of their best bats going out rather unfortunately. The chief scorers were Peake 17, Young 15, and Kitt 12. Peake batted in cricket-like style, and should by careful practising soon come to the front as a batsman. Wratt bowled well for the Phcenix, having an average of six for 39. Hume also bowled fairly, taking three for 20. The Phoenix made a very poor show, only totalling 42, Wyinks being the only one who played the bowling properly. He, however, had the misfortune to lose his wicket with a regular shooter, which grazed his leg stump. The fielding of the Warehousemen was really good, Moyle, as short leg, making two fine catches. Hadfield and Kitt bowled capitally, the former taking six wickets for IS runs, and the latter three for 12.

For the winners Pocknall (21), Smith (22), and M'Crorie (18) batted well, as did Geddess (23) and Cameron (14) for the losers. Pocknall, M'Farlane, and Montgomery bowled well for the Wanderers ; and Shephard and Cooper, the latter doing the hat trick, bowled well for the Excelsior. The match Wanderers Second v. Clydesdale First resulted in a win for the former on the first innings by three runs, the scores being: Wanderers, 57 and 1-1 for five wickets; Clydesdale, 54 and 20. Aitkcn (21) for the winners, and Shrimpton (12) for the losers, were the only ones who got into double figures.

Wo hear that the Cricket Association are likely to meet with some difficulty in sending a representative team to Christchurch this month to play the return match against Canterbury, it being understood that some of our principal players will be unable to get the necessary leave of absence. T. Austin, Dixon, and Collinson are improbable players. A return match between the Press and Opera Company will be played on the Oval to-morrow afternoon.
