Our Wellington correspondent wires:— "The cricket season was opened here on Saturday in glorious weather. The interest centred in the senior cup match between the Wellington and Poeneke Clubs ; and as W. J. Cotterill and W. P. Reeves (two exCanterbury prominent batsmen) were playing for the former, it was expected that they would make a good stand, but the glorious uncertainty of the game was exemplified, the innings closing for the poor score of 42; Cotterill making 5 and Reeves 6. Parker had the fine average of seven wickets for lo runs. The Poenekes replied with 75.
