doable figures. With nine Phcenix wickets down for 81, it seemed a moral for the visitors. Niven, who was batting very steadily, was joined at this stage by 6. Clark. Both playing carefully, runs came apace, until the score of Addington was topped. When Clark went in over 30 runs were required to win, and beforehe was taken in the field he saw over 50 runs put on, of which he claimed 29. Hearty cheers greeted both players when they reached the pavilion. Clark had not handled a bat previously this season. Niven well earned his runs, and deservedly carried his bat out. Harris totted up 16 before he was clean bowled by M'Murray. M‘Donald made 11; none of the others reached double figures. The second innings of the visitors closed for 58. Having about twenty-five minutes on hand and 31 runs to make, the home team started with Frith and Harris. The latter, after making G, put one up, and was well taken by Turner off Halley. Frith hit out merrily for 19 before time was called. A few more minutes would have sufficed for the 7 runs required. As it was the match was decided upon the first innings. In bowling in the first innings M‘Murray had the best record with five for 49, though Halley bowled well. For the Ph unix Montgomery secured four wickets for 25 runs, and Frith four for 31. In the second innings Frith bowled well, securing four for 16 ; Harris six for 37. The fielding was very fair on both sides. Scores;— Addington. - First Innings. A.

A Wellington Midland Club eleven met the Canterbury Midland Club in a two days’ match on Monday and Tuesday at Christchurch. The Wellington men put together 178 in the first innings. The Canterbury men responded with 262, of which G. Rayner scored 92 (not out), C. Garrard making 49, and E. Barnes 31. The Wellington men made a good start in their second innings, four wickets being down for 113, but the tenth wicket had fallen with the score at 163. Tindall and Isherwood batted in good style for 21 and 47 respectively. Ashby’s bowling analysis again was the best on his side. Ashby got five wickets for 64, and Barnes two for 28. Requiring 79 to win, the Canterbury Club succeeded in their task, but at the cost of six wickets. Rayner and Garrard got small double-figure scores each, and M‘Donald and Washer were not out with 15 and 16 respectively. M'Girr was highest scorer in the Wellington first innings, and he had also the best bowling average in Canterbury Club’s first, securing five wickets for 71 runs. Lawson took three for 30 in the second innings. The match Vernon’s team v. Eleven of Adelaide was resumed at Adelaide yesterday, and the home team had lost eight wickets for 450 runs at the conclusion of the day’s play. Godfrey put together 119 and Giffen 203 before they were disposed of. The Adelaide men are thus 216 runs to the good, with two wickets to fall. The Cricket Association insist upon the match being played out, notwithstanding that so doing will interfere with the intercolonial match,

which should commence at Melbourne on Saturday. W. Bates, the cricketer, is rapidly recovering from the effects of his accident at Melbourne. His sight is reported to be uninjured.
