CRICKET.

Albion v. Wanderers was continued on the Oval on Saturday, Hendley having prepared a Bplendid pitch. The Albion, with four wickets down for 43, completed their second innings for 111 (batting one man short), which left the Wanderers 72 to get to win, a task they accomplished for the loss of two wickets. Watson played in free style for 40, but had the misfortune to be stumped just before the winning hit was made. The following were the scores : Albion. First innings .. .. .. .. .. 37 Second Innings.

As each team had suffered bat one defeat this season more interest was evinced than is usually taken in junior matches. The Albion, batting first, made 83, of which number M'Kinley was credited with 35, got in excellent style. When the Orange had lost most of their best wickets for 40 an unseemly altercation took place. The Grange captain, alleging that the Albion team included some of the club's first eleven, requested Johnstone, who had been taking part in the Edendale match, to go to the wickets. Objection was naturally taken by the opposing captain, and a squabble ensued. The teams meet again on Saturday, Other Matches.—Port Chalmers (103) v. Opoho (42); Warehousemen Second (41) v.
