The bowling of the Albion was not very formidable, and the fielding anything but brilliant, several chances being missed. The ground is in a wretched state, the grass being so long that “Lost ball!” was cried on two or three occasions. Baker and Best hit hard for their scores, and Johnston played in his old finished style for his SO. Anderson (four for SI), Crawshaw (two for 15), Ritchie (two for 41), and Turnbull (one for 8) were the successful bowlers. In twenty minutes’ batting the Albion scored 30 for two wickets.

This senior cup was played at Carisbrook on Saturday afternoon, but was a very uneven and uninteresting game throughout. Stronach winning the toss elected to bat, but made an unlucky start, four wickets having been captured at an expense of S runs. Spraggon and Liggins, however, entirely changed the complexion of the game, and raised the score to a respectable total. At the call of time the B team had lost six wickets for 26. There was a goodly attendance of visitors considering the threatening state of the weather, and afternoon tea was dispensed by the wives of the officers of the club, assisted by their lady friends. The Engineers’ Band were stationed on the pavilion, and played a number of Selections during the afternoon. Scores : Carisbrook A.

Carisbrook D was played at Port, and resulted in a win for the home team by 25 runs on the first innings. Carisbrook, batting nine men, made 69 (Leary 31, Clarkson 19). Port responded with 94 (Jack 27, Collier 18, Dobbie 16). The match between Oceana and Opoho teams, played at Montecillo, resulted in a win for the former by 28 runs. The southenders batted first and totalled 79. W. Butler played a free and serviceable innings for 37, and D. Smyth batted patiently for 11, but none of the others reached double figures. Opoho responded with 51. For Oceana Butlin secured four wickets for 16, G. Smyth three for 15, and Butler one far 9. M‘Arthur, who captured six wickets, was the moat successful bowler for the losers. University met Albion on the North Ground. Albion, going first to the wickets, could do nothing against the bowling of Hendry (four for 6) and Nicholls (six for 12), and only made 20. ’Varsity replied with 48, Matthews (13) batting well, Corbett (three for 18) captured the bulk of the. University wickets. Grange met Union Company on the Oval on a very bad wicket. Grange going in first could only make 26 (Esquilant 11), but Union Company just managed to tie that small score. Esquilant (five for 6) and Cunningham (four for 9) bowled well for Grange, as did Low (six for 15) and Brodriok (four for 11) for Union Company. The match Dunedin v. Mornington resulted in a victory for the former by one run, the scores being Dunedin 44 (Morrison 14) and Mornington 43 (T. Holgate 27). THIRD CLASS CHAMPIONSHIP.

Spence (five for 6) and Dickel (four for 12) proving very destructive with the ball. In the second innings the Albion made 24, and at the call of time the University had made 35 for three wickets. Afternoon tea was kindly provided by the ladies of the University Club. The match Dunedin No. 2 v. Mornington was played at Mornington, and resulted in a win for Dunedin by 28 runs.

TO W.G. Wc were young when we learnt there were Graces three. But the Muses, alas, were nine ; Ami the Hours are twelve, so it's easy to Soe The way that they drew the line. Three horn's misspent oh a foolish muse For every hour We played, Though the shthmer sun gave scant excuse For neglect of the willow blade. Now the days of the Graces are gone, and we Meet cares that are nine times nine ; But we still may rise to a three times three For a Gra;e that defies decline. » Anon.
