CRICKET

Ofobo v. Guanos. Ih:s match "was concluded in twenty minutes on the North Ground on Saturday, v.hen Opoho won by an innings and 33 runs, thus securing a '4-poinfc win. With seven wickets down for 92 (Ogg 21 and H. Wright 2), the home toam resumed their iraingß. One run later Wright was bowled by Eckhoff without adding to his score. Ogg carried his score to 33, when ho was given out lbw to Eckhoff. L. Chaclwick carried his bat for 8, the innings closing for 119. Eckhoff took eight wickets for 36. A pleasing function took place at the conclusion of tho match, when C. Chad wick, the Grange skipper, presented Casey with t*he baLl (inscribed in silver) with which he took five wickets for 2 tho previous Saturday. Scores: Otoho. First innings 163 Graxgk.

DTrsimiN' v. Autiox. Albion repeated their poor display of the week before, with the result that Dunedin scored a 4-point win. There was nothing in the state of the Caledonian wicket (a good, easy one) to account for tho low scoring, but Mackersy and Torrance bowled unchanged, the former coming out with an average of five for 24. it will be remembered that on the previous 'Saturday Albion made 106, and at call of time Dunedin had lost eight for 105. They carried tho total to 116. Baker and Hiddleston commenced Albion's second venture, and the veteran shaped in his usual bluff, determined fashion! Hi had made 16 only, however, when Hiddleston declined a call to run, and Baker was inn out. after making his way right up to Hiddleston's end. There was a run :'n it all right. M'Farlane followed, only to seo Hiddleston caught at the wickets. A stand was confidently expsotjd when Duthie joined M'Farlane, but the former is a bad starter, and after giving a chance oft* Torrance in the slips, he next ball returned a full toss to the left-hander. Three for 28. The newcomer, Williams, after scoring 3, lifted Mackersy to Eckhold at long-on. Four for 31. Then M'Farlane went, caught at leg through hooking, instead of gliding, a ball. Five for 34. Scandrett and J. Shepherd batted cautiously for a while, tho latter subduing his usual impatience, and watching every ball right to his bat. Scandrett did not last long, falling to Mackersy through tho same Eckhold trap in the long-field. Holland and Shepherd stopped for a while, both men playing nice strokes, though Holland was at times obviously feeling forward for Mackersy outside the off stick. He was presently caught off th 9 same bowler at point. Seven for 47. 11. Shepherd joined his brother, skied one back to Torrance, which the bowler dropped, and after adding 4 to the total was also caught by Wilkie at point. Corbett was clean bowled by Torrance, and Cummings was run out, the innings closing for 55 runs, J. Shepherd 12 not out.

Dunedin required 46 runs to win, and secured them with the loss of two wickets, Eckhoid being not out with 25 nuts. Details : Albion - . First innings 106 Second Innings.

Cakisbrook A v. Caiusbkook B. On the resumption of this game jitCarisbrook, the B team went in on an excellent wicket against the A's total of compiled the previous Saturday. Tho B's put up the very fair score of 164, and so wero beaten on tho first innings by 140 runs. Their innings closed at 4.45 p.m., and the captain of the A team decided to have another strike. The' A'a second innings began at 5.7 p.m., and before stumps were drawn 175 runs were hit up for the loss of two wickots. Hopkins played another beautiful innings. His scoro of 78 was nuido without a chance, included a 6 and eleven 4's, and was compiled in fifty-three minutes.. Barron hit out just as lustily, and in his unfinished 87 wore a 6 and seven 4's. It was a rather dazzling windup to the afternoon's cricket. But brilliant as it was, it was beside the question as far as the issue was concerned. It :s also doubtful whether Ramsden's innings was not on a par with any played during tho match. Ho went in second wicket down when two of tho best bats in the team, Austin and Watson, had fallen. The score was then 62, and Ramsden stayed there tho rest of tho innings. He did not give the semblance of a chance, and as his, runs included five 4's and 6ix 3's, and were made in under an hour and a-half, his play was attractive as well ns safe, lie was exceptionally good on the on side, turning anvthing" on his pads to leg with the utmost certainty, and pulling short balls to long-on with squal facility. To the off he generallv contented himself with cleverly-run singles, obtained from delibe-rately-restrained strokes, varied occasionally by a hard drive through a gap in th-> field. Everything went along the carpet, and altogether it was a notable exhibition of skill and good judgment. Austin played a sound, useful game until he hit over a slow yoiker from Cameron, and in Alloo s 28 there were a 6, two 4's, and two 3's. , C'olwmb made a very useful 30, including three 4's. He helped riamsden raise the srore from five for 72 to six. for 145. 'the rest failed. Siedeberg got Drumm with, the cover-point stroke, from which he hnnself userl so often to fall a victim, and Fenwick was decidedly unlucky. At one tune Siedeberf had thieo wickets for 10 runs, but tho 10 gradually increased to 25. Rutherford tried the leg break instead oj fast stuff, and it worked so well that he got a wicket in each of the three overs he bowled. Hopkins took two very smart catches at mid-otf, though he dropped a hot ouo from Harraway. Scores: Cabisbkook A. First innings °O4 Second Innings. Hopkins, c Alloo, b Andrews 78 C. Cameron, b H.

Dmicdin C the former put up what is probably a record in Second Grade matches in this City—a first-wicket partnership of 235. Tho "C\s won by 58 runs on tho first innings. Scores: C"s, 209 ; B's, 151. In the 1$ second venture 294 runs had been scored for three wickets when stamps were drawn, Johnston being responsible for 155 and Thompson 86. A unique position has arisen in tho match Opoho v. Carisbrook D. Opoho " declared " at 179 for nine wickets, leaving 135 to get in an hour. Tho position is put thus: With tho recognised ten-minute interval Carisbrook should have been ready to take the wickets at 5.30. However, Mr \V. Tiley, one of the umpires, desired to leave at the close of Opoho's second strike, and got Mr D. Smyth to take his jilace. It is said, however, that Mi- Tiley omitted to inform Harraway, captain of the Carisbrook, of his intention to lea.ve, and went into tho pavilion'to have a cup of tea before going home, in the pavilion at tho same, time" being also the two first Carisbrook batsmen. Tho two latter men evidently thought that as long as Mr Tiley was in tho room tho match could not start, hut it is asserted that Mr Tiley at last remarked to them, after looking at his watch, that ho had got someone else to take his place as umpire, and that it was tw.i minutes over the time for the Carisbrook men to start their innings. The two batsmen made a rush to the; wicket, but Mr Praia—who says that tho time of the interval had then reached seventeen mm- - utes—was appealed to by the Opoho cap- ! tain for the Carisbrook men exceeding the I regulation interval time, and awarded the match to Opoho. Mr Harraway, captain of the Carisbrook, lias 6tated his intention of appealing to the Association. St. Kilda defeated Grange by nine wickets. THIRD GRADE. St. Kilda 81 beat Mornington 40.

CRICKET AT PORTOBELLO. The latest addition to tho number of cricket clubs is tho Hui Mai Club, winch has recently been formed at Portobello. It has a memborship to date of sixty-eight, drawn from that township and the surrounding district. A local resident (Mr Roy) has kindly givon tho use of aground, in which tho club has gone to considerable expense in putting down a first class concrete pitch, on which the members have been practising assiduously for tho last throe months, several local matches baring also been played. On Saturday they tried conclusions with an eleven from tho establishment of Messrs Powley and Keast, winning by an innings and 49 runs.

AUSTRALIAN" XL The match between South Africa and an .Australian Eleven was continued at Brisbane on Saturday, in the* presence of 8,000 people. Jennings played a great innings, hitting brilliantly. He was at the wickets for 123 minutes, and hit seven 4'6 before being dismissed by a splendid catch. Hordern, Kortlang, and Macartney showed ccod form, but the otherc, were disappointing. The innings lastedl 3h 44min. The bowling was good, but the fielding was only "moderate, several catches being dropped. Tho South Africans opened badly in a fading light. Three wickets produced 32 runs, Hordern's "googlies" proving disconcerting. Znlch and Faulkner played cautiously until stumps were drawn. Scores:—
