Carisbrook A v. Carisbrook B. The outfield at Carisbrook was a trifle heavy, but it was an easy batsmans wicket upon which the B team commenced their innings. The light was poor, which perhaps accounted for the slowness of the , scoring at first. Austin and Ramsden for i ‘.ho second wicket, furnished practically the| ifternoon’s play, ami both men opened out j if ter 50 had been made, so that, despite j ‘fie slow start (Ramsden took forty min- | ates to-make his first 17), the hundred | was reached in 98 minutes. With 35 on j Ramsden gave a chance off Wilson to j Cameron, who fumbled and finally dropped j it. Twenty runs later Ramsden returned | one tn Bannerman, and retired with a nicely made 55 to his credit. Watson followed, and both Austin and he played ittractively, till with 200 on Austin gave i chance to Wilson off Bannerman, and retired. He had been at the wickets just three hours for his contribution of 110, in many ways an attractive innings. \\ hen i failing light stopped play the B had lost four wickets for'2sl. A feature of the pime was the neat fielding of Watson and Adams. Details : Carisbrook B.— First Innings. Austin, c Wilson, b Bannerman 110 A. W.

Dunedin failed to put up much of a score against Albion on the North Ground. The Albion bowling could scarcely be classed as deadly, but it was nevertheless too good for the Dunedin batsmen. The first three wickets (Eckhold, Brydone, and Torrance) fell for 7 runs, and the fourth wicket went down at 20. Then the score was carried to 54, mainly owing to the solid, although by no means dull, batting of Condliffe, who"compiled 33. The sixth, seventh, and eighth wickets to make much difference to the score. Thei the two colts, Tweedy and Stevens, became associated and succeeded in raising the total by 49 before a separation was effected. "These young players batted exceedingly well, hitting hard for the majority of their runs. Stevens should, however, learn to run faster between the wickets. The innings closed for 145. Corbett, who bowled unchanged throughout the innings, secured the good average of five for 76. Cummings, two for 40, ■vnd Hiddleston two for 18, were the only other bowlers tried. Albion lost M’Farlane and Hiddleston right from the start. J. Shepherd and Duthie made reparation, and put on 72 rune before Shepherd was caught by Condliffe. Duthie was out shortly after for a neatly compiled 45. Wallis, who was in for nearly half an hour before scoring, and Baker played out time. The latter livened up the game, hie 53, characteristically made, including a 5 and eleven 4’s. Twenty-six byes went past the Dunedin wicket-keeper. The Dunedin skipper tried six bowlers, and of these Graham came out beet with two for 53. The following are the details Dunedin. —First Innings. Eckhold, b Uurnminra 2 Brydone, cR.
