THE REP. MATCH. FEILDING DISTRICT WINS. A very interesting and enjoyable match was played on the South-street reserve on Saturday, betiveen the I''eilding District Association reps., captainod by Roy. Carlisle, and tho Manawatu Junior representatives, captained by D. Siinmomls. Maiia\v:itn batting first, made 111 runs, sonic of the boys, notably Simonds 27, Pegden 22, and Jielvell 12, batting in splendid form. Quite a number of the remaining batsmen, though not making many runs, give promise of developing into good batsmen. For tho District Association, Mills 4 for 19 and Carlisle J) for 27 were the best of the bowlers tried. The District Association made an unpromising start, Pleasants falling to a beautiful one-handed catch on tho boundary by McGregor who also .snapped up another batsman very smartly in the slips. Banks' 32 was easily the best batting exhibition on the local side, though ho was badly let oil early in his innings, the wic-ket-keeper dropping nu easy catch. Banks has a free forcing style, quite in contrast to Mills, whoso stonewalling, though not appreciated by the spectators, was of great service to the side. Drew 15 batted very nicely for his contribution and had the misfortune to bo run out. Things began to get quite interesting at this stage as the score mounted up and the wickets fell, but tho District team eventually ran out winners of a keen contest by eight runs, the- last wicket falling just on time, Avith the team all out for 119 runs. For Manawatu, Neilsen was the best bowlor, capturing 4 wickets for 32, and he trundled splendidly. Some of the other boys bowled very nicely, the best perhaps being Fitt, a lad of some 16 years, who h;is a. fair turn of speed 'and a. nice delivery. The fielding of tho local reps, was only fair and quite in contrast to that of their opponents, whose smartness in fielding and returning the ball gaining the admiration of the onlookers. Messrs Burnett (Feilding) and Stewart (Pahnprston) gave every satisfaction as umpires. Tho following arc the scores : — PA LMERSTON.— First Innings.

A movement is on foot to secure a coach for the Manawatu Association. It is felt that cricketers and their supporters only.need to bo asked, and a sufficient sum of money will bo guaranteed to defray the expenses of a good nian^ who will devote a couple of nights to Palmerston and a couple of nights to Feildiiig during the cricket, season. This is a movement in the right direction and is just what is required in Manawatu cricket, for the material, is* there-, and only. wants to bo developed, and it is felt that to get the best results a coach is absolutely necessary.
