CRICKET.

THURSDAY COMPETITION. Tub above competition vas continued yesterday afternoon on Victoria Domain in a bowling nor’-wester. The features of the day’s play were tho excellence of tbe bowling on No. 1 pitch, where Haiti and West End met, and the spirited batting on No. 2 wicket, where City and Whautopoko each passed tbe century. WHATAUPOKO v. CITY. Great interest centred in the meeting of these twoolovens, who were running level in the lead for the Thurday championship. Whataupoko batted first, and put up ihe fine scoro of 132. Rowland, Haworth, Barlow, and Hodge laid the wood on with vivor, and it was quite refreshing to watch their vigorous strobes. The City howling calls for little mention, though Cole, who was tried as fifth change, did good work, and bagged four wickets for l J runs, including tho hat trick. City made a big bid for victory, and Whataupoko was never safe until the lust wicket fell. Glennie, a recent arrival from New South Wules, played a grand innings, in which his on-strokes wero splendidly executed. 1 *Ho scored rapidly all round the wickot, 1 and hit twelve of! the first over of ' Hodge's. Had any of the City | men made a lengthy stand with him, 1 Glennie would have pulled the gumo out of the lire for his side. Ho had to torce tho pace, and manteuvred cleverly towards * the close of the fnuiugs so as to face the bowling us often as possible. Ho was ' evontually nicely taken behind tho wickets by Rowland, after playing the finest ' innings wo have seen so far this season. 1 Des Barres also batted well, and mado 1 some nice strokes in putting his 13 together. H. and J. h’erris and Haworth 1 took the wickets for Whataupoko, who * won by the narrow margin of 15 runs. Neale, Glennie, and Grant each lifted the ball out of the grouud. Scores : _r. s

HAITI v. WEST END. v a On No. 1 pitch, those Clubs played a .1 close and exciting game. Haiti batted )i iirst, but could only total 42 against the c bowling of Hood, who was in rare form, a and took six wickets for 14 runs. Colin L Fairlie, who made his first appearance on <■' the cricket field this season was the only si batsman to do anything for Haiti, and he h Bit hard and clean in putting up his 22. J West End could only reply with 39, 1 Haiti thus winning by 3 runs. Gibson took six wickets for 12 runs, and Porter three for 20. W. Andrews was the only v man to get into double figures for West R End. and played well for his 17.
