MATCH AGAINST THE REST. "WHO MAKE 267 GOOD DISPLAY BY KINGSTON. ■ (BY TELEGRAPH—PRESS ASSOCIATION.) WELLINGTON, Nov. 13. The cricket match, New Zealand v. The Rest, was commenced to-day on a slow wicket, and at the end of the day The Rest had made 267 in their completed innings, while New Zealand had reached 30 for the loss of one wicket. Bowley and Newman opened for The Rest against McGirr and Bernau. Both batsmen started well and at 21 Blunt relieved Bernau, who had bowled two overs for 14 .runs, and Allcott relieved McGirr. Page relieved Blunt at 33 up, bowling round the wicket with an onfield. He began with a maiden over. He kept the batting quiet. Newman skied one just clear of short leg, while Bowley had three 4’s in his total of 30, which he brought up with a two. Fifty went up after 45 minutes’ play, Newman’s total being 19. Buns came singly and in twos. Merritt relieved Allcott, and an uppisih shot from Newman went close to Henderson at short leg. Allcott replaced Merritt, who crossed over and relieved Page. Merritt nearly bowled Newman with the sixth ball, and Page went on at the other end to Merritt. Newman skied one to long leg, where Mills brought off a brilliant catch. —72—1 —35. Oliver joined Bowley to see him dropped by Merritt off a very hard return. Oliver was bowled with a straight one from Page.—72—2—o. GiEespie filled the vacancy. Merritt was keeping an excellent length, and had Bowley anxious with two “strong uns.” At lunch the score was 80, Bowley being 37 not out, and Gillespie four not out.

At 2.15 p.m., Merritt went on in place of Page and sent down a maiden. With the score at 87 Bowley went out l.b.w. to Merritt.—B7 —3—38. He hit 4 fours. Badcock was the next man. At 97 Page resumed at the other end, the century coining up for an hour and 55 minutes’ play. Gillespie went to the * twenties with good batting, but at 22 and with the total at 106 he was given out l.b.w. to Merritt.—lo 6—4— 22, BADCOCK SCORES WELL. Badoock was scoring off Merritt, and when Lowry came on to bowl Badcock iiit him for four and three respectively, bringing up 130. Henderson went on to bowl at 135 .and Badcock brought up 140 off him. Badcock was next to go, being well caught low down by Dempster off Lowry.—l46—s—36. Galliohan filled the vacancy and Blunt relieved Lowry. Henderson, after bowling two overs, gave way to Merritt, who soon had Gallidhan stumped by Merritt. Talbot came in to see Foley bring 150 up with a three. One run later Talbot flicked one from Merritt and was caught by James. — 161—7—8. L. 0. Elastman was next in. At 168 Allcott went on in place of Blunt and hesitation nearly bad Foley run out in going for a single. With 170 up Eastman was well caught at short slip by Page off Allcott.—l7o—B —4. Kingston was next in, the score mounting slowly. Page came on at 198 and 200 came up in even time. Both I Kingston and Foley were batting in excellent form. With the second century up and a new ball, MoGirr and Bernau took up the bowling. Merritt came on at 230. but .at 4.30 p.m. the score was 238, Foley being 47 not out and Kingston 40 not out. After afternoon tea, Lowry and Blunt went on and at 243 the first byes were debited against James, and Foley .ran to his 50. At 247, Kingston was clean howled by Lowry. He had helped to put on 77 for the ninth wicket.—247 —9—43. Rlead was the last man. The light became dull and the scoring slow. The innings closed at 5.22 p.m. for 267, Read being caught at short leg by Blunt off Lowry. Foley carried his bat for 66. At 5.35 Dempster and Mills commenced batting for New Zealand to Newman and Read. Ten went up after ten minutes. At 6 p.m. Mills played one from Newman on to bi.s wicket. —16 —l—B.

SATURDAY’S COMPETITIONS. RESULT'S AT A GLANCE. Midlands heat Manaia. Okaiawa beat Stratford. Kaponga beat Patea. Old Boys beat High School. Excelsior beat Eltham. -CENTURIES TO CHEEVERS AND V. BETTS Saturday was one of the most eventful days in the record of cricket for the season, because of the many fine batting displays and the generally good folding. The play was full" of interest and the displays will serve to foster a continued enthusiasm, not only amongst players,, but also with spec-

tators, of whom a fair number follow the local play carefully every Saturday. The afternoon was one of the best yet in the season for all round play, and indicates a general improvement in all the teams, despite the fact that the number of senior teams has been largely increased, a procedure which was feared would have an adverse effect. So far this has been proved to be quite a wrong fore ist. A century went to Cheevers, of Old Boys, and V. Betts, of Kaponga. Malone, of Excelsior, went close to that figure, with his good total of 90. Other excellent totals were Grace 84, Little (Eltham) 64, Lay 60, A. Betts 50, and Giblin (Midland) 54, and there were also several good bowling averages.

MIDLANDS BEAT MANAIA. A decisive defeat was inflicted by Midlands on Manaia at their own domain, when in a low scoring match the state of the outfield prevented quick scoring, exerpt for the big hitter, for the grass was very long—the visitors dismissed their opponents for 45 in the first innings, and running up to 103 themselves, got the Manaia men out shortly before time was called for a total only one run more than the first essay. The main factor in the success secured was the remarkably fine batting of Giblin and the effective bowling of the same player, backed up by good, work by Busing, Coleman and Seagar. In the Manaia first innings Giblin was in great form, and bowling with good length and accuracy, secured no less than five wickets, four clean bowled, while Coleman took four. In the second innings the Midland bowling was again very good, Seagar and Busing securing three and two wickets respectively. For Manaia. Gyde, Clarke and Hobday made gallant efforts to stem the disaster, Clarke in particular playing fine forcing cricket with good defence and in this second essay was going very well when at 20 Giblin took a brilliant catch in the slips off Seagar. Giblin, in making his 54, gave one of the best displays of the season and certainly his own best. He proved that his hitting powers, which always mark his play, are backed Dy good defence and an ability to pick the right one to hit. He had to play a lot of good bowling and came through with distinct credit to himself and advantage to his side. Jennings IS and Little 13 (not out) also played well and the inn-' ings closed with only six wickets down. iSeores were as below: — MANAIA. First Innings. Hobday, b Giblin ® Gvde, b Coleman 1> H.

OLD BOYS OUTPLAY SCHOOL. Much interest naturally centred on the meeting of Old Boys and School, because it was a struggle between the past and the present, and in a good scoring match the former, due largely to the wonderful stand made for the third wicket by Cheevers and Lay, aided by the good howling of Hayes and Chadwick, inflicted a decided defeat on the present hoys. Cheevers was in his beat form, and played a great'innings, which gave him the coveted century, while Lay retired with his score at 60. The rest, with the exception of Dowdle, did very little against the good bowling of Pacey and Barker. For School. Barker 36, Thomas 33 (not out) and Morrissey 20, alone did any good. These three playied excellent cricket against odds in an endeavour to top the opposing total, and in their second ossav. when they followed on, Barker again played a irattling good innings, marked by fine hitting—hie had a six and six fours in his 41—and this served largely to play out time. The scores were :

EXCELSIOR BEAT ELTHAM. Excelsior, considered a very weak team, have put up several good displays during the season, and one of their best was their 191 against Eltham on Saturday, when Malone was in a punishing mood and rattled up 90, which total included nine fours. It was a remarkably fine display. He was helped materially by Buckeridge, who scored 25 in good style, and Fairweather, who ran up 21 by nice cricket. Dobson and Little were the best of the Eltham bowlers. C. Little was in his best form for Eltham, and played a great innings of 64 not out, hitting lustily and getting nine fours, five- off consecutive balls, while Kerr helped him materially.
