« [By "Sobeen."] The TJnited A and B teams journeyed to Hastings by the 1.16 train, returning by the express leaving Hastings at 6.40. The new train arrangements fit in nicely for the cricket at Hastings, allowing of four hours' play. Lußk won the toss from Marshall, and the Bs decided to bat. The Heretaunga ground man had prepared an excellent wicket. laislc and C. H. Cato went to the wickets, Marshall | and Wilson doing the trundling for the A team. It will be remembered that in the first round between these teams the ! Bs were all out for 22 in their first innings, and had 300 to make in their j second venture to win, out of which they managed to put on some 240. As both teams are running level, and leading for I the cup the result of this game is watched [ -with interest. Buna came freely, mostly off Nelson. At 50 up B. Cotterill relieved the latter, and bowled Cato in his first over. Cato gave two chances behind the wickets, but otherwise his -runs were well put together. Wolstenholme joined Mb captain, but was bowled for 12 by Marshall. Two for 104. Lusk soon after played one off Marshall on to his wicket. Three for 111. His 72 was a fine display, and with the exception of a chance behind the wickets, was without a mistake. The B team will have to bat a man short in their second innings pwing to Rusk's absence. At 114 Young ran out W. Hughes, and then with Kelly raised the score to 150, when he was bowled by Marshall, Yonng played good cricket for his 22, but should havp been caught Of Wilson earlier. H.

Martin put on 26 in taking style, his running between the wickets being good, particularly when ho and J. Hughes (not out G) got together, and overthrows were numerous owing to the way they bustled the field. The innings closed for 237. The fielding was good at times. Hallamore took Foster's place with the gloves and showed promise of becoming a champion. Marshall might have made more use of the change bowling at his disposal. He himself bowled exceedingly well, and J came out with the beat avorago — five for ! 80. WilßOn, at one time had no wickets for 80, but snapped up the last two for a, single. | At a quarter to 6 Hallamore and ! Cotterill faced the bowling of Wolsten- [ holme and W. Hughes. Tho latter bowled Cotterill in his first over. One for 8. Macassey was cleverly caught by Charleß Cato in Hughes' next over. Two for 14. One run later Balfour was caught at point by Martin off "Wolstenholme. Pinch (6) and Hallamore (18) played out time, Hallamore shaping very well. Tho match will be continued at Hastings next Saturday. Mesdames Philson and Galwey thoughtfully provided afternoon tea, which the players found very refreshing. Messrs Spraggon and White umpired.

Kannin, White and Gardiner being the only men to teach double figures. S. White's 24 (not out) was the result of very careful cricket. The mistake the Soinde batsmen made on Saturday was playing back to Fannin's fast ones instead of going out forward, and no doubt if they remedy this in their second innings the result will be somewhat different. On the County going to the wickets a very different exhibition was witnessed, Gore and Taiaroa both punishing the Scinde bowling severely, and playing good cricket throughout till Gore eventually played one on to his wickets, having compiled 42 in a very masterly style. Cotterill joined Taiaroa, but soon got his leg in front and was out lbw. Lewis was tha noxt mail in, and with Taiaroa played out time, having made 21 not out, Taiaroa's total being 53 not out. The Scinde were not up to their usual form in the field, and will have to mend their ways, and the bowling was of a very erratic nature, this no doubt accounting for a good many of the extras.
