CRICKET.

The second scries of matches coinnnenced in cold southerly weather. Bain fell during the first how's play, 'being sufficiently heavy on one occasion to necessitate a short, adjournment. The bowlers were handicapped by the wet. ball, sawdust having to be freely used. Midland won. the toss and elected to bat. Bums came steadily during the first houT's play,. but thereafter the rate of scoring dropped [ until late in (the afternoon when matters livened up again. The town team, scoreds 276 of iwMch W. A. Baker scored ,170 approximately two thirds of the total. The veteran played a fine innings, scoring with, a wide range of shots, showing (particular liking . for anything on the leg side. His big score was compiled in afbont three and a half hours, which, was good going, having regard to the state of the outfield after the rain. The next highest scorer was Standige with 42, made in attractive style.- The aiost successful bawled for Hutt was McGirr who secured' 4 wickets for 67 off 214 overs. Judd 2 for 49 . and Beard 2 for 76 Valso bowled well. Warnes, 1 for 55, did not have the best of luck, several uppish, shots falling just clear of fieldsmen. ..'

3STOTES. ' .. ' • The usual holiday touring team will be wandering south during Xmas. The programme allows for matches at Ashburton, Teinukaj Geraldine and Timaru. Any players who can make the trip are requested to notify Mr. McSherry (the secretary) riot later than Saturday.

Ttliree centuries on consecutive playing Saturdays .is rather unusual on the Hutt wicket. The groundsman should be receiving compliments for a change.

McGrirr handldd ,;his attack reasonably well, but has not yet opened with a slow bowled. Beard and Warnes shoiuld open the'attack. '„. .•

a-jie Hutt fielding was good in parts, those outstanding being Warnes, Lees, Boss and MeKenzie. . .

The H Junior A's have last year's cham-pion-T—Karori—on the. run. The\ Mil men require 184 for a first inning's Win with 6 wickets in hand. Bill Elsom was right on the spot, securing all four wickets and also got 45 with, the bat. Heaps 51, batted well as also.did Pegler 33, and Lockett 35. .

Weibster of the Junior B 1, scored a century'in hurricane fashion, the runs being made in one hour twenty minutes. Eighten fours and four sixers accounted for all l>ut eighteenl of his total of ii4 v '..;'.'■■.

The. Colts' team appears to be well on the way for anot&er eight point win Bpib Cameron, was promoted to this team, showing his appreciation by bagging 5 for 31. Mudgway made 52 runs in attractive style, all but two runs being the result of boundary hits.

Congratulations, to Frank Warnes upon his inclusion-in, the team to meet tho West .Indies. •

Some difficulty is experienced in obtaining results of snatches when teams are playing away. Captains of teams nee- requested to telephone 769 before m«i-day each Monday to ensure that their scores are published!
