SENIOR CUP MATCHES. The local cup matches were advanced a stage on Saturday, in very hot weather. The senior games were both interesting, the meetings of Lancaster Park and Midland, and United and Warehousemen both resulting in even games, and at the time of writing both games are in an interesting stage. The junior games seem to point to an ultimata easy win for St Albans, and nothing has occurred yet to deprive the Midland President’s Cup team of their lead for the third trophy. Midland v. Lancaster Pakk. This game was continued at Lancaster Park on a good fast wicket. The Midlanders started badly, and with six men out for 60 runs a follow-on seemed inevitable. Principally through Lawrence’s efforts, marred as they were _by a chance or two, and some sturdy uphill play by the tail end, 163 was signalled when the last wicket fell. This total left the western club 40 behind, but good bowling by Robertson and Pearce afterwards neutralised the Park’s advantage, as at, the close - of the day’s play seven of the Lancastrians wickets were down for 88 runs. Of these Cuff claims 63 not out j and, despite the fact that ha should have been caught before ho scored, he deserves great credit v for his determined and skilful hitting. Scores LANCASTER PARK.

WAEEHOtTSEMEN V. UNITED. This game was played afc Hagley Park. The Warehousemen, with a lead of 29 on the first innings, scored 183 in their ■econd venture. This was a very fair total, hut, with 110 up with only one man out, should have been exceeded very considerably. Mahar 56, L&batt 43 and Macfarlane 34 were principally responsible for the mercantile men's good start, but afterwards, with the exception of Baird, none of the tail end seemed able to ofier any resistance to the bowling of Wood and Blyth, The United’s second innings has so far not opened too well, three good batsmen being out for 40 runs.
