CBICKET. PATEAROA NATIVES V. IJAREBY KA'fI\ r ES. The return match was played at Patearoa on Thursday, 4oh List, and this time the iS'aseby boys, managed to turn the tables o.n their cousins acrpss the plain by the narrow margin of four runs in" a full two innings match. The team enjoyed the trip "very much and are loud in their praises of the friendly welcome they inet with, The match, which was witnessed by a considerable number of •spectators, was very exciting, and was anybody's up to, the fall of the last wicket, Horswell was remarkably effective with the ball for hp scattered the timbers of six players in tqe first and seven in the second innings for a total of 21 runs; while for the home team, Churnside held the honours with the ball in. the first innings with six wickets for 11 runs,, and A. Cambridge in the second with seven wickets for eight runs. Wilson, one of our most "promising colts, made the highest score for his side with 15 and 8; and Horswell gained the highest score of the match with 25 in first innings. Horswell captained Naseby Veil, as did F. Schrick for. Patearoa. Subjoined are the scores :—. WASEBY.

Writing of this match, our Patearoa correspondent says : /The retupi match between the above teams vffl long be remembered by the Patearoa boys as «the match that Bob HqrsweH won." Thetfaseby team arrived here in good time and play was begun at once, the local men taking the field. The visitors were all disposed of in their first inning for the small total of 41, of which Horswells share whs 25 got "by packet Qf a thoroughly sound description. He should, have carri.d his bat but ran, himself out through over eagerness to score \yhen there was one man to go in. The Patearoa men in their first attempt fared even a?-? 8 ' with tl,e exception of J. WilSpn, who scored a resolute and Very well obtained 15, and his brother .Peter, who annexed a fearless nine none of the batsmen made any stand against'the deadly deliveries of Oaptain Harwell. J. Mnrslin also bowled .well but witl, hard luck, a number of balls irom him just shaving the off st'imp after beating the batsmen; Several patches were alsq missed off his bowling. Tl)e n.nirgs closed for 37, four behind Naseby. At this stage of the game an adjournment was marie to the hqtel fp,- refreshments, and if one could judge by the smiling faces of the players on emerging, and the nattering l-n.arks passed bv the visitors on the q -lahty qf Patearoa beef, Mr Kennedy's etiorts to please them must have been completely successful. On the game being resumed a short 6'and was made by J. IU-mdin and J. JHore, the former scoring seven, and the latter five. Joe seemed set for a h.rge score, but the temptation to run himself out was to gnat to be resisted, ihe bowling not beinu quite up to the niark, Arthur Cambridge wat then given a trial, with startling resulb. After a few soft ones he setth-d down

io a splendid longth with unerring precision, Batsman ' after batsman ame and went until in a very short time the innings came to an "end for the poor total of 32, of which Ladd scored live, and Bellis six no;t out. This left the home team 31 tq win, a number that merely served to. suggest thoughts, amongst them, as to how many wickets they were going to win by. After the first four Vickets had put on 24, of which O. Cambridge and J. "Wilson each, claimed eight, and A, Cambridge a safe six, the game seemed all over. However, a few of the more experienced amongst the spectators, who noticed the bailful glitter eyes of the Naseby " tiger," kad' their ; doubts, doubts that were 'speedily strengthened as wicket after, wicket fell with scarcely any addition to, the score. When only one picket had to fall, with six runs to, get, Marsiin, who bad been sendiog. down a few j ioo.se ones that only prevented from being punished by the nervousness of the later, lbatsmen, was replaced by Lennane. The profound silence that reigned, the bcwler stepped up to deliver his first ball was only broken by the crash caused by. a hair as' it fell from an, adjacent horse's tail. The. first ball was' a wandering wide.; the second was a lovely long-hop that should have been banged to the butter factory, but was left untouched, while the third was a plain, straight, good length ball that was wildly wiped at long after the middle stump hacj performed a somersault. Naseby thus won a most exciting game by four. runs. The bowlers •« ho performed bestwere Horswell, for Naseby, who, had the •splendid analysis of 12 far 17; A. Cambridge, for Patearoa (who did the hat trick) seven wickets for seven ; W. Churnside, six for eighteen ; and Jack Wilson, two for six. The fielding all round, with one or two exceptions, was very good, the Patearoa men being especially good at catching, nota.chance being refused. Young, for IJiseby, I and King, for Patearoa, performed well with the gloves, the former stop j ping some regular stingers fro,m Horswell in capital style. The best fieldsman o.n the ground, however, Was ! undoubtedly Tom Ladd, who did a lot of very smart and clean ground fielding, and in addition made, a particularly smart catch at point, while he nearly in twinging off another that any. ordinary fieldsman would have deemed impossible. Jo? Hore, $t lon,g stop, caused a hearty laugh by the old dodge of picking up the ball and pretending it had passed him, the. comical way he did it was ; very, laughable. By the by, the burly .ffaseby native who was stationed at m'd-in, and whi rep?atedly requested a fellow-fieldsman whom he addressed as "Jimmy" to " coom a bit squeerer," is the possessor of a rich accent that was strangely suggestive o*. Yorkshire.
