CRICKET.

FATEAROA V. NASEBY A. TheTjent players have right loyally rallied to the help of the club that was 3 few year" ngo the champion of the plains. All that is now needed, and here cornea the pinch to men who arc working away on the rocky heights of tho surrounding hills, is plenty of practice. When Nasehy and Patearoa meet there is always a large measure of interest exhibited, for people cannot forget the fine old tussled when a look at Air G'rerar's face wan sufficient to say which side had won. In those days Patearoa won on their lielding ; on Saturday they lost on it. When Johnston nnd Co. used to dispose of batsmen by wonderful catches. we heard the spectators speaking °f hags. Are tho bags wearing out and hecoraing holey ? While speaking of cntching, it is hut right to give credit to Tom .Johnston, W. and Joe Hore for specially clever catching. The last named brought off ii lightning performance and the batsman is not yer, satisfied that he should go out from n stroke which ho t bought was tv certain boundary hit. The batting all round was not up to Trumper's best form, while the running between the wickets was simply I "We tried many runs that we should not have tried, and we left maDy runs I hat we should have tried, and there is no Grace in us." The bowling was quite good enough for the batting and O'Driscoll came through the first innings with 6 wiefcets for 6 runs. His pace was too tnuch for the majority of the batsmen who ire not used to such express stuff Captain Wilson was particularly unkntunate in being struck severely in the eye, and it is to lie hoped thnt no Kerions consequences will follow. Such accidents *re eye-openers to the dangers of cricket.

Messrs Crersr and A. Mnrslin umpired, while Mess's Dixon nnd Deehan scored. The visitorn were cutertaincd at the Royal where Host Ilyan provided a sumptuous repast. Scores : Naskbv.—First Inning?.
