CRICKET.

\V >. _ answers to

Junior.— A batsman may play a ball breaking from outside the line between the wickets with his legs. This is a favorite trick of Shrewsbury’s. .To get l.b.w. the ball must pitch on a point exactly on a line between ' the two wickets. . . , ~ Poneke.— lf either the batsman or his substitute be out of his ground when the wicket is put down (the ball being in play) the batsman is out.

Point —La.wson is, without doubt, the bast bowler in Wellington at the present time.

SENIOR CUP.

The Midland-Pheenix heat of the Senior Cup was concluded on the Basin Reserve last night week in the presence of about 200 spectators, Holle and R. Blaeklock, the not-ont men of the previous day, facing the bowling ©f Wilson-Duret and Creeks. After adding one to the score, Holle was clean bowled by Creeks. McGirr joined Blacklock, and after making 5 was beautifully taken at the wickets by Motley. With 6 runs wanted J. Blaeklock joined his brother, and the pair by careful play succeeded in putting up the required number of runs, the Midland thus winning a well-contested game with three wickets to spare. The following are the scores of the Midlands’ second innings : Marsden, b Wilson-Duret ... 4

Mr Heenan, late of the Wellington Club,, has thrown in his lot with the Midland Clnb for cup matches. The Midland Club are to be congratulated on their latest addition to their ranks, as Mr Heenan is one of the. best bats in the Colony. PONEKE V. STARS. This match was commenced on Saturday. The Ponekes went to the wickets first, and being unable to make any stand against the bowling of Roberts and Dryden, were all dismissed for 30, of which Blandford and Stinson (two ex-Surrey men who are a great acquisition to the Poneke Club) made seven and six respectively. This looked an easy thing to beat; but the Stars, strange to say, could not get within nine of the Poneke total, and the last wicket fell for 20. Gooder was about the only man who made anything like a stand, and he kept his wicket up well until at last he participated in the general depression. The Ponekes then made a second attempt, and were all out for 59, when time was called. Of this number Nicholis made 19 and Francis 12. Thus the Stars want to get 70 in their second innings to win. The wicket was a capital, one, and the poor display the batsmen made « can only be accounted for by the excellence of the bowling. The fielding, too, was capital all round.

St. Patrick’s College. The College went first to the wickets, and succeeded in putting together 117 before the fall of the last wicuet. The Ponekes made but a poor stand, being all disposed of for the, small total of 5. They followed on, and when stumps were drawn i they had lost seven wickets for 23, thus leaving them 89 to get to save an innings defeat. Pownall was the most successful bowler fot? the Ponekes.

Surrey heat ,of the Junior Cup, which was commenced on the Basin Reserve the previous week, was concluded on Saturday on the Phoenix ground at Island Bay. The Phoenix, with four wickets down for 48, continued their second innings, .but did not make much of a stand, the remaining wickets only adding 25 to the score, making the total of the innings 73 ; Taylor, 7 not out, and Farmer and Watty, 7 each, doing best. The Surrey’s second innings was of even shorter duration than their first of 15 the previous Saturday, lor Benbow, junior, and Taylor again got them all out for 14 runs, Beveridge and Edwards (5 each) alone making over a single. Benbow took five and Taylor three wickets for 6 runs each. Beveridge did best bowling service for the Surrey, getting eight wickets for 29 runs, and Edwards took two for 31. The full scores are:— Phoenix, first innings, 48; second do, 73 ; total, 121. Surrey, first innings, 15 ; second do, 14 ; total, 29. The Phoenix thus •won by 92 runs. Ashley Second v. College First.— The College went to the wickets first and made 50—Collins, 19 ; Sproule, 6 ; Morrah (not out), 5. Their opponents followed, and just topped the score by 1, being all disposed of for 51—Ramsay, 10 j Oswin, 10 ; Lewis, 7. The College went in for their second innings, and when time was called had lost four wickets for 83 runs—Kemble, 39; Collins, 32 ■ Heine (not out), 8. For the Ashleys Fitzsimmons took six for 17 and Taylor two for 9. For the College, Lyndon got two for 2, Hume four for 8, and Heine two for 9. OTHER MATCHES. The Hutt Park and Phoenix first elevens met on the ground of the former on Saturday, play commencing shortly after 3 o’clock. Motley won the toss for the Phoenix, and elected to bat. The pitch was a trifle soft, and the grass hardly short enough to admit of fast scoring, hits that should ordinarily result in 3’s and 4’s bringing-only singles. This will be seen when it is stated that after being at the wickets for about two hours the Phoenix last wicket fell for the moderate total of G 3. Gf this, Vincent made 17 j Morice, 12, not outj and Webb, 10 : Motley and Riley getting 8 each. Welsh took three wickets for 25 runs; Joplin, three for 14; Pringle, two for 2; and Holle, one for 7; Allan and Heenan also bowled, but took no wickets. The Hutt men began batting a little after 5 o’clock, but only had made 25 when the laßt wicket fell shortly before the call of time, Holle and Joplin (5 each), and Heenan and Welsh (4 each) being the only scores above a single. Creeks bowled well, taking 5 wickets for 4 runs ; while Motley got 2 for 2. Webb sent down three overs, all maidens ; and Boddam bowled six overs for 25 runs and no wickets. Neither team had its full strength.
