PHOENIX v. WELLINGTON. j The final heat for the Senior Cap was con- | tinned on Saturday, and ended in a victory , for the Phcenix by an innings and 60 runs, ‘ who tbna become the holders of the Cup for the season, an hononr which they fully j deserve for their assiduous practice. The ground was in a very sloppy state after the 1 rain, which made the ball very slippery. The Phcenix continued their innings of the _ previous Saturday. Frith (not out 55) and ‘ Hemery (3. Roberts, not out 11, being nn- ’ able to play through illness) going into bat, but only one was added to the score before Frith was caught in the long-field by 0. Gore. The Wellingtons started their second innings and made a much better stand than the first, the score reaching 97 before the last wicket fell. R. Gore, Newbold, and < Francis (not out) were the only men who made any stand against the excellent bowl ing of Frith, who got six wickets for 34.
