With nine rune to win and four wickets to fall, the game looked a moral for the suburban team, .bat Gibson (Thorndon House) took charge ot the bowling crease, and succeeded in getting rid of Brown, Rnasol), and F. Mason in three successive balls, thus performing the ‘bat trick,’ the innings closing tor 91. F. Mason was severely hurt in the back with the ball, and was carried off tho field in a faint, but after a considerable period bad elapsed he came too. Dawson and Lanham also bowled well for the victors, as did Pringle and Pilcher for the losers. During the afternoon light refreshments were handed round by the lady assistants of Klrkcaldie and Stains, and in recognition of their services, Councillor Brown, on behalf of the Waiwetu team, banded each of them a handsome bouquet of flowers. At the conclusion of the game the teams interchanged cheers, and a combined cheer for the ladies was also given. The St Patrick's College eleven have withdrawn from the Junior Cup contest.
