SATURDAY'S GAMES. The public was largely represented at the Basin Reserve on Saturday afternoon, when tlio second set of matches for the Wellington Cricket Association's championship commenced. Phoenix astonished their most ardent supporters by smacking the Wellington bawling to all quarters of the compass and putting on over 300 runs. Redgrave played a fast, punishing innings, and rattled on 98 in a shade over two hours. , Then he hit up a lofty one that was well held in the long field by Williamson. Day and Waters mad© a further good stand, and at tho end. of two and a half hours* play 300 was on the board. These Players continued to score freely, and 218 runs were on the board when Day hit a high chance to the outfield, the ball being well held by S. Hickson. Next ball Waters fell a victim to Hale®. Brice batted with great vigour, andl when stumps were drawn he had. an individual score .of 45 and h'is team's total was 311 for nine wickets. Hales, who did the bulk of the Wellington bowling, performed best with the ball. Old'Boys failed miserably with the bat against Midland. All ten wickets were down in three minutes over an hour, tho total score being only 57 Tucker (11). J. P. Blacklock (11) and Kirkcalclie (12 not out) were the only double-figure scorers. Stephenson's bowling was very deadly, six wickets falling before it for 28 runs. Tho Midland innings started badly. Moss and, Wey-bourn-e being both out for a total of only 19 runs, but the ensuing botsinen altered tho complexion of events. C. Hickyon made 50 in fine style.
