CRICKET

WELLINGTON MATCHES. THE SENIOR COMPETITION. MIDLANB MAKES 110 RUNS. The local senior championship matches were' advanced another stage on Snturday afternoon., when tho sixth round games were brought to a conclusion on tho Basin Reserve and at tho Lower Hutt ground. The conditions were very . favourable, but the cricket was not particularly interesting, the whole of the contests being won in the easiest of fashion. Tho feature of the afternoons play was the performance of Midlane for East A. He resumed his interrupted innings, having 111 to his credit, carried his bat out for 140 runs. Tins is tho best local ©core of the season. There were also a couple of good bowling performances. Laws, playing for Central, captured eight of the Peton© men's wickets at a cost of 39 runs, while Kinvig, iu the same match, dispos&cl of five of the Central men at a cost of two runs only. VICTORIA COLLEGE v. WELLINGTON NORTH. This contest, played on the Basin Reserve, resulted in an easy victory tor the Wellington North team, which practically had the upper hand throughout, Tho College team certainly did exceed the first innings score of their opponents, hfiving au advantage of 19 rune, but their second venture was a very feeble one, the whole side being disposed of for the small total of 89 .runs, of which X>r Poster made 37. Apart from him. Do la Mare was the only other one of tho side to reach double figures. Wellington North, whose first innings realised 175, declared in their second with six wickets down for 163 runs, the wisdom of such a course being shown by ‘the subsequent result—a. three-point win. Hickson batted, in good style for his 61, which included two hits for nve and three for four, while Blacklock was commencing to open, out when he got l.b.w. to Dempsey.

CENTRAL v. PETONE. The contest between Central and Petono resulted in the easiest of wins for the Central team. Tho suburban eleven had a deficit,of 69 runs on their first innings, while, their second batting venture only realised 132 runs,, leaving their opponents only 64'-runs to get .to win. This was easily accomplished, Central winning by seven wickets. Scores:— 1 • : PETONE.—First Innings.

Aa appeared very probable the contest between the A and B teams of the East Club resulted in an easy victory for the A eleven, which won by an innings,

five wickets, and 98 runs. Midlane gave further evidence of his present batting form, by carrying his previous week's total of 111 to 140 without being dismissed, the innings being declared with 337 runs on the telegraph for five wickets. The second batting effort of the B team, while productive of more runs than the first, was not particularly successful, the side being disposed of for 150 runs. Bowles was lop scoreivwith 42, Claridge being nest with 30. Wilson and Collett were the only other two to obtain double figures.
