SENIOR CUP MATCHES, Cabisbiiook v. Albion.

Despito the unfavourable nature of tbe weather, this match was continued and brought to a conclusion on the Carisbrook ground on Saturday afternoon, the home team winning by eight wickets. The wicltet was in very fair order, but the heavy rain the night before had made it slow from a batsman's point of view. Luckily the rain kept off overhead, but tho long grass in the outfield was dripping wet, and sawdust was the order of the day for the bowlers. The heavy ground, combined with the long grass in the outfield, made scoring slow and difficult—the hardest drives along the carpet only realising a single instead of reaching the boundary. On the previous Saturday the Albion had completed their first innings for a total of 88, and had succeeded in dismissing four of the Carisbroob representatives for 43. Beck aud Fisher, thn two not-out men, resumed their places at 3 o'clock, and, to the delight of the Albion supporters, Carr dismissed Beck and Harper in his first over, without a run being scored —the former being taken at slip and tbe latter behind the wickets. Tha telegraph showed 45—6—0 as Morice joined Fisher, and the score was t&k«n to 96 before tha latter was pell taken at the wickets by Croxford. Butlin (8) and E. J. Austin (who, owing to a badly iojured hand, could only stonewall) lent valn-tttlo-oc«ififca«na t-si~Wiahav r —\nhn mma ~*j tact splendidly caught at short slip by M'Farlane (130—9—60); and as T. L. Austin wa3 absent from town on business, tha innings closed for that number. Fishor played a valuable but lucky innings, and well deserved the applause which greeted him on his return to the pivilion. He made his runs at a time when they were badly wanted, and in compiling his score hit well" snd vigorously &U round the wicket. Ho made a number of splendid drives both to the on and the off, and some hard and pretty cuts were al3O credited to him. In their second venture the Albion compiled 71, of which J. Back made 33. He played a sound patient innings, in which all the straight bowling was carefully played, but anything at all off the wicket on either side he treated very unceremoniously. His score included four S's, M'Kinley being tho only other batsman who made a stroke of similar value. No less than three of the batsmen being run out, and as two men should have shared tha same fate, it would appear cs if the batsmen were at fault in their judgment of a run. Bell, with three for 15, was the most successful truadler for the Carisbrook, his peculiar round-the-corner doliyery, and tremendous leg break puzzling the batsmen. With 30 runs to get to win, Ball sent in Fisher and Harper. Tha former was bowled off his pads for o single and made way for Stronach. Immediately afterwsrd3 Harper cut B ball from Carr into his wicket, B—2—3. Morice joined Stronach, and by careful p'.ay the required number of runs was obtained, tha winning hit being a hard and pretty cut by the latter off Manley to the boundary. The veteran Carr bowled Bplendiilly for the Albion throughout, his high delivery and abrupt rise from the pitch requiting careful attention from the batsmen.

Wa&ehousemen v. Wanderers. The cup match between the Warehousemen and Wanderers Clubs wa3 continued at the Ova! on Saturdsy. There was a good attendauca of spectators, au unusual amount of interest being j token in the game. Tha Wanderers, who on the previous Saturday had lost five wickets for 55 as against, the Warehousemen's 119> resumed I that innings, which closed for 82, Gregory ' carrying his bat for 13. la the Warehousemen's j second innings, Williams and M'Rorio, the two j first batsmen, forced the play, 51 runs being scored before the former was dismissed, after ! plajirjg a free innings for 34, included in which j wero two splendid drives out of the ground. ! With the exception of H'Rorie (24) and Fish ! (9), none of the other batsmen made any stand, the innings (batting one short) totalling but 79. Tho Wanderers commenced their second innings requiring 117 to wia, but could only resrond with CO, thu3 leaving the Warehousemen easy victors by 5G runs. Knox (19) and Carver (14) batted freely for their ruas, but received little support from the remaining players. Stepheasou bowled excellently as his analysis will show. The wicket owing to the recent ruin played badly. Scores :— Waiieiiousbmex. Waxtjbrbhs. Second luuings. Second Innings.

In the second tho local team did better, making 62 for seven wickets (J. H. Crawford 22 not out) playing very patient cricket. Haussenc, Kelly, Waters, and Straohan were the bowlers for their respective sides.
