SENIOR CUP. Catiisbrook A v. Opoho,

This fixture was commenced at Opoho on Saturday, and the home team winning the toss elected to b*t. Clarke and Hendry were sent out to face the bowling of Fisher and Hops, but off the former's first over Heniiry was smartly caught at the wickets by Burt. • Goooh joined Clarke, and carried the score to 20 before the Opoho crank waa clean bowled by Fisher. Kilgour, tba next batsman, played very steadily, bat succumbed fco the same bowler with the total at 26. M'Kenzie partnered Gooch, but only 11 rune had been added before the latter was caught by R&ttray. Wells was dismissed first ball, and M'Leau was bowled the oaaae over, and the innings closed for 67. M'Kenzie earned out his bat for a most useful contribution oE 23, the result of free hitting. Fisher's deliveries puzzled all the bat3tnen greatly, and bis performance of securing the whole 10 wickets for 25 runs I waa a remarkable one. Ctmbrook opened their innings with Fisher end Borton, but off Welis's first over Borton was easily stumped by Lesr. ' Liggina joined Fisher, but the score had only been raised to 14- when the latter was caught oat. On Motice partnering Liggius a different oomplexion wss put on the game, both batsmen playing with great freedom and confidence. The Opoho total was passed acd it was not till the score stood at 108 that a separation was effected, Morite bxiug then well caught by Clarke in the long field. The retiring batsman had. played a sound innings and never gave anything approaching a chance. Included in his 56 were one 4- and eleven s's. Spraggon, the incomer, stayed till the total had reached 123, boing then run eufc, Rattray filling the vacancy. Liggias continued to score very freely, and Rattray appeared to be getting well set when he was caught and bowled by Hendry, although from the pavilion the catch appeared very doubtful. Austin stayed till the total stood at 194, but was then "bowled by Webb. At 207 the long innings of Liggins came to an end, he being brilliantly caught by M'Lean at mid-wicket. The retiring batsman had been at the wicket a little over two hours and as far as could be seen only gave one chance, that of stumping when his score was about 60.- He played brilliantly all round ,the wicket and treated all the bowling with the utmost confidence. lucluded in his 102 were one 4 and fifteen 3's. At the call of time the Carisbrook total stood at 212 for eight wickets. The fielding of the Opoho was very good, M'Kenzie and Shea being particularly aocurate. Appended ars the details :■— . . -
