Those two players carried the score to 44, when Wilson lost, his wicket to Callaway by a catch in the slijis, well taken low down] by J. Downed. Young played another very steady innings, l'ortcous, ;i recruit from the Second Grade, plajod a patient innings for 16, but. lie was a little troubled at first with Callaway's well-pitched balls. If he would go at. the bowling with a little more dash he would probably become a ijcod rungot tor. Mackcrsy played a valuable innings for 32. und De la Mara anil Torrance reached double figures.

Cahisbhook A v. Albion. A large number of spectators witnessed the Albion v. Ciwisbrook A match, plaved on the North .Ground. The. wicket pkred last and true, save for an ococasional rising ball. Wordsworth, winning the toss from Harraway, decided to but, Mi'arlano and Hiddleston opening. Hmdlcston was soon into double figures driving Fisher for a 4 and two 6's Doth colts appeared well set, when Hiddleston played on to Fisher. One wicket for 25 runs. The retiring batsman played well for 17. ■ Williams joined M'Farlane, a.nd took the score to 54, when M'Farlane was finely caught by Blamires for 28, made bv beautiful cricket. Oamoml lwd reached' double figures when Fisher joined him. Three for 66. On Drake joining Williamsanotber stand was, made. At 105, however, Fisher clean bowled Williams (27). On Fisher changing end's, a. decided "rot" set in, and the innings _ close ■• for the moderate total of 122. Fisher bowled splendidly, his average reading seven wickets for 59. Hopkins ami Uttley started the Carisbrook's innings, Wordsworth and Cumniinga bowling. With the total at 26, Cummings bowled Uttley (14). Adiuns was dismissed' by Williams catching him. Two wickets for 29 runs. Banuorman and Hopkins becoming associated, a useful stand ensued. Hopkins was playing bea.utiful cricket, but should have been eau'rht I when at 14. With the total at 55. Bauj nermO'ii, playing Ixick to Wordsworth, bit ; his wicket. Rutherford coming in, the i score reached 88, when M'Farkwe (who | had relieved Cummings) bowled him for 14, with the total unaltered. Hopkins was beaten by Wordsworth for 32. With five wickots down for 88, the Carisbvook's supporters were confident that the Albion's total would be passed. M'Farlane, however, had to be reckoned with, and tho colt showed his all-round versatility by bowling in splendid style, and the innings closed for 114 (8 runs tee than Albion's tat»l). Wordsworth (five wickets for 54 runs), bowling with the wind, came along at a. tremendous pace, and had most of (he batsmen in difficulties. M'Farlane, against the wind, seoimed four for 14. With 30 minutes to play, M'Farlane and Hiddleston started tho Albion's second inning, and' had knocked up 56 without lf-ss when stumps wore drawn. Scores:—
