CRICKET.

FIRST GRADE. ALBION v. MOBNINGTON. Tile match between. Albion and Mornington was commenced on the North Ground on Saturday, and on paper Albion appear to have a good chance of securing a. oneinnings victory. Cricket, however, is an uncertain game and one productive stand might make ouch a win impossible None of tho Mornington batsmen ever shaped at all confidently at either Shepherd or Carlton, and the innings closed for 65, of which 16 were byes and four log-byes. Notwithstanding the appearance of these figures Binney kept wickets well, and his stumping of Cameron was such a bit of work as, unfortunately, is not often seen in First Grade cricket. Shepherd maintained an awkward length throughout, and bumped a lot, while Carlton, though he sent down some loose ones, also bowled well. The former secured 6 wickets for 12 and the latter three for 33. Shepherd opened confidently for Albion, and batted fairly freely, but was caught off Dickel when he had mode 48. Siedeberg was not long in getting into double figures, and batted aggressively, scoring two sixers. He looked set for a centuyy when he was stumped while attempting another sixer. The innings closed for ISO runs, giving Albion a lead of 115 on the first innings.

Grange went in first, and made 160 runs, Keast batting well for 41. Banfiom, a youth, also shaped well for 26. Dickinson is suffering from an injury to his hack and bowled only a few overs. I he Carisbrook batsmen have so far given a weak exhibition, and Grange should score a comfortable win. ■ Details: - Grange.—First Innings, Keast, c Livingstone, b Et Harraway ... 41 Conradi, run out-.; ... ... 7 Chadwick, b Dickinson ~j 1, 6 Galland, .b E.

DUNEDIN v. CARISBROQKUNFVERSITY. These teams met on the Caledonian the latter being a not fully representative team. Dunedin won the toss, and went in to bat on a wicket that' certainly did not favour the bowlers. Misfortune marked the opening of the innings,, for Edwards was run out without scoring; and Grigg was oaught when he had made eight, but Strang and Higgins got together and the score was carried to 61 before Strang was bowled. Cherry and Higgins made a fine stand, adding 59 to the score, when Cherry was bowled for 51. Higgins played a free but not aggressive innings for 80, and he succumbed to.,a good catch. -He was missed in the field two or three times during his innings. Casey scored 21 fairly speedily, and Bond put on a similar number (not out), though scarcely in cricketerlike fashion. The last wicket added 49 to the score. H. O. Alloo and Kennedy were the first representatives of Carisbrook-Uni-versity, and by bright and attractive cricket bad put on 60 foV their side, without disaster, when time was called, each batsman, having scored 26! < Details : Dunedin.—First- Innings.
