CRICKET.

FIRST GRADE MATCHES. The two first grade cricket matches were concluded on the North Ground on Saturday. The weather was showery, and a sirong wind considerably hampered the bowlers. Grange secured a two-point win on the first innings against Dunedin, and Albion met with similar success against Carisbrook. GRANGE v. DUNEDIN. On the first day of the Grange-Dunedin match Grange made 243 and Dundin lost one wicket for 23. When play was resumed on Saturday, Galland and Conradi opened the bowling, and soon of the remaining Dunedin batsmen. M’Farlune and Eckhold were the only two to make a stand, M'Farlane scoring 45 and Eckhold 24. M'Farlane played good cricket, and scored all round the wicket, his total including eight fours and one six. As Dunedin had compiled only 136 runs in the first innings, they were again sent in to bat. Cherry scored freely, and knocked up 72 before he was caught by Chadwick. His score included a dozen fours. Strang did not play as aggressively ns Cherry, but added 27 to the total by means of good strokes. Baker arrived late, but in time to bat, and scored 27 not out by nice cricket. In the first innings Galland and Conradi bowled well, the former taking five wickets for 45 runs and the latter four for 52. In the second innings they did not meet with the same success, and three other bowlers were tried. M'Gregor and Collett were the best of these, the former capturing four wickets for 56 and the latter three for 41. The third ball of M’Gregor's fifth over M'Farlane hit over the trees for six,, but with the next ball but one M'Gregor had his revenge, getting M'Farlane leg-before-wicket. Scores GHANUE.
