CRICKET

UNION v. ALBION. Union sent Albion in to bat, Jacobs and Sampson opening to Maddigan and M'Donald. Maddigan was kicking off the wicket dangerously, and both batsmen were very subdued, several maiden overs resulting. The total reached 19, when Jacobs edged one to M'Beath. ABrooker was dismissed for a single by Maddigan, and Davey went without scoring, Robbie holding a brilliant catch. Geddes snicked an easy one to M'Callum, who dropped it, and was run out in the same over after a patient stand for 12 runs. M'Laren was the next to go. lifting Maddigan for a catch. Palmer joined Geddes, who square cut M'Donald twice in the same over, and Palmer then had his wicket thrown down by Robbie. Geddes put bis leg in front at 14, and, after driving Maddigan for a boundary, Taylor was clean bowled. Dennis drove Maddigan twice to the boundary, and at 20 skied a ball on the leg side and was caught. L. Brooker was held behind the wickets, and the innings closed for the poor total of 78 runs. . Maddigan was the most successful bowler, swinging nicely and turning sharply at times. Borrows and Maddigan opened Unions strike, and took the score past the century by fast cricket, when Sampson held a good catch from Maddigan, who hit out hard for his 49 runs. Meikle joined Borrows, who was caught by Palmer shortly after. He had batted soundly with good shots all round the wicket for his half-century. Meikle hit out at everything sent down, and reached 60 runs before he fell a victim to Davey. His was a lucky strike, his total including three sixes and nine fours. J. Robertson failed to score, being run out through a smart return by Taylor. M'Donald was not comfortable, and was caught in the slips, and at stumps Brown and Hunter were undefeated with 48 and 39 runs respectively, the total reading five wickets for 278. Davey and Taylor were Albion’s best bowlers, but were not well supported by the field. Scores; — ALBION. First Innings. Sampson, rim out 12 Jacobs, c M'Beath, b.M Donald .... 11 A.

An almost similar result was reached in the School-Oamaru match, School being dismissed for 70 runs, while Oamaru compiled 234 runs for the loss of five wickets. School won the toss and elected to bat, R. D. Dick and Mathias opening. Dick went cheaply to Zimmerman, and Mathias was run out at 16 runs. Kent scored 18 with good shots when he was caught by Hendra, and the next four batsmen produced only three runs. L. Watson batted cautiously and ran into double figures, undefeated, and J. Dick compiled 14 before falling a victim to Hendra, the innings closing for the poor total of 70 runs. Zimmerman was the most successful bowler for Oamaru. bagging five wickets for 24 runs, Kent dismissed Uttley for eight runs, but L. Sumpter and Zimmerman formed a prolific partnership and scored rapidly, taking the total past the century before Sumpter was stumped. His total of 47 included several boundaries. Zimmerman had passed his half-century when he put his leg in front to a straight one. Smith and K. Sumpter went cheaply, but Milner and K. Walton piled on the runs, and were unbeaten at stumps with the score at 234 for the loss of five wickets. Milner’s strike for 41 runs was a valuable one to his side, while K. Walton reached 72 runs at the close of play.. Scores: —

The committee of the Gardening Circle of the North Otago Women’s Club met at afternoon tea to bid farewell to Mr and Mrs J. Tait, who are leaving this week on a trip to the Old Country. Mr s Tait is an enthusiastic member of the committee, and the opportunity was taken to express thanks for the interesting talks and the assistance that both Mr and Mrs Tait had always so generously given to the circle, and to wish them bon voyage and a pleasant holiday. A short time was spent discussing various plants, and a visit was paid to the rose beds and the greenhouse, where the begonias are making such a glorious display at the present time.
