THE CUP MATCHES.

DUNEDIN V. OABISBROOK. Thiß match was continued on Saturday on the Caledonian Ground. The state of the game on finishing the previous week was that Carisbrook had five down for 22, Rose being not out with 1 ; and D. Cargill, his vis-O'Vis, with 0. These two players took up the batting on Saturday, but failed to score before Glen dismissed them. Vernon and Austin followed, and made a change in the game. Vernon, however, had two lives given him by. Spring when he had scored five or six — one behind the wickets, and -the other a, skyer the Dunedin captain very badly judged; Austin also hadalife from his bowler, Glen ; and these mistakes made a difference in the total Vernon made his runs quickly, in fair cricketing style. Niven, the last man, was dismissed by a neat catch at r the hands of Spring, the innings closing for 56. Glen and Paramor bowled throughout the whole of the innings, and the analysis shows a highly respectable average for both. Haskell's fielding was particularly worthy of remark. Paramor and Barrow (the latter the.not-out man of the previous innings), for Dunedin, first faced the bowling of MacNeil and Bannatyne. Paramor at once began to score, and played a dashing innings of 15 before he was sent back for an lbw. Barrow defended his stumps well, playing patiently, and , got a special round of applause for his performance on returning to the pavilion. Wynks put 21 together, in perhaps the beßt style he has ever shown. Crawshaw was at the wickets a very long time for his 13, and while he and Haskell were in the runs came very slowly. Collinso'n put life into the game and hit put cleanly and fine, occasionally also showing some very protty forward play. Clark's innings was decidedly that of the day. His hitting was free and clever, and he was several times warmly cheered. Spring had only made one hit for 3 when time was called. The innings had then reached 120, every man having scored, and in all but one case having got into double figures. Mostof the innings Rose kept wickets, or rather Btocd at short-stop, a man thus being added to the field. But it is questionable whether Niven and a long-stop would not have been more advantageous. Rose lost , at least four chances of running men out, and, of course, no stumping resulted. Carißbrook's fielding was fair, and the bowling was also good, especially that of Austin— who stuck the batsmen up several times, and took Crawshaw and Collinson with perfect beauty-balls— and MacNeil. As the game stands at present, Cariubrook would seem to have very little chance of a win, requiring no less than 176 runs to tie, while in all probability Dunedin is good for 30 or 40 more, so that a couple of centuries may be wanted— a score beyond the possibilities. The following is the scoring so far:—

ALBION V. UmVIBSITY. In their first innings the previous Saturday the Albions scored 67, and the University 50, w<th six wickets to fall. It was thought the latter would have little difficulty in topping the other's score, but Fate and the good trundling of Duckmanton willed otherwise, six only being added when the lust wicket fell, making the total 56. Douglas and Buckland went in first for tke Albions in their second • innings, and succeeded in running up a tall score before they were separated, Douglas playing nearly three hours for his contribution of 38 runs, giving two or three > cbaneeß. When 90 run appeared cm the board 1 three wickets only had fallen, all caught > off Fowler. Moore then bad a hand, 5 making six wiokets in a& many overs for five > runs. The University', second innings began

badly, three wicßata falling for as many runs. The match will be continued on Saturday next; when it is to bo hoped a better stand will be made by tbe University. For the Albions Parker and Duckmanton bowled remarkably well. With the exception of Cameron at point, who always fields well, the fielding and batting of the "University was very poor indeed. The following are the scores of Saturday:—

A cricket match was played on Saturday, on the Oval,, between an eleven of theWaverley CO. and an eleven of the Excelsior C.C., which resulted in an easy victory for the latter by three runs and eight wickets to spare. The following are the scores :— Waverley C.C. : Hunter, 0 and 0 ; Hay, 0 and 1 ; Adams, 5 and 1 ; White, 0 aud 4 ; T, Home, 21 and 0 ; Henderson, 0 and 6 ; Johnstone, 0 and 1 ; M'lvor, 0 and 1; F. Home, 11 and 0; G. Haigh, 1 and 7 ; S. Henderson, 0 and 1 ; extras, 7 ;— total, 67. Excelsior C.C. : Riddock, 1 and 0 ; J. Leith, 31 and 18 ; Hay, 0 and 3 ; Fleming, 0 and 0 ; Brown, 4 and 0 ; Petherick, 0 ; Jewitt, 3 ; Sims, 2 ; Henderson, 3 ; Tidy, 1 ; Russell, 0 ; extras, s;— total, 70. J. Leith batted well for the Excelsiors, as also did T. and F. Home for the Waverleys. , A cricket match was played last Saturday, in the paddock of George Calder, Esq., North* East Valley, between Marshall and Copeland's C.C. and the Opoho C.C, which resulted in the former winning with 57 runs to spare. The scores were—Marshall and Copeland, 52 and 70; Opoho, 34 and 3L For Marshall and Copeland, Church (left-arm medium-pace bowler) was very effective, as was Huddy, each bowler being credited with a like number of wickets. Greenfield bowled well for Opoho. The batting of either Club calls for but little comment, with the exception of Huddy for Marshall and Copeland, with 31 runs, and Harris, for Marshall and Oopeland, with 25, which were got principally by hard hitting, but careful play. ' . A cricket match was played on the Oval' on Saturday between, North and ScouUar's C.C. and the . Dunedin Boot Factory C.C, which resulted in a victory for the latter, they making 56 runs against their opponents' 15 and 38. The principal scorers for the Boot Factory were— Tyrrell, 24; Wilhnott, 11. And for North and ScouUar's— Howard, with 5 in the first innings ; Foster and White, with 7 each in the second innings. Tyrrell bowled well for the Bootmakers, taking 13 wickets for 19 runs. Mr Winter kindly gave his services as umpire throughout the match. A cricket match was played at Montecillo, on Saturday, between the Head-quarters Band and the City Guards Band. The following were the scores :— City Guards Band : Stratton, 2 ; Baker, 4 ; Gill, 5 j Krull, 8; Davidson, 4; Wells, 10; George, 2; Bailey, 0; Hesford, 6 ; Chapman, 14 ; Williams, 3 ; extras, s;—total,5 ;— total, 63.
