JUNIOR CUP.

Opoho v. Anderson's Bay. The Opoho met the Bay at Opoho on Saturday. The Bay, going first to .the wickets, could do nothing against the bowling of Webb and Hendry. The former secured seven wickets for 8 runs, and Hendry one wicket for 6 runs. The Bay were all out for 14. The Opoho responded with 177, Hendry batting vigorously for 88 and Wabb playing good cricket for 41. The Bay have lost two for 28 in their second innings. CARIBBBOOK D V. BUHNSIDK. The Catisbrook D Team journeyed to Burnsid on Saturday and met the local players. The wicket was in the bowlers' favour, and Carisbrook going first to the wickets were dismissed for 33, Howden making 11 in taking style. Burnside fared no better, and only totalled 23. Carisbrook in their second innings have made 49 for the loss of four wickets, Cooke (18, not out) and Sale (14, not out) showing good form. The bowlers obtained splendid averages, G. Harraway and E. Smith, for the Burnside, and Austin (four for 8) and Neale(five for 12), for the Carisbrook, doing the trundling. It may be mentioned that in the last five innings played against the Carisbrook team Neale and Austin have dismissed their opponents for scores of 29, 27, 22, 24, and 23. Oceana v. Brewers. The match Oceana v. Brewers waß played at the North ground on Saturday, and resulted in a win for the former by an innings and 28 runs. The Oceana closed their innings with two wickets down for 61 (M'Farlane not out 17, Thomson not out 17, D. Smyth 13, Richardson 13), and the Brewers made 20 and 18. For .<the winners Richardson secured nine wickets for 5 runs, J. Smyth six for 17, and Butler three for 6. Albion v. Dunedin. The Junior Cup match Albion Second v. Dunedin Second was commenced at the Gale* donian ground on Saturday. The Dunedin captain having won the toss sent the Albion in to contend with the eccentricities of a secondrate turf wicket, on which the balls bumped and shot and hung in a very puzzling manner. Before the last Albion wicket was put down, however, the score stood at 74, of which Honeyman contributed 20 and Matthews 15, both batsmen playing the straight ones with care and dropping the loose ones over the chain. The first three or four Dunedin batsmen proceeded to hit out freely, till Hutchinson took charge of the leather, when, notwithstanding the greatest care on the part of the batsmen, he took six wickets for 8 runs, of which four wickets were taken with four consecutive balls. The Dunedin inniDgs closed for 50, Burt contributing 27. ,__
