G&.EI3BROOX A v. Cakisbrook B. The return match between these two teams commenced on Saturday. The A te»in wont first to the wickets, Liggins and Morice- facing the bowliug of Harraway and Howden. With the score at 16 Harraway bowled Morice, and Rattray filled the vacancy. Both batsmen shaped confidently, scoring freely all round the wicket, but the deliveries of Howden at timea i appeared to puzzle Liggins. When the total I stood at 80. Liggios was well caught iv the ; slips off Harkness, who had replaced i Howden two overs before. Borton was the incomer, bnt the score had only been raised to 89 before a misunderstanding between him and Rsttray resulted in the. latter being run out. The remainder of the team offered tc very feeble resistance to the bowling, niae wiokets baing down for 115. The last week added 21 runs to this total, chiefly through the hnrd hitting of Hope, the innings closing for 136. Harkuesa secured the good average of four for 32, and Howden's anal^siu I of four for 62 was a very good perfonnano3. On the B team going in to bat, six wickets foil for 31 runs, of which number Wjioks claimed I 19. Towards the close of the innings Harkneea scored freely, and the partnership between him and G. Harraway for the ninth wicket materially helped the total. The inninga closed for 71. Hope was in great form with the ball and secured seven wickets for 22 runs, the remainder falling to Fisher. Having half au hour to play, the A team opened their second

venture, and at the c»ir of timo had loßt two I wickets for 41, Morice rattling up 21 in a very abort time. Scores :—: — Carisdrook A.— First Itmiug3. j Liggins, cG.
