lean 36, and A. Melville 22. Fleming (six for 14), bowled very well for Dunedin, while Hamilton did best for the Albion. The match Dunedin No. 1 v.

Thomson (11) batted well. Fisher bowled splendidly for Roslyn, securing seven wickets. Roslyn started their innings badly, three wickets falling for seven runs.

Other four wickets fell for the addition of eight runs; but Wilkinson and Dobson took the score to 63 before the former was caught in the slips. The innings closed for 66 runs: Chaclwick bowled well for Opoho. taking five wickets for 28 ;■ while Watkins, at the wickets, was very smart. THIRD CLASS CHAMPIONSHIP. The match Grange No. 1 v.
