Cricket.

The Mangatainoka and Woodville School cricket teams met at Woodville on Saturday. Jones captained the Woodville team and Grut the Mangatainoka. Jones won the toss, and put the visitors in. At the conclusion of tiie innings the teams adjourned to discuss an excellent lunch provided by the local team. The fielding of the local team was almost faultless, the long stop, Robinson, being particularly noticeable for his clean picking up and smart return. With the exception of Jone s the bowling was weak. The bowling and batting of the visitors was good, but the fielding were weak. Barrell, however, made two very smart catches at point. Wilson i and Whangaroa bowled very steadily and Hyde showed signs of becoming a good bowler. Mr Wilson and Mr D. McKenzie officiated as umpires. Following are the scores :
