CRICKET. • s' Thursday noxt (Prince of Wales' rtlulay) the time-honored fixture be- . •een the Gisborne and Te Arai Cricket übs will be adhered to, and the match ill be played, as in former years, on the ! Arai ground. Great interest has always en maintained in past seasons in this rticular match, and it is looked upon by c cricket enthusiasts as the most im- v utant match of the seanson. As the day a general public holiday, and play com- g enccs at 11 o'clock, both clubs are abled to put their full representative rength in the field and play the game ilit out. Tho game on Thursday next omises to be even more interesting than c contests of previous seasons. Both '' les have been strengthened considerably I the inclusion of new men, and, given opitious weather, an interesting struggle ould be witnessed by the spectators. Te f ai ground is in good order, and the im?diate surrounding country is a pcifect ral picture at present. We have been ied to state that Mr Chas. Evans and o ollioers of the Te Arai Club will heartily ;, 'lcome visitors to the ground on Thursy, and as Te Arai Polo Club will hold a notice game on the afternoon of the same y, there is certain to bo a large attendee of the general public on the club's :tureM|iic ground. We trust that the •al cluhs will be favored with fine iathcr for the match, and that the best ■veil may win. The following players II represent Te Arai : Messrs P. Allen, arke, A. Crawford, W. Gibson, H. C bson, T. Gibson, A. H. Hodge, Hoki, Leggett, Te Reinga, and W. \\ atsou.
