Tlie cricket, season commenced in Tokomnru Bay last- week-end. o'iving to the inability ot' arranging a- match against lluatoria, which is now expected to take place next- week-end. tho local club formed two teams and played a friendly game. The teams were the captain’s team and the vice-captain’s team, and the match ended in a win. for the latter -by only seven runs. Each team played one man short and as the gome, started in the afternoon only one innings- each was completed. A newcomer to the Bay, Father Sheeley, appears to be an asset, being, a very keen all-round player. Showing his ability with the hat, this member compiled 31 before he retired of his own accord, and took two wickets of the captain’s team for four runs. Another newcomer to local cricket is L-. Seymour, who is also looked upon, judging by his play during the day, to give a good account for himself. The players all round have improved- their game, and the expectations are for a good season. Tlie club has procured a now net for practising and the players are keen to make use of it. The scores of the match are as follows : VICE-CAPTAIN’S TEA AT J. Moody, b J. W. Aloody 15 W. James, b O.
