! „. ,j w jNyERpABGIUj.T. J 'TRlVBaT6ir;7 3 j ifl For the first .timerfor ten yearsj as, we are 'informed, thei Invercargill, cricketers have been defeated in aA match other, than that with' Dunedin- On Thursday.; the annual- match with Riverton; was j played on the lavercargill ground, and won by the visitors by- ,30 runs on ; the fir6t ginning?. The ,wicket was a "fair one, bbunt n slightly bumpy at the "east end. The Rivertonians had sent a strong ( team into the field, -and were also assisted by, Hayward and/Ria^ of the Aparima. Club. : The bowling}, of Eoss and John Wesney for Invercargill was specially good, and- the fielding-, of our local men 'very fair, except- in the cases ofKingswelhandGßorne.-who were all adriftr'missing.easy catches and letting the ball pass'' them in a very shady style. Reade batted splendidly ''Tor Riverton 1 , making the top.score'of 51, and'not out in his first-innings, -and.-30- injais seoonpV though- he, ought to, have ,been v caught ia the first innings by-'Kingswell at'lpngJeg when he had made ohly'e. 1 The' Bowling of Howell/ Hayward, and'Jieade ( for Riverton was first-rate. ' Kerr, kept, wicket for Invercargill in. fine, style, and John Wesney made .a splendid . catch off h!ia own bowling in disposing of the/ last man ofthe Rivertonians. ' Unfortunately both Buchanan and Kerr, two of the best ofthe Invercargill men, were disabled, :the,fir«b from being hit hard on; the kneei-when fielding, at point, and 7 the/ lat ter. from This finger being ripped open when keeping" wicket without .glove's. , CrosVmalfle'the.top score of 14 for' InvercargiU rapidly,; principally by very neat cuts off rather fast bowling.
