Crockett got past Gilbertson's defence, and eight runs hirer he got Woods leg lie fore. Woods the previous hull had driven one low hack to th*- howler, and there was some doubt as to whether or not it was a bump ball. The umpire gave the batsman the benefit, but next hall Woods went leg before. Kavanagh and Bannerman became- associated and looked like pulling on a score when Kavanagh was run out. and next over ■Whitaker was clean bowled Bannerman at this stage began to put on runs quickly, and after Taploy had been dismissed at 53. lie and Miles made a fine stand, putting on 40 runs. Bannerman played an excellent game till he readied 1”, and then he hit out and was twice lei off from big hits before being caught in the slips off a chop stroke. Miles and Driscoll cook the score to 10S, anil the remaining wickets fell quickly, Milos playing an invaluable not-out innings for 22.

Tobin; starter, Mr Tlios. Frisby; treasurer, .Mr D. Mcßae; secretary, Mr J. McKenzie. Tiie promoters of the Browns Athletic Society's annual sports fixture yesterday experienced unfavourable weather during the morning hours, which probably affected the attendance, but as mid-day approached, the sky cleared, and thereafter the programme was decided under enjoyable weather conditions, despite the prevalence of a cold breeze. In regard to running, wrestling, sawing, and the general competitions which go to promote the success of athletic gatherings, the meeting did not fail to fulfil its objects, and, as a result, there was exceptional competition, but at the same time there was a neglect of punctuality which was hardly satisfactory. The sport provided was keen, and the running and wrestling events in particular attracted satisfactory entries, while the presence of a large number of the fair sex and an overwhelming gathering of the vmtnp-pr wok not forCTOtton.

younger generation was not torgoiien, as the committee furnished many prize contests for their approval, knd invariably met with gratifying support. Prominent features in the order of the da:, wore piping and dancing items, and these, too. were responsible for the appearance of some of the crack performers registered under the banner of the Pipers’ and Dancers’ Association, and the applause wliicii greeted their efforts was a tribute to their recognised aims and efforts. * The following is the prize-list up to tlie train connecting time of our representative (5 p.m.):—Maiden Race (100yds).—£1, W.
