THE DISTRICT MATCHES. THIRD SERIES STARTED. Dull weather, with occasional light showers of drizzling rain, prevailed this afternoon for the first day's play in the third series of matches in (he Canterbury Cricket Association's competitions. After about two hours' play the rain caused a cessation of play for the day. WEST CHRISTCHURCH v. BOYS. HIGH SCHOOL. Playing at Hagley Park. Boys' High School made a good start against West Christchurch, D. W. Reese and Q. A. Wright putting on 59 for the first wicket. The second wicket fell at 85, and the third at HI. The score went up steadily, the wetness of the ball hampering the bowlers. About 4.30 p.m. the rain became steady, and after waiting for about three-quarters of an hour the captains of the teams decided to draw slumps Scores:— ROYS' HIGH SCHOOL. First Innings. i
