Saturday was by no means an ideil day for cricket, there ;being a. very heavy wind blowing, and oh-,the town giound a very thick pall of smoke from bush fires. The Post and Telegraphsv. Banks 'game was postponed till next Saturday to allow several prominent players to take.part.- Old Boys. B. forfeited their game to College, and those of the team who attended took part in the off game on. No^ 1 wicket, where a very weak Old. Boys: team was gitted against ft mixed city team. Old oj'B batting first troubled their opponents to the extent of 50 only, of which Dickson contributed 26 not out, by hard hitting, and Heaps 11. Smj'the 6* for 15 did all the damage, one wicket each going to Witten and Ryan.
