CRICKET.

On Tuesday the Asbburton tean played the first match of their tour ir. the Victoria Park, Temuka,, againai h fcho lecal team. Bryars won the tow ■ for Temuka, and decided to Bend hit W spponenls into the field, and himseli and Mendelson went out to do battle |P for their club. A good stand was made until 62 runs were entered on the scoring-sheet. Buchanan wa« then, put en to bowl, sand his first ball was too much for Bryars, and made a mean of his timber yard. Digoan then Dame in, and went to work at once. Mendelson, who had been playiDg steadily, was dismissed by Buchanan when the scere had reached 71. The players who followed put up about SO runti between them before the luncheon hour, Dignan then having 62 to his credit, not out. After lunch Dignan was bowled without any alteration being made in his score; he played igood. criekat, mot giving any chances, and when he did lift a ball it was well out of reach of th® fieldsmen. With Dignan's departure) th« end soon came, "the respectable total of 145 being left for the Ashburton men te face. Buchanan deserves groat credit fur his bowling, as without his aid there is no doubt the score would have been well over the second century. Andrews j and Chapman wero the first of the -yisitors to bat, but neither of them stayed long; A. and P. Dixon withstood the attack for some time, when Uru was j put on to bowl in place of Dignan, and iioon sent them back to the pavilion.! ."None of the team reached double Jlgures, the innings closing for 45 runs. After a short adjournment, during "wHo* tea was kindly provided by Mrs y. Bay hurst and some lady friends, the f visitors again went in to bat. Denshire, fliheir captain, soon put together 24, JMendelson was then put on te bowl mnderhand lobs, and placing his field well out he had the pleasure of seeing Dignan secure a mice catch from a lofty hit by Denshire off his first ball.
