CRICKET.

Lwt Saturday's cricket matches proved onußUtlly close and interesting. The senior fixture wan the first of the second round, -w-hen Thames and Tararu met once again, the latter goinjt under, as they hate done in every match «o far, but nevertheless making a good stand. Going to the wickets first the suburban team were all disposed of by Aitken and Newman for 27 luno, Hunter (12) being the chief coutriImtor. Thames went to the wickets with ilittht heart, but Peel and Bachan were disposed of by A. Brown and Newton remectivelv before a single run was made, and with the score at 4 Clark was well caught by Lamb. None of the players ■lade many, Wiggins (9) and Newman (7) being top scorers, and the innings closed for 34. • • . ... ,The junior match was provocative ot a protest, which was considered by the Association at its meeting last night, and the natch was in consequence of the nonregistration of A. Ladner awarded to tTararu 11. Only 5 runs separated the two (teams, at the finish, the totals being—Rover 11.34 Tararu 11. 29. So much dissatisfaction was expressed on Saturday at the evident partisanship of Mr Ross, the Rover xmpirt, that the committee of tbe lararu CluVbrought the ma ter before tbe Association yeaterday, and a resolution was aoanimously carried prohibiting any memfer of a club umpiring for a team from his own club.
