CRICKET.

«. CANTERBURY v. HAWKE'S BAY. The match was resumed this morning, in perfect! weather. There was only a small attendance when play started, 'but the mimbers increased later in the day. ! A matter which caused considerable discussion on 'the ground 1 was the umpiring diiring the day. There seems no doiibt that Sims was the victim of a bad decision. Not only spectators who were in a perfect line, bub members of the Hawke's Bay team as well, were agreed that the Canterbury batsman was unfortunate in being declared 1 out. It was hard luck for Sims, who was batting splendidly at the time. Sims (39), the not out man- last night, was accompanied' to the wickets by R. W. Barry, senr. Dent finished the over started the previous day, Barry getting him to leg for 3, andi in Dent's next over he got him away lor a similar number. Soon after he snicked Tfrotb -through the slips for a couple. Barry was playing very freely at thie time, and added: 14 runs white Sims was making 3. Sims then livened up, and larte cut Trott to the .boundaay. In Trott's next over he sent 100 up 'by driving him for three, his own contribution at the same time reaching 50. A succession orf singles followed, till Trotfc 'beat Barry with a fast one. The outgoing batsman was at the wickets half an hour, and played a sound innings — 108 — 4 — 15. Wigley joined Sims, and after a further succession of singles, Wigley drove Dent twice to the off -boundary, and cut Trott nicely for 3. Wigley then gave a possible chance in the slips off Trott. In Dent's next over he gained a round of applause for a nice late cut for 3, and followed this by driving Trott for a like amount. Sims broke a long string of singles by cutting Dent to the boundary. Off Trott's next over Wigley snicked one to Hill behind tftie wickets, and retired after a vigorous inndngs — 142 — 6 — 19. Callaway filled the vacancy in time to see Sims pass Trotf s contribution in Hawke's Bay's first innings by getting the professional to leg for a couple. In Dent's next over he sent 150 up with a drive for a couple off Dent. Callaway cut Trott for 4. The separation soon) came, however, Callaway putting one of Trott's softly into Dent'shands — 159 — 6 — lo. Garrard joined Sims, but after playing one- ball was clean-bowled with the next — 159 — 7 — o. Lawrence was the newcomer, but soon after his arrival a misunderstanding between the batsmen resulted in Sims being run out after a perfect innings— -166— 8— 72. Bdxshall joined Lawrence. Lawrence started with a couple to leg, and drove Trott for 4. Boxshall drove Dent twice for - a couple, but was clean-bowled with a fast one next ball— l77— 9— s.

Lawrence hit Trott to square-leg for 3, and Bennetts sndcked him for a couple. Lawrence drove Dent for a couple, and sent 200 up by driving Trott to the boundary, hitting his next to the jquare-leg boundary. Lawrence gave a hard chance to Dent, which was declined, but in Dent's next over he was nicely taken by B. Cotterill, after a. merry innings, the innings closing for 207. Trott and Dent •bowled unchanged this morning. Trott, wbp had 41 runs knocked off him yesterday without a/Wicket, wound up with good figures, though Dent, aided by the good start he made in the innings, finishpd up with the better average. The fielding of the Hawke's Bay team was anything but clean. At half-past twelve Cato and Hawke startedl t!h© Hawke's Bay second innings, tihe visitors requiring 149 runs to win. Callftway opened: tihe bowling, with Bennetts «rt> the other end. Cato late cut Bennetts ■for 4 ? andi square-leg hit. him for 3.
