STATISTICS OF THE SEASON.

Perhaps in no season in the history o: ihe gam© in Canterbury has thero* been so many interesting finishes. Linwood played a tio Difcuch with East on tho first innings, but at ihe finish were very hard pressed and just avoided defeat. Sydenham B wera defeated pint on time, and Sydenham A ditto. Kiccarum were defeated by only «ev<m runs, nnd then in the final match Sydenham mads 40 runs for the last wicket ftncl won the final. East Christchurch, after havmg a commanding lead aguinsi tho Sahita, collapsed on the u&cond day, mid tho Saints scored 200 runs in ooia and a half hours and, with tho last two men in, won en the call of time. Kiccarton beat V.'eat by 7 runs after the lust two batorncii hud added 70 runs, and then in tho rot urn match tho won by 10 ni»», al'tei- another exciting rs.co against tho clock. A vigorous 08 by .Bwrett and Lamb, tha last two ba.nmon, enabled St Albwis to w'.u by 20 run* ftgainst Iticcarton : and tho Saints also hed & CiOSft call against Went Cliriatehurch in order to olvira a throe-point win. The gamo between the two Sydenham teams waft ;i fierce one. Tha B team seemed to be winning easily, but Wooda and Bennett cumo to tho rNicuo and the match was won by tho A team by 3 runs only. In the history of SenioT cricket in Canterbury, on y two players hevo played eighteen innings iu any ono season, and now in niH--15 we find Perrin, of Linwood, Smith. Given and M'Gregor, of Kaiapoi, all playing eighteen innings apiece, notwith'tandingr the feet that the season was practically closed a fortnight ear'y to enable the cricket match in aid of the Belgian Fund to bo played.
