CRICKET MATCHES.

LAWRENCE V. SOUTHERN C.C. The return match between the above Clubs was played on the Oval, Dunedin, last Thursday. The weather was splendid, but the ground was rather dead from the recent heavy I. rains'.' Messrs W. C. Allnutt and F. Home captained (he respective teams. Home won the toss, and decided to send his men to the wickets. No great stand was, however, made, the innings closing for 59 runs — Prentice {14) and M'Laren (34) being the only players who got into double figures. M'Kenzie, who bowled exceedingly well, got 5 wickets fur 23 runs. Lawrence then went in, and before the last wicket fell had put together the large score of 100 runs — 41 ahead of the Southern. Roscow (29), Irvine (24), and Ferguson (13, not out) played very well for the local team, doing some hard hitting. Carroll did most of the trundling, getting 6 wickets for 22 runs. The Southern, on going to the wickets a second time, scored 75 runs. Johnson played well for 24 runs ; as did also T. Home (22) and Gordon (12). Lawrence, requiring 35 runs to win, went in for their second innings, and made the required number for the loss of 4 wickets — thereby winning the match by 6 wickets. Harris (13, not out), Irvine (11, not out), and Roscow (8) were the principal scorers. Messrs M'Keich and Sutherland acted as umpires. At the conclusion of the match, cheers were given for the respective teams, umpires, captains, and scorers, which were heartily joined in. The following are the scores :—: —

LAWRENCE V. CARISBROOK C.C. A match was played by the local team against the Carisbrook Cricket Club on the Carisbrook ground, Caversham, on Friday. The weather was all that could be desired, and a fair number of visitors turned out to witness the match. The Lawrence cricketers were again successful, coming off victorious by seven runs on the first innings. Messrs Roscow and Cargill acted as captains. The latter, winning the toss, sent his men in to bat. After some good play on the part of several players, the innings closed for the total of 123 runs. R. Austin (29), E. Austin (25), Mitchell (21, not out), and Kennedy (17) did some fine hitting, and did good service for their side. Murray, M'Kenzie, A. Rolfe, and Ellis bowled for Lawrence. Lawrence, with 123 run before them to make, then took their stand at the wickets, and gave the Carisbrook a good deal of leather-hunting, which the score of 130 will prove. Harris played a grand game for 46, cutting and driving splendidly; Murray (22), M'Kenzie (19), Roscow (13), and Potts (10) also played well. Hume, E. Austin, and Morrison did all the bowling for the Carisbrook team. The, Carisbrook went in for their second innings ; but time was called at six o'clock,' and the match had to be decided on the first innings. In their second innings, Carisbrook' scored 68 runs for the loss of six wickets. E. Rolfe and O. Potts bowled in this innings, the former bowling very well. The fieldingjon both sides was very good, the ground being like a bowl-ing-green. An adjournment to Parkside Hotel was made* at half-past one, where an excellent spread was prepared. Messrs M'Keich and Lawrence acted as umpires to the satisfaction of all. Appended are the scores :— '
