CARLTON A v. CARLTON B,^| The Wairarapa Cricket Association opened the season on Saturday. On the Park Oval No. 1 wicket Carlton A and B teams met. Carlton A won the toss and went in to bat. O'Leary and Waters were the first batsmen. At 17 Waters was caught off Aymes, and at 19 O'Leary was disposed of. Allen and carried the score to 54 before Isaacs was caught off Denby after compiling 21 in good style. T. Hoar and Allen hoisted 73 on the board before Denby bowled the latter, who had made 21 by good cricket. The next wicket fell at 75. Then Arthur Welch and Hoar became associated and carried the score to 101, at which total V. Williams bowled Hoar, who had made a vigorous 82. He gave two or three chances, but he made some nice strokes for his runs. The next two < wickets added seventeen runs to the score. The last pair were E. Welch """ and A. Hoar and both batsmen gave the field a lively time. They carried the score to 150 before A. Hoar ran himself out after making 19 by good cricket. E. Welch was not out with 15 to his credit. His score included some good hits. Denby and Aymes were the, best of the B bowlers. The former repeatedly had the batsmen "tied up." The B team (fifteen men) did not make much headway against the bowling of H.oar, O'Leary and Barlow, and were disposed of for 64. R. Welch made 15 by pretty cricket, while K. Welch ran up 14 by ' careful play. T. Hoar-took 10 wickets for 22—a very fine performance. The scores were as follow : CARLTON A.—First Innings.

The Masterton A and B teams commenced a senior championship match on the Park Oval on Saturday afternoon. The B team (fifteen men) but only made 60, of which total Crookenden was responsible for nearly half. He gave a capital exposition of batting, a number of his strokes beir.g very neat. The A team ran up the respectable total of 136. Parton gave an excellent display for 38. He placed the ball in fine style, while any loose * -stuff he punished severely. His timing of the ball and wrist work might well be copied by other batsmen. Bewley played pretty cricket for 27 not out, and appeared to have the bowling at his mercy. Prow hit vigorously for 21 before Galwey disposed of him by a clever catch off Baird. Crookenden did excellent work in the field for the B team, and saved a number of runs by his smart fielding. He brought off a splendid catch when he caught Redmond off Baird. The scores were as follow: — MASTERTON A.-First Innings.
