As a result of the conclusion of the matches on Saturday High School retained their position at the head of the competition with 16 points, followed by Wanderers 14, Colts 9, and City 1. There was very little play in the match at the Square though it was surprising that the captains did not agree to continue as in the School game where High School were able to force a four-pointer. Wilson, the Colts captain, played one of his typical innings for 28, but he did not receive much support from his teaM males; Edi .Chard rattled up 12 in two fours and a three. Woolley was stumped for 5 when going for a big hit. L. McKinnon, the Wanderers slow bowler, collected four victims for 33 having two., of them stumped. . N~, McKinnon two for; 21 and Crawshaw was again on the spot in securing one for 13 oifr 8 overs for 3 maidens.

High School with their strong batting side i .Titled up the good score of 110 for six wickets and declared. Broderson gave a fine forcing innings for 48 which included four fours and a six. Muller gave him useful support and contributed a soundly compiled 35. Hughes turned out to be the most accurate of the City attack, his two wickets costing 27 runs. Litchwark's opening overs were not expensive but he later got hit around and finally ended up with two for 41.

In City's second strike Litchwark played a steady knock for 48. He provided some fine shots on the off and secured mahy runs off a pretty late cut. Hughes was brilliantly caught by Boyce when he had reached 10.

Boyce bowling for High School relumed splendid figures which lead 2 overs, no maidens, four wickets, 2 runs. Ross also came to light with a useful bowling effort in capturing three for 28. The rep. game at Fencourt during the week-end saw some low scoring and the highest local scorer was Wilson with 18. Watt secured the fine bowling figures of five for 11 in the first innings, while in the second innings Broderson took a similar bag at a cost of 18 runs.
