This representative match was played on the Collegiate Ground (kindly lent by Mr Empaon) yeFterday. It was a matter of regret to notice that the public generally took no interest in the game, tbere being a very few present boyond the College boy 3 end their masters. The pitch was in splendid order, and the local team, having won the toss, the captain elected to bat first, and sent A. N. Cave and Shields to the wickets to face the bowling of Strachan and Smith. The opening play Bbowed both batsmen on the defensive, and the score gradually mounted to 30 without any casualty, so a chance of bowling was tried, Cohen and Lance taking charge of the ball. When the score was at 3? Cave was given out 1.b.w., Smith's left-hand bowling evidently taking him unawares. This irade the score 3? for one wicket. Shields was joined by Marshall, and tho two scored gradually, tho former playing a very careful game, never forcing the score, Marshall also showed good cricket, so that the bowling was changed and entrusted to Barlow and Eichards. Runs came slowly but surely, and the telegraph . board showed 70 before a separation took place, Marshall then being canght in the Blips by Cohen, after making a score of 22. This separation changed the aspect of the game somewhat, for Hewitt joining Shields, the latter was shortly afterwards caught by Tompkins off Cohens bowling. Shields had compiled 27 by steady play.and.atthefall of hi?, the third wicket, the total was 70. D'Arcy the next man, opened with a 3 and a 2, bnt, after additg another 5 to his score, was neatly bowled by Strachan. 83-4-10. Hewitt was joined ty McLean, and the play went on quietly for a little, when Hewitt was caught by Beade. 85-5-5. McLean was joined byW.B.Cave, but played the ball on to his wicket. Six wickets down for 89, and Schmoll tried his hand, continuing the score with Cave till the call of lunch. After lunch Schmoll added four to his score, but was bowled by the ball of an over, after having snored 13. 106-7-18. WB. Cave was joined by his brother Kenneth, who however, was bowled by Richards, after scoring 2. 110-8-2. H. B. Cave then went in, and the two brothers played a steady but not quick-scoring game. W. B. Cave hit Barlow to leg, buLwas caupht by Fanthorpo, having _M^yo. 126—9—10. Eyan was last IMI and, having added one to the r^WwBB bowlod by Smith. Thus the inmng's of the local team closed for 130, H. B Cave being not out with a score of 16. The Manawatu innings was opened, by -Seade and Stracban to the bowling of W. B, Cave and Hewitt, both batsmen showing wariness for the first two overs, which were maidens, Beade being given out l.b.w. 0-1-0. Strachan was joined by Wilson, who soon interested the onlookers with some splendid play, but Strachan, with five to his credit, was neatly bowled by W. B. Cave. 11-2- 5. Richards joined Wilson, and the game began to got lively, both men settling down to work in a business-like manner and punishing the bowling, so that a change was made, H. B. Cave and Ryan trying their hands. The result was no better, so McLean and A. N. Cave (underhand) were pnt on when the 6core reached : 50. Wilson played a pretty innings, and was well seconded by Kichards, who seemed impregnable, but tho former, with 81 to his oredit, was bowled by A. N. Cave. 74—3—31. Kiohards, who was joined by Smith, continued to ecore, but the latter was bowlod by McLean without having scored, and Lance, who took his place, was unfortunate enough to be run ont without scoring. 81—5-0. Cohen was next man in, but with only three to hlB credit, was caught by McLean. Tomkins joined Richards, but was caught by Marshall off a ball from -McLean. 84—7-0. Barlow camenoxr, 7 and the way he settled down to woik Beamed as though he meant it, but after scoring six, including a three, he was stumped by Scbmoli; who throughout tl c afternoon did some splendid wicket k«epine 103-8-6. At the fall of the eighth wicket the rain, which had been falling for some time, came on vury heavily and made tDe g routld h «> ftT y» ao that a consultation took place between the captain* of the teams as tD the advisability of declaring a draw. Tho umpires were appealed to to give their decision, but they were of opinion that the teams should decide. After some time bad been wasted it was decided to continue the game, and Bou B field joined Richards, who had continued adding to his score by very pretty play. Bousfield made three, and was bowled by A. N. Cave, the score being 115-9-3. Fanthorpe. the last man in, did not add to tha score, but showed promise of iv stonewaller, Richards, notwithstanding the cation of the ground, managed to add .hv -wt.hnr to his score, but was at last -iPrad by a splended bill from McLean, the inningß closing for 119. Richards was deservedly cheered on his way to the pavillion, having made the tidy score of 6(5 The fielding on both sides was fairly good, but the Wanganuiteß were badly off for bowlers. On the whole the day's match showed good cricket, our local men exhibiting marked improvement at the wickets. Wanganui. A. N, Cave, l.b.w. Smith ... ...11 F G. Shields, c. Tonkins b.
