REPRESENTATIVE CRICKET RANGITIKEI DEFEATS FEILDING The annual representative cricket match between Rangitikei and Feilding was played on Saturday on the County Cricket Grounds, in dull and humid weather. The pitch was very poor, and a number of the players received nastyknocks. Feilding won the toss and had first use of the wicket. At lunch the score was none for 67. The first wicket fell at 69, when Carter was caught by Cameron soon after the commencement of the afternoon play. Dewe topped the score for Feilding, making a good 66, before being run out. Whitehead also made a useful 40. When Rangitikei went in to bat they needed 187 runs to win, and this they did with comparative ease. Rangitikei’s highest scorer was H. Marshall with 86, before being stumped. Rangitikei lost two wickets for 26 runs, but the next partnership carried the total to 130. The results are as follows: —• Feilding.

The - reservoir still holds many feet of j water, but the council needs the coA operation of householders in conservt ing the supply as much as possible. With this in view the council has prohibited the use of hosing, but several of the residents have failed to comply with this notice. Last week the borough foreman made an inspection and found several hoses in use. He will , submit these householders’ names to the next council meeting. Councillors 3 are taking a serious view of such circumstances, and should there be a res currence of the trouble prosecutions are liable to follow. “THE PRISONER OF ZENDA” j AT CIVIC THEATRE TO-DAY „ Al like beauty, colour and swashbuckling adventure of the famous AnI thony Hope romance will be screened finally to-night at the Civic Theatre.
