CRICKET.

Carterton v. Featherston.

Easy Win for Cnrterton.

(By Our Special Reporter)

Tho above match was continued at Greytown, on Saturday. Booth (25) nnd Ronall (6), the not out men, continued Carterton's' innings. Both men woro disposed of (caught) without adding to their scores. Ogior (21) and Bunny (12 not out) wcro tho only others to make any sort of a stand, and the innings closed for 178. Frith bowled well and captured four of tho remaining six wickets bringing his total number ot wickets for tho match up to 8. Tho », fiolding of tho Featherston team was ■t?" venurood. »fc.lll to win Fcatherston went to tho wßjtcts and tho number looked quite possible for them to get. However, so uncertain is tho gamo of cricket that Feathorston failed. Tho first wicket fell for 13 and tho others rapidly followed Without any material addition to tho , score, Cobcroft and Madsen being the f only ones, able to do anything with tho ! bowling of Cargill. Tho former mado 13 beforo ho ,was bowled, and the latter, who played a rattling good innings, remained unbeaten with twenty-two to his credit. Cundy, tho last man, stayed long enough at tho wickets to allow twelve to bo put on to tho scoro beforo was caught by Harold Bcechoy. _■ Perhaps if Madsen'could have got somo one to stay with him, tho gamo would havo boon closer. Tho loft-handor hit out in all* directions and his batting was quite a featuro of the afternoon's play. Ho played the bowling with confidence and mado some vory clean hits, notably ono for four towards the close of Fcathcrston's innings. Cargill bowled splendidly and was right on the wicket, as his average (8 wickets for fifteen runs) shows. Bartlctt secured tho other wicket at a cost of thirty runs. Featherston played with ton men in innings, Bennett, who is laid up teßfjnflammation,being tho absentee. CarSTon won by sixty-fiyo ruus. The following aro tho scores: —
