Unfortunately through a mieaprehension as to the time of starting of the train from the South last evening only eieht of the Ifanawatu team were able to come through, hence the visitors were without the services of some of their best men. They felt severely the lots of Gooko and Byre, of Palmoreton, Wilson, of Matton, and Biohards, of IVilding, the most prominent of the Manawatu reps. H 0 Stewart was elected skipper of the visiting team (who availed themselves of the sarvicos of A N Cave, Cresswell, S Parkos) and J Emmerson to a like capacity for the home cloven, who won tbo bosb from ; Stewart. McLean and Marshall started batting to the bowling of Barlow and I Stewart, who were knocked about very freely by both batsmen, until Creiswell brought off a rnagniflesnfc catoh one handed in the long field, and retired Maribsll for 20. 31—1—20. Brock partnered McLean bat soon lost tho company of tbe latter, who was beaten by a full toss from Stewart. 40—2 — 14.

Xi Oave did no bettor, for Barlow beat him with a leg break. 43—6—0, and McLaren failed to stop a straight one from the same bowler. 44—7—0. Banks joined Emmerson and by steady play both batsmen oontinjied to defy the how'ing until 78 when Penny, who had relieved Barlow, captured Banks' wickge. The retiring batsman mado 22 by really good play at a most awkward stage of tbe game, 78—8—2. L Peake fell a viotim to a straight one frocn Ponny without scoring. 78—9-0. Tho lait man, W B Cave, played in good form and stayed while ffimmorson made his runa. A tingle off Barlow by W. B. Oave, caused the century to be posted amidst applause.
