H, Cave made serviceable stands, aud the respectable total of 155 was reached before the last wicket fell. Howard secured fiye wickets for 23 runs*, and bowled a great proportion of maidens. Kemp and Jimmerson also did well. Patea started well and put on 72 for the first wicket, and passed Wanganii's score l-sfore the third wick«t fell Izard ftnd Emmerson were chiefly respon siblo for the score, the former's 93 being the result of hard hitting, although marred by several chances. The wicket was matting, rather bumpy, and the grass in the outfield was long, making it quite impossible to get the value for drives or cuts. Hewlett came out with the bast bowling avniage, capturing five wickets for 17 runs. W. B. Cave (3 for 38) also did well. The following are the scores : Wanoanut — Ist Innings. [A. N.
