HAMILTON AND WAIPA. A DRAWN GAME. SOME FAST SCORING. The first representative match of the season was played on Saturday, when the Hamilton and Waipa sections of the Waikato Cricket Association met at Seddon Park. The wicket was in splendid order and the oulfield very fast. Winter, ihe Waipa captajn, won the toss from Taylor, and L. Shepherd and Oram opened to the bowling of Going and McLean. When 15 runs had been scored Pomeroy replaced Going, and bowled Shepherd with his first ball. In his second over the Hamilton man got Oram lbw. 26-2-15. Barnett and Tarr added 30 runs, and then Taylor came on, Barnett putting his first ball up in the slips, where Going took a smart catch. Smith put his leg in front of the first ball, he received, and four wickets were down for 56. Two Good Stands. Tarr and Winter now became associated in a long partnership which, despite frequent changes in the bowling, added 64 runs to the score before Tarr lifted Pomeroy into the safe hands of McLean in the longfleld. 116-5-33. A. J. Shepherd joined Winter, and the rate of scoring, which had been on the slow side, quickened. Both batting confidently and well, they added 75 runs before Winter was bowled by Going. 191-6-61. Shepherd continued to bat freecly, and when he had passed Winter’s score the latter applied the closure, with nine wickets down for 236. Hamilton Start Badly.

Pomeroy hit the next two balls lo the square-leg boundary, but the fifth ball of the over swung on lo his pads and then on to Hie wicket, iO-1-9. Forcing the Pace. Skcet was next and he and Ilawke scored very freely until lie failed (o get across to one from Tarr and Philp took a good catch behind the wicket. 52-2-26. Hampton scored five singles before providing Philp with bis second victim, and when lie left the board read 64-3-5. Sensational Over.

Badeley and Ilawkc now proceeded fo pile on the runs at a great rate, Badeley hitting four G’s, a 2, and a single in one over from Barnett. Scoring at the rate of three runs a minute, they look the score to 162 before Badeley was caught. Clough was next, and he immediately opened out, scoring 20 in quick time.
