UNIVERSITY AND HUTT.

"With throe wickets down for 113 and only 182-to beat.Hutt were in a good position when they commenced play against University on the Hutt Recreation Ground on Saturday. But wickets fell cheaply and Hutt had to fight hard to win by 26 inns on the first innings. University hit up 162 for the loss of four wickets in their second innings. ;Kqss (66) and Warnes (0) opened the batting' for Hutt, and Ross went out early, having reached only 71. Phillips and Aldersley .were both caught by Blandford for only sniall scores, and the sixth wicket (Aldersley's) was down for 155. Warnes and M'Kenzie were now associated, and these two virtually saved the side. The pair carried the score' safely past the 182-mark, and at 190 Warnes was caught by Aim for 33, M'Kenzie following him to the pavilion at 195, clean bowled by Harrison for 18. Both men had given chances by catches, and both had been dropped by M'Leod,, Warnes at 12 and M'Kenzie at 0. Beard hit a useful 10 and Hutt were all out at 4 p.m. for 208. Apart from the bad luck of M'Leod, the University fielding was excellent. Aim and Harrison bowled all the afternoon, and met with ,nb little success. Harrison took- six for 68 and' Aim three for 82^ r .; University's second innings produced 162 for only four wickets. It began very slowly nh'd Bailey, one of the first batsmen, was almost an .hour at the crease to score 2. The third wicket fell for 27, and then I'aetz and Arndt got together, and carried the .score on to 147 for the next wicket, l'aetz made a bright 71, and Arndt (not out) hit up 62 in good style.
