POVERTY BAY TEAM DEFEATED i BY SEVEN WICKETS.

(Special to Gisborne Times.) Napier, last night. The Poverty Bay orioketers concluded their match versus the combined Napier team this afternoon and were defeated by seven wickets. Yesterday Napier, batting first, put up 251,. seven of tbo team putting up good score?, Reaaey 50, Fenton 47 being the prinoipal. Poverty Bay replied with 116 (Sharp 32, Gibson 21), and had to follow od. To-day the side made a rnuoh better showing, not only saving ao iooings defoat, but al;o infusing some interest into the , finish. Gibson and She.ridan, the first I pair, made a capital stand* and wero not separated until the

board- Ihowed 56, when Sheridan succumbed, olean bowled by Fenton for 31. Sharp also again showed good form, getting in some excellent stroke?, especially on the leg side, and again came out with top eoore, with 37 to his credit. Gibson scored very slowly, with a stubborn defence,seeing the dismissal of four men before being caught off O’Brien for 29. Grant 15, Davis 19, Ferris 16, also batted wtH.; ■ ' ■ Napier lost in compiling the 39 required to win, the first two wiokets falling for foqr runs. TorkingtoD, Davis and Sheridan bowled well for the visitors.

To-morrow the team meet the United, 00 Thursday Hastings, and on Friday Scinde. *

The woather was somewhat broken, and play was stoppad for an hour te-day in consequence of a severe rain squall.

(Special'to Gisborne Times.)

Napier, )a*t night.

Io the imtch just finished Poverty Bay showed up bettor tba 1 was expected, and s wed the inning? defeat by a fine effort. To-day, Turkiugton bowled throughout Napier’s first inuiog*, and took five wicktt* for 99 runs. His bowling was much bet .er iha,u is was in Auckland, and , improved local players, Sharp w.-sthe hero of the matoh. He batted confidently and made some splendid outs. Robinson received a na3»y emaok on the bridge of the nose behind thß wickets, and had to be relieved. Gibson played with bis usual care, and made soma nice strokes. Sheridan proved very useful with the bat and ball, and fielded well. Napier bad five down for 62 on Monday, but a determined effort by tbe middle division carried the score to 251. The Gisborne players kept at it vory well, the only bad mistake being dropping Hawko first balh When tbe visitors batt;d they were not at home on the last wioket. The older bunds, however, kept the flag flying, and tbo score was fair, In tbe second vehturo things went much better, and most batsmen got double figures. H*avy rain to-day at luncheon time delayed ihe afjt3rnoon start an hour, and the wicket became difficult. Tho innings closed for 173 runs and Napier got the 39 required for the fist of three wicktt3. The innings .wa? concluded for 117. Sheridan took four wickets, Gibson two, Daviia two, and TorkiDgtbn one.
