CRICKET. (Bv “Short fcilip.”) The United and Te li.au teams met for the first time on Saturday. Cary won the toss from liallamore, and decided to bat. Olsen and Baxter went to the wickets first. Coop and Reynolds bowling. With the score at 10 Olsen, who was batting well, foolishly hit a slow full tosser from Coop back, and was c and b. Barnby came next. The bowling was very accurate, and the funding keen. With 18 on the board Baxter hit a ball from Reynolds pitched wide on the off—a foolish stroke —and .was caught by Gorman. Cary joined Barnby, .and the batting slowed down. Coop bowled several maidens in succession, and Reynolds was keeping a good length. With 41 on the board Cary hit a leg-ball on to his pads, and was given out l.b.w. Kaipar.a came and went with the score at 53. J. Wack assisted Barnby to bring the total to 67, when he was brilliantly caught by Hutcheson fielding .at extra mid-off for 0, off Hallamore. Five good wickets were down for a modest score when Pine joined Barnby, and the stand of the day was made. Both plavers were most careful, picking their halls to hit. Hallamore was the most expensive bowler, 37 runs being made off 36 balls. Coop was bowling admirably. At 127 Pine was beaten and bowled by Coop for a well-played 26. Monte then surprised the field by making a most stubborn resistance, and was not disposed of until 152 was reached, Coop catching him off Hutcheson, who was also bowling most accurately. Ellison iand O’Halloran did not stay long, and Barnby again made the mistake of funning out to a short-pitched ball, and was smartly stumped by Bowman. Barnby had played .a most excellent innings, showing great patience and some nice leg strokes. He was never in difficulties, and batting to instructions his 70 runs were worth 100 runs to his side. Coop bowled the best, closely followed by Hutcheson, whilst Reynolds at times bowled some fine balls, and was the only bowler to break with judgment. Hallamore did not get a length. Of the fieldsmen who were fielding from 2.20 to 6.10 p.m., Bowman was the best, hardly making a mistake, whilst Hutcheson, Gorman, Hallamore, and Gibson, amongst .a lot of hard-working players were the most brilliant.

United -started their first innings, but the game was stopped on a'n ap-. peal to the umpires by one of the batsmen because of alleged bad lightAs the game stands: Te Rau Ist- innings 164-—United no wickets - for 2: runs. Te Rau seem to have a good' chance of winning.
