A close exciting game resulted in a win for Waingake by tlie small margin of two* inins. Waingako batted first, and tostalled 57, G. Coop being the only batsman to score double figures with a well- • made contribution of 18. Rattray was in fine form with the ball for Tarewa, and captured eight wickets at small cost. Tarewa responded with 55, Rattray (21) and Williams (not out 13) making a brave effort to get the runs. The bowling of Colthart, however, was too good for the remainder of the Tarewa men, and he bagged eight wickets cheaply. The visitors were most hosgitably entertained by the Waingake lub, and are especially grateful to the ladies, who dispensed afternoon tea, and (helped to make the match particularly enjoyable by doing, everything possible to make the visitors’ stay pleasant. The following are the scores: — Waingake- G. Coop, c R. Coop, b Rattray, 18; E.

PROPOSED AUSTRALIAN TOUR. WELLINGTON, Dec. 29. The Wellington Cricket Association has definitely "refused to participate in the pooling scheme under which the New Zealand Cricket Council has arranged for the tour of an Australian team through the Dominion. It is con. tended by the local association that Wellington is the best town as regards gate receipts in New Zealand, and that it is unfair its profits should go to make up deficits in other centres. During the last visit of the M.C.C. English team Wellington was the only centre in which any material profits were made, and though over £3OO clear was netted, the local association, owing to the participation . scheme under which the tour was carried out, lost considerably. If no compromise is effected it wili mean that the Australians will not • play in Wellington. MANAWATU v. NORTH TARANAKI NEW PLYMOUTH, Dec. 29. The representative circket match, Manawatu v.
