In the game Riecarton against Linwood, the first named, despite the absence of three of their team in Auckland, had no difficulty in passing Linwood’s score of 180, the total reaching 339. Rix made the top score, 64 (not out), A. Norman 03, and Whitta 41. Riecarton won on .the first innings by 159 runs. St. Albans scored a three-point victory against West Christchurch. The last named, in a minority of 47 on the first innings, declared the second closed for 158 for eight wickets. St. Albans hit np the required runs for the loss of five wickets.

East Christchurch was in a hopeless position against Sydenham, having only made 52 in the first innings and 20 for three in the second against Sydenham’s 278. East’s second innings closed for 37, Sydenham winning by an innings and 189 runs.

The heat was so intense to-day that quite a number of people fainted in the streets, but it’s no use feinting sleep in the mornings if you possess one of Orieve’s Reliable Alarm Clocks, 5s 6d, 8s fid, 12s 6d, all guaranteed.*
