A very Door start was made, five wickets being down for 18 runs. A timely stand by Olsen and Sim stopped the rot, and took the score from 32 to 89. Olsen scored freely, and put on half-a-century, while Sim was making 2. McLisky later lent Olsen valuable assistance, hitting up 25 (liucldy, including five boundary strokes. The innings eventually closed for 142, of which Olsen scored, no less than 82, not out, by fine cricket. J. 11. Jones bowled remarkably well for Kia Kaha, sending down nineteen over for 22 runs, and securing six wickets. Grant secured two for 12 off fotw over, and mightwith advantage have been kept on longer. The Kia Kaha employed seven bowlers, the majority oft whom were freely punished. With an hour to bat, the Kia Kaha men went at the bowling resolutely, and at drawing of stumps had hit up 118 for the loss of four wickets. Ralph Grant played a particularly fine innings for 81, included in which were j thirteen boundaries. Greene, with 20, was the next highest scorer. The Alhambra bowlers were treated with scant courtesy, McLisky, with three for 54, coming out with the best figures. The following are the scores:— ALHAMBRA. J.
