NEW SOUTH WALES TEACHERS V WANGANUI.

The teachers from New South Wales, w«o are making a holiday tour through the Domiuion, arrived inrWa.ngan.ui last Saturday. On Sunday they made a trip up the river, and were all very enthusiastic over the scenery. Yesterday the Jfiachors played a cricket match, against Wanganui on Cook's Gardens. Throughout the day a number of spectators witnessed an interesting game between the two trains. Wanganui won the toss and were the first to bat. The bowling of the visitors was a little deadly diu> ing the first innings, and the homo team were vanquished aftsu- making 44 runs. Then the Teachers took their stand at tho wickets, and exhibited some good batting, considering the state of tins wicket, which ig much softer than these on the Australian cricket grounds. Play teased at 12.30 o'clock for lunch, and resumed at 2 o'clock, when the visitors finished their first inningy with 205 runs. .Wanganui played-a^ much better game in their second innings, and were able to tackle tho bowling with confidence-. Broad did excellent work, his wicket falling after' he had scored 37 ruins; Mouli also gave a fine display of batting, av,d succeeded in making several boundaries. O'Neill did1 good work for the Teachers with his swift bowling, but a very easy throw. Most of the bowling was done by O'Neill and Smith. The fielding of the visitors was very keen, a number of boundaries being saved by the smartness of the fielders, who Avere evidently on tho lalert for every ball. The home team fielded very well, but at times their work was slightly faulty. The haze caused by tho surrounding bush fires interfered with the light, but on tho whole the day was very fine.
