The absence of Thomas and Read with the- touring team Jelt Linwood lamentably weak. East, with a first innings load of 51, pat up tho good total of 235. Diteh(ield top-scored with a very solid 47. 110 showed exceptionally sound defence, whilst his scoring " shots —particularly drives—v.ero neatly and powerfully executed. Blank followed him closely with 45, made bv moro than usually corrcct play. J1 is scoring strokes were also good. Hussoll and Grant both bowled very well for Linwood, but tho fielding was loose. Hatting tlireo men short, Linwood were all out for 145, East thus winning bv 14-1 runs. Russell top-scored with 50, mado by very sound defence, nnd some capital scoring shots, whilst Orchard got 27 by bard, hitting, including a couple of fine sixes. Woods bowled very well for East, whilst Flood brought -off a couple of good catches in tho country. At Svdenham Park, West Christchurch fiad a first innings' load of 4. and on goins in a second tirno they found the bowling to their liking. This was only to be expcctcd. as Bennett, McTCwin, Watson, and Gray, wero all in Wellington. Foster was ont early, but then Worker and Young set up a partnership that added 137 before it was dissolved. Norman, tho next man, soon lost his wicket, but Maxwell and Worker added another 77, and then tho innings was closed with 234 for tlireo wickets. Worker got his second conturv of tho reason with a finely-played 104. Ho played tho soundest of cricket, whilst his scoring strokes all round tho wickct wero first class. Youne batted vorv well for his 61, whilst Maxwell confirmed the good impression formed of his play in tho first innings.

Sydenham, requiring 238 in a littlo over an hour and n-hnlf. had no chance of making the runs, but tlicy managed fo plav out time, and so deprive Wast Christehnrch of a three point win. J. Young played beautiful crickot for his 75, and it was apparent that his 238 against Jlawko's Bnv had brought him to <ho lop of his form. C. Young bowled very well for "West Cliristchurch, and his victims included his namesako on tho other side. CHAMPION SHIP POINTS. A'layed. Won. .Loot. Points.
