CRICKET

THE WEDNESDAY FORTUNES. CENTURY BT WABNE. . Like tho dukes and lords in one of W. S. Gilbert's lyrics in "The Gondoliers," centuries aro now becoming "three-a-peuny," for hardly a wcek'pasies without spmo batsman laying hands on tho coveted hononr. ■ Yesterday, iu tho midweek matches, tho latest centurion turned up in that very solid cricketer, Wurne, ol the Union team. Oh the previous Wednesday ho had turned'7o and, when the slight showvrs of tho week took tho ordinary "dash"" out of Saunders's' plumb wickets, tho chances were good that ho would travel past tho hundred without mishap. E[o did, and ho got a wcll-de-serveu olap as he returned to tho pavilion. Rivals downed Oriental, winning by 81 runs. In tho earlier stages of tho day it rather seemed that tho latter would win, for their Irundlors bowled down fivo or sis Rivals very cheaply, but George's vigorous driving altered the complexion of things, and left. the. issuo open. Gourlay pioneered Oriental's second innings, and batted prettily and vigorously for IS, Wi'.kinsnp proving an efficient partner. Gourlay had the misfortune (o be given out l.Lw. Then a "rot" set in. Tho remainder of the Oriental batsmen had to faco tho music in a dull, shifty, and nncertain ligit, and tho end came soon. An easy triumph Ml to Vivian who beat the Fo?t and Telegraph representatives by 170 runs. Having a lead on tho first innings of 67, they "declared" in the second when four wickets were down for a rota! of 123. At this stage P. and T. found themselves left with only fivo men to play out timd, and theso were mowed down for the small total of 20. i Tho star match, as far as scoring wont, wvis tho meeting of Artillery and Union, t.bo strong Union eleven winning by an iDarings and 26 runs. This result was lately duo to tho fine performance by Wijrne. Bombardier Smith, who opened for. Artillery, played a great innings for 52 out)._ The result of yesterday's play- leaves Union with a four-point lead tor itho championship. Details aro as follov RIVALS AND ORIENTAL.
