MID=WEEK CRICKET.

ON PLUMB WICKETS. CI!EDITABLE ■ FORM SHOWN. Ou the simplest of wickets the third scries of mid-week mutchcs was begun yesterday, Some heavy scores were hoisted before die day was over, and patrons of the Basin Reserve got plenty to look at. I nion's line batsman, Warne, again caught the eye in the encounter with Kivals, but ho was lucky. Oil' M'Keiizie's first ball George snapped him up at the wickeK, but the deci>ion was in his favour, and lie. hatted on. .No such luck, however, fell lo Vare, of I he Kivals' team, who. was sent to the pavilion on a "ruiiO'lly although lie was undoubtedly in. I hi' l.b.w. decision which sent M'JCpuzie to (he right-about was also questioned. Among' t.lie other features of this match was a rather pleasing bit. of, batting by .1 ickering, who was still unbeaten at the close of the day. Ting match wears a decidedly interesting look, for Kivals only want 11 runs to overhaul the score •of the strong Union team, and thev have still a wicket to fall. lloiv A ivian were going to get Oriental cut, formed a problem at one stage of the day. Gonrlay opened the. batting of the latter with a very attractive and vigorous innings, and Wilkinson followed this up with a "wristr" display l)f batting, getting to within five of the century. Thonison and 'l'ruscott also took a lot of shifting, and the final tally was no fewer than 230 runs for nine wickets. Changes on the Vivian bowling were rung 'frequently, but the wicket gave, them no assistance, and they-now have to struggle with the formidable -score mentioned above. One of the features of Artillery's struggle with Post and Telegraph was the reappearance of the Rev. j-J. 0. Blamires, ■ who has apparently cast in his lot with the former team. It was a fairly long aiternoon's "leather hunt" for the military men, as the last I', and T. wicket was not down until (lie board showed 171. Wyatt, Carrad, and Sclater seemed to he the "star" performers with the willow. The following are the details:— I'M OX AND RIVALS. Union—First Innings. M'Gijl, c. Anderson, b.
