MID-WEEK CRICKET.

UNION ONCE MORE, AN'D TIIK F. AND 'I'. I'KKTOHMAXCK. Prestige of Wednesday cricket i< certaiuly not cm the wane nml, yesterday afternoon, tliu-i' who were at the H:\sin l'lvjtrvc got plenty to look tit. It wa.s the beginning of the second round of matches, and sonic of tlic batsmen were oviduiitl.v in capital form. 'Unexpectedly large was the ioial which the I'ost and Telegraph men banged up against Kivals-two centuries and a half. Towards this JSowlos, who figured in a recent representative Shield match, got 7!) by strokes all round the wicket, and was going briskly on for Ihe century when M'Evedy picked him up oIV lleorge. Bowles's i-lfort had good backing from Tvrell, iMimmer. and Greig who all scored well. With an hour to go Jiivals captain sent in Dr. M'Kvwly and Dr. Anderson, who defied u number of changes of bowling and were still- unbeaten when stumps were drawn. A heavy proposition was faced by Oriental when they encountered Union. The latter are now undoubtedly as strong as most of the senior Saturday elevens. They got rid c.f Oriental for 116, but how long it will require to get rid of them is a ■natter which is still in the lap of the Bates. Two are out for 183, but M'Gill is not done with yet, and lie is approaching three figures. Artillery v. Vivian was more of a bowlers' match and the former seem to have a sure win in hand. Double figure scores by Vivian batsmen were few, and in their second innings, that accurate Artillery bowler—Bailey—effected a successful "hat trick." RIVALS AND V. AND T.
