MID-WEEK CRICKET

CAPITAL PLAY, MORE CENTURIES HOISTED. "Lofty ones" over the fence were flying t bit at (lie Basin Reserve yesterday, and capital scores were put on by at least two of the clubs. The 'growing list of Wilson's centuries was also augmented li.v ■Smith, of Artillery—his second hundred this year—Caterer, of. Vivian C.C., who amassed 12:), and had rather bad luck to be run out at the finish, though lie barely escaped an adverse l.b.w. decision when he was 93. Unexpectedly extensive was tho leatherlimit f.o which Artillery treated Union. The gunnel's "went for 1, the Union bowling right and le.lt, and Smith, as indicated, was the star. Bailey also smoto hard ami oiten for 53,, but should have, been caught in the "country," bc-foro ho had got neur that figure. Beautiful free cricket was shown by tho Rev. E. 0. Mlamires, who, though he went iu last, was 48 not out when his partner received his quietus. Union bowled no fewer than ten men, and, under tho circumstances, Victor Harris diu well to emerge with au average of six wickets for 54. The catching of his fieldsmen was not very brilliant. Artillery's total is tho second highest for the season, the previous best being their own 30!), which was made in the first match this year. Vivian also "sbggod some," as is by their total, and they seem to havetheir match with Post and Telegraph well ill hand. Besides Caterer's big score, Cording also showed attractive strokes in making hid G-t. Oriental are likely to beat Rivals, this result being very largely duo to tho firstclass trundling of Ryan and Gourlay, who bagged five wickets apiece at comparatively small cost. They seem to make an excellent pair, and each needs a lot of playing. Some of the Oriental batsmen also did well. UNION AND ARTILLERY. Artillery.—First Innings. Smith, 1.b.w., b.
