CITY CRICKET.

■ « _ ROUND CONCLUDED. POOR WEATHER FOR SUMMER GAME, NOTES AND SOOEES. FAST BATTING BY BLACKLOCK. Two-Point Win for North. North's two-point victory over Pctone was secured with some .ease. Although the day was bad, Blacklock rose to tho occasion and gave a-fino performance' for 71. Hβ gave two very hard chances, but otherwise played splendid cricket. Crombie was tho only other man on North's Bide to Teach double figures. When Petone went in to bat Sxrathall "tied them up," and wickets fell rapidly— 60 frequently, in fact, that at 6 o'clock it looked very liko a three-point win for tho Northerners. However, Brice, who had been in nearly all the time, and Cato, played out time, and Petone had a wicket to spare at the end. M'Kenzie bowled well for Petone, while Bray (with Southall) did a lot of damage for North; The fielding of both sides was.excellent, some very fine catches witnessed. Owing to a misunderstanding as to whether the match would be played or not, proceedings did not start till about three-quarters of an hour late. East Match Broken Off. The fixture between East A and' Vast B, which was commenced on Saturday, November 23, and was to have been concluded last Saturday,' was not resumed on account of the weather having affected the College ground. Four Frigid Hours. • ■ • . A handful of enthusiasts epent four cold hours waiting for the end of the- South v. Hutt match. At no stage was the game interesting, the only qnesnon at issue being how much South would win by. When tho South team went in on the opening Saturday they compiled the respectable total of 329, which gave the Hutt some-' thing to live up, to. When play was resumed on Saturday the suburban team , set about reducing this lead, but their first innings only yielded 109. Being sent in- to bat again, they put up an even. worse performance, being dismissed for 62. This left South the victors with an innings and 158 runs in. hand. The losers batted one short,in both innings, Rodgere being an absentee. Modest Score—Not Overhauled.'. Modest as was Central's total in the first innings—l7B runs—it was a loftier height than the College batsmen could soar to. With their failure to do so the match was virtually over. College began the day, too, with 86 runs on for no wickets, and then they were all out for 95. The two nofc-outs were very soon, dispatched on.Saturday and the rest of the innings was a v procession—without fireworks Central had to make juet a few more to put a loss out of the question and to leave a chance open for a win outright. They made 32 for two wickets, of which hard-hitting Robinson smacked up 22. Then College had to bat out time or bat to score the number required. The latter alternative was really impossible, but the Collegians set out to hit as if to force a win. The hitting was really very good, but it cost wickets, and a little longer time would have enabled Central to score a three-pointer. College had lost seven wickets for 52 runs when, stumps were drawa. SOUTH 4 HUTT. South, first innings «. 329 Hutt—First Innings. Patton, 21111202412212111, b.
