' - Last Saturday tho mat«he». whioh were commenced a fortnight previously were • ' concluded. Tho chief of the results was the downfall of East A in their match with Central./ The, brightest of tho city v matches was .the North-South contest, in which'the North moil- (Wilkinson chiefly) went.'in. for . tig hitting. 'Ow..amite_oi Wilkinson's ejeoted the ball from the Basin Reserve into Kent Temce.airtn^^^ '-'as far- as'Nimgio's shop. He (ilso.;hit another ball on to the roofof the pavilion. Tho only close finish in town.was in tho Victoria' College-East B >afoh. 'At one : stage of the North-South match, Soutlnll - (North) had a record of six wickets for ii runs. Ho was working a big break both ways.

The East A Cillapse. East A went down badly'before Central. . On tho opening day of tho match Central batted and. made 242, and. when, stumps •were drawn that evening East A had lost three'.ylokets'for ! 51 runs. .'Midlane'(with 30 to.'; his: credit) "and Gibbes (who. had' 'not scored) continued inningsi'-Jiiit both' were, quickly, disposed of. Il Girr i did his best .to stop the'procession to'tho - pavilion, and ho pat in ft 'somewhat long stay, at the crease.', Ho batted'well, but ■ /■ ■his innings'realised only 21 rrtnsHß small number when tha side needed Tuns so .'i.
