MID-WEEK CRICKET.

UNION BEATEN. ,ENDID BOWLING. BY SMITH. r " OTHER MATCHES. DEV. E. 0. BLAMIRE3 SCORES 181. The fifth round of tho mid-week competitions was concluded- yesterday niterjiooii on (ho.'Basin Reserve. The wickets were in splendid condition, and some good scorcs were put lip. Naturally mucli interest centered on the match, Rivals v. Union, 'i'ho latter suffered its first defeat this season. In the first .innings liivals had a-, lend cf 33 .runs, and in their second innings they made 172, of" wliicli Dr. 'l'olhurst riiaclo G9 liefore Burns stumped him. Ho was very luckyto survive an ajjpeal (when just over 50)-for a catch Ireland the stumps of Haines otherwise 1 the innings I was a good one. Tlio only other batsman to make' anything of a score ivas lvinvig. Union, wanting 208 runs to win, and an hour and twenty minutes to play, apened with" M'Gill and O'Sullivan. The former was given the benefit of the doubt for • a cAtch at mid-of! before lie, had scored, -Burko taking it close to the ground, but after making 10 (the only double figures in, the innings), was caught by Darroch off Smith. Tnen the unexpected happened, and Union were all- oilt for tlia remarkably small score of 30. Of the eight wickets seven were cftught and one Stumped (n(rt one bowled). Although a couple' of catches wero missed, tho fine fielding of the Rivals team was worth watching. Smith put up a splendid bowling performance, taking seven wickets for 12 runs (six caught and oho stumped). Rivals thus won by 168 runs, ivhicli puts them in third place in the , competition. Artillerjr had an easy win over Vivian by an innings and 0 runs. Artillery n\hde 171 in their firH innings, while Vivian, playing nine.men, only-made, 49 in tlieir first innings. In their second innings (playing eight men) they did.much'better, putting together 113 before tho last wicket fell. Towards this total Mills made 47"(not-out),-; without a, chance: Artillery, by their, win, take second place. The maloh between Oriental. and T.M.C.A. 1 was noted for the fine display of batting ■by • the Rev. R O. Blamircs. who made ,181 not cut, but should have been given out when 180. He tipped a fast one from Gourlay which was hsld by Alpe bfhind (he wickets; otherwiw it was a splendid display of free hittihg. Oriental lried.no fewer than nine bowl; ers, but without success, and had to suffer 'defeat.by 97 rims on the first innings. POSITIONS OF TEAMS. .
