CITY CRICKET.

SURPRISE AGAIN,

HOW NORTH'S MEN WON OUT. FROM BAD POSITION. Saturday afternoon was chilly ond somewhat dreair, but a larger crowd than usually patronises the weekly cup matches gathered at tho Basin to see the finish of tho North-Victoria Collcgo fixture. The Victory of North, North were in tho lead for tho championship, but tho odds seemed to lie against their winning tho fixture with College, and the chief result of the defeat of North would have been to bring Central up within a point of the leaders. On the opening day of tho match North, though a strong batting side, were disposed of by Dickson and Saunders, the College bowlers, for 7G runs. College's first innings yielded 147. North commenced their second innings on Saturday last, and after a poor display, which occupied far too much time, they gathered in 139 runs. To win, College needed to make G9 runs, or play out time; the latter amounted to remaining at the wickets for an hour and fifty minutes. College collapsed at the wickets, and in an hoUr the game was over—won by North by 34 runs.: | Three-pointer to Central. Central very easily accounted for South —by an innings and 37 runs. Tho feature of Central's innings was 'Naughton's 09, not out. Fcnton's bowling for South was capital. Patrick's innings for South was a quick, bright display; tho batsman showed the greatest of disrespect for all the bowlers. Some Fine Catches, ' The fielding in the two matches on tho Basin was of a. mixed kind—some excellent, sorao atrocious. Several very attractivo catches were brought off in the North-College match. Dickson took a good ono when bowling to Crombic, and, Saunders, fielding in tho slips, dismissed Bcrendsen with a beauty taken with one hand, low down, while the fieldsman was falling. , , Blamires's 1000 In Sight. Blamires,went to the wickets needing 21 runs to bring up his 1000 for tho season. He. scored s,'so is still 19 short. His total of 98i' includes, of course, tho runs mado in Wednesday matches. ■ I "Three Pointer" for Petone. Petono secuVed a three-point victory over East B at Petono, winning by 214 wickets. •Virtually they had won when three wickets were down, but this was n mistake on the part of the scorers, The outstanding features of tho game were tho batting of M'Kenzie, who played a clever innings, and tho bowling of Hardham, who cultivated a swerve that nonplussed the batsmen.
