SATURDAY'S MATCHES. TWO-POINT WIN FOR NORTH. CENTRAL DEFEATS HUTT. North has a Two-point Win. The match between North and East B took an unexpected turn soon after it resumed on Saturday. A week earlier Hast B completed an innings for 12G and North had lost fivp wickets for 103. It was a good leg-in, but as events turned out, North only secured a lead on the first innings by "the skin of their teitli," so to speak. Hales and Stephenson set up a brisk attack when play resumed and were quickly rewarded. Wynyard went out first ball to Stephenson, and Blacklock succumbed to the fourth ball sent down by Hales. The not-out 111911 of the previous playing day wero thus disposed of in a few minutes, but thedroubles of North were only beginning. Luckio was run out and Berendsen was caught in the slips by Stephenson, off Hales. When Southall, the last man to go ill, joined Wilkinson at tho wickets, North wanted twelve runs lo give thenra lead 011 the first innings. The rising hopes of lOast B were quickly shattered, however, Wilkinson drove the ball, to tho far corner of the ground for (i, tho victim in this case being Hales, and he followed up with a drive for three, off Stephenson. Then Southall made the winning hit, a stroko for three, off Hales. Nash brought tho innings to an end by taking a catch from Southall.

Tho only jmtsman who really shone in the East B second innings was Hutchings, who guve a good display, and knocked up 3,' i before he was bowled by Luckiq. Crombie, in the field, made a fine rfecovery. Ho dropped a fairly easy .catch from C'ollett, but returned the ball to the wickets so swiftly that Berendsen had the wicket down long before the batsman could set back to it. Hales skied a ball and Luckie took the catch in great style, near the boundary fence. Stephenson was caught at the wickets by Berendsen.

The final scene in the match—the North second innings—was inglorious. With an hour for play North had nothing to lose and a possible point to win by opening out, but the exhibition of big hitting that might have been expected did not eventuate. Instead there was a rot which was only arrested by a resort to stonewalling. Hiddlestono sent up o long-distance catch which was taken in splendid style by Smith. Wilkinson and Wilson were caught at the wickets in rapid succession by Wagstaffe, and Phillips lost his Wicket. first ball, to an off-break from Dooley. After that North attempted nothing more than to hold up the wickets and play out time. Bray (who got his finger burst by a ball that bumped up from the pitch), and Blacklock filled in the last half hour with a rather dreary exhibition. Blacklcclc's total score was one run, and Bray made only seven. Of the last 21 overs, 13 were niai<Jons. There was a good deal of ironical applause when stumps were drawn. North gain a two-point win on the first innings. Hutt and Central.

The match Central t. Hutt was continued on the Hutt grounds on Saturday, and won by tho Central Club on the first innings. In their first innings Central compiled 213 runs, against 165 scored by tho Hutt Club. Aldersley did all the batting for Hutt, his score of 74 consisting of several "sixers" and "tourers."
