CITY CRICKET.

HEAVY SCORING. TWO CENTURIES AT PETONE; BY SMYRKE AMD DONOCHUE. Cricket. was uninteresting on -tli< Basin Reserve on Saturday, .The team; wore disorganised through the absence of men; in .tho South Island. Central had a very, easy three-points, win ovei East B, by an innings and 82 ruii3, When tho round was commenced three weeks ago East B had made 126 ir their first strike. To this Central replied with 202. East B's case lookec thoroughly hopeless,, but no one expected tbbm to'fail so miserably as tncj did. Hutchings, with 1". not out, was top scorer, find tho onlv man who looked liko miking runs. Ryan and Kinvic did tho damago with tho ball, and did it very effectively. East A and. Victoria College provided somewhat better orickct.' The College team notched a first-innings win. The Victorians had hit up IDS ai their opening venture,- ntid East A had made only 109. In their second innings College declared with ono wicket down for 111. This left East A 201 runs to got in .an hour and a half. The rate of scoring was rather slow;, and when stumps wero drawn tho East board showed only 121. Midlano gave the chief batting exhibition of the day. His 65 not out in- . eluded a number of fine strokes all round tho wjeket, and he had the bowling at his mercy. .-.. ■-; 'IW match North v. Hutt was completed' at the Hutt, and resulted in a three-point victory for North. Tho match was opened on December 13, when the scores' stood: .Hutt, first, innings,' 102, and North ten wickets for 184. ,'On Saturday North, completed the.ro-first innings for 189,' and then Hutt opened their second innings which was closed owing to the ab'senco of several of tho batsmen with six wickets for 96. Requiring ten runs to win, North: went in and secured the necessary runs with tho loss of ono wicket. A feature'of tho ; ' Petone-Old Boys mutch was'-tho heavy scoring by , tho suburban team, two men, Smyrko and Donbghue,' each topping the. century. CENTRAL AND EAST B. Central.—First Innings.. S.

Dupgtlin, January 10. The weather was beautifully fino for the-continuation of tho Wellington-

Otago match to-day. 'Die wicket rolled nut like a billiard tabic and the outfield was as fast as a cinder track. Watson and Alloo, the two overnight nolout batsmen, resumed with the score at M. The first wicket fell early, Watson only adding two to his overnightscore, when ho put his lea in front to Saunders. Thin brought iri'arlano out to partner Alloo. Both batsmen started by smart sinp-les and the score was quickly taken to 30. M'Farlnno was playing somo" nice strokes on tho off, while Alloo was batting well all round llio wicket. _ Tlie batsmen were playing the bowling with great confidence, but were taking no risks. With his score at L»9 awl the total at 59, M'FaTlane, in playing back, unfortunately hit his wicket. Ho had been showing good form during his stay -at tho crease and never looked like getting out. Two wickets wero down for 59 when Siedeborg joined Alloo, who had been playing fine cricket. Seideberg opened brightly, but was not playing with anything of his old confidence, and with the total at 05 ho played Hiddlestone on to his wicket. Several changes in the bowling had been workod and usually with good effect. lCckhold filled the vacancy and ho opened with a single, and then, losing sigliT, of a ball from Hiddlestone, fell "an easy victim. Ofcago had lost four wickets for 97 when Biggins joined Alloo and tho first century was raised for an hour and ten minutes' play. At tho luncheon adjournment the score was 100 for four wickets, Alloo claiming 40 by patient and reliable cricket. At the resumption of play Saunders took the ball from Hiddlestone, who had taken tho last two wickets for 15 runs. ;Grimmett was bowling at the other end'and Alloo had a narrow squeak in playing him on. Higgins was not comfortable and after getting two singles and a two, was clean bowled by Saunders. Five wickets were down for 105 when Bruges filled tho breach. Alloo was still playing very carefully, but he opened out and brought up 110 by lifting Grimmett to the leg boundary and twice in.succession placed the same bowler'iiuriiqjjtho rails, raising his score to 50, With the score at 12G Bruges was run out. Condliffo was tho incomer nnd had a narrow shave, tho ball beating tho batsman and the wicket and going for four byes. . Alloo was scoring well with fine drives on the off nnd raised the score to 140 with a clinking drive' under the rails. Condliffo opened by getting Saunders to the boundary, but with the score at "142 for seven wickets, Saunders clean bowled tho Otago wicket-keeper. The last four wickets had fallen cheaply, and Otago's prospects of reaching a second century appeared dull indeed, but on Uamsden joining Alloo a useful partnership was set up and was responsible for putting on 58 to the previous score. Both batsmen Were quito at home to tlio bowling and gave a good exhibition of cricket. Frequent changes in tho bowling wero made to break tho partnership and Alloo was first to go. After getting his century in 84 minutes he mishit a ball from Grimmett and was easily caught by that bowler. In his due innings' he never gave a chance, He received a grent ovation on returning to the pavilion. Torrance came in and ran into double figures, but after getting 13 he was caught by Tucker off Grimmett. Downes, tho last man, lasted long enough to make two singles and the innings closed for 236. The bowling had no particular sting, but Saunders bowled with good judgment. Wellington opened their second innings with Blacklock and Grace. They made a bad start, however, Blacklock being run out within the first couple of minutes without registering a score. A second wicket fell for 32. Hiddlestono, after making 19 in' good style, being caught bv Downes at point, off Torrance. Hay joined Grace and the score was carried to 56 when tho latter was caught bv Higgins.'at square leg.after making" 28'. Joolin'succeeded and this batsman and Hay. wero not out at thp drawing of stumps at 6 p.m., when Wei I lincton had three -wickets down- for f,2. ■ The scores are:—
