CITY CRICKET.

SOME HEAVY SCORING, GIBBES & KINVIG TOP TUP CENTURY. CENTRAL BEAT OLD BOYS. Off. theory— ko much "off" that tho arm. of tho umpire twice sigivftlled a wido—was what Uid Boys' bowters flung along the. turf to Kinvig when ho went in to complete his century on Saturday. Liko a celebrated King of England, who apologised for being "an.UH* conscioiiable timo, in dying," Cue Central batsman was an "unconscionable" time in spanking off tne few runs re* quired, and Central supporters gloomed pessimistically over tho waste of time, but.it was not Kinvig's fault, and, in fact, there was ho help for it. When "Play I" was called, Kinvig was 96, and his partner (.Jackson) 07, and, as tho fieldsmen took post, it was at onco noticeablo that there was siot ;i single Old Boy on the "on" side. Hio proceedings were hardly fast enough ta hays raced a centipede, and, all the time, tho Clock was ticking along to. the disadvantage of Central. Kinvig missed every ball in Beechey's ...first dvor bar. one, Jackson smote 7, single off Grace's first oyor, and Kinvig duly missed all tho rest. Throughout Ikcehe.y's second over Jackson slashed hard, but did not manage to hit anything more solid than, tl'.o. air. In Grace's second over Kinvig travelled up to "all but" with a square cut for three., and further, punishment of tho atmosphere was inflicted by Jackson. Keeclicy's third over was nearly all "wind cuts" by both :nen. Tho air also bad a bad tiifio <iuriug tlio next two overs, but the ball escaped, and half an hour rolled away beforo' Kinvig smacked tho desired one through the field. Central did slot lose attotln instant in declaring. In Pursuit of Three Centurlos. Old Boys, with more than three centuries to catch up, opened to the artillery of Saunders and Ryan, and it took 3 littlo time to disc-over whether their programme was to be run-getting or daylight-wasting, D. Hay was brilliantly caught by Ryan, and, with tho total at 31, a catch by Naughtou sent Bcechc.v back. Tuoker, who had taken block "one down," played attractively, showing his usual variety of strokes,. but, when lie had been at tho wicket for 45 minutes, ho lunged forward at ono of liyan's, and Patterson.. _ tho wicketlteepsr, had tho bails off like- winking. At this stage Ryan had wrecked four wickets for '21. The stand of tfeo aay followed. Blacklock and J. Hay got. together, and it was only then that it became apparent that Old' Boys wefo plavihg to secure a draw by beating tho, clock". Blacklock was in ten minutes' before he scored at all, and ho consumed no ic-ss than 25 minutes in putting together his first tel. Oncfl or twiee 1* so far forgot himself as to hoist. Ryan and M-'Cardell out of tho ground, but these wore tho only gleams of his usual style. T-lio partnership froze together more and more solidly, and, at owe time, the job of getting this pair out scorned insuperable. Onco Blacklock skied Saunders into the slips,- but -Claude Hicltison astonished everybody by missiu'ir the chance. Biaokkek had been aAlie wicket for an hour and five min-, utes wlwn helot fly at M'Cafdoll, and was bowled. Everything then scorned to devolve on J. Ha'v, who had come in at 5.0.0 p.m., and had played tho daylight-waitivig came • • ■ with •••• great'xr. took him forty minutes to ■ slide into'double -figures, and an hourto achieve twenty. He had bean -at the wickets for 85 minutes when Saunders sent down lws off stump with -V medium-paced one. Tho \ ietorsan was now. coming with a wet sn'.l, and lio got rid of the remaining Old Boys, ot : whom Mason was much the. brightest. , The last man was out at 6 o'clock, and . Central got a two*pt>i ; ut win. To thoso ; who like dogged play, thfl match was v ■not without its element- of interest. Nortft Beats East B. Oyer on No. 2 wicket East B, though ■ losing to North, showed., form. Bowks top-scorctl attractively, ® a^ . Quito a pretty partnership; . Hufchings and Collett, If cither bats- _ man felt as confident as he looked, ha must have hew nnite at home w tho ; bowling. Hatchings, who was not out, ; got a well-d.4scr.ved round at rpplausa from the spectators as he -retired. Hiddlcstano's 'Iwwliitg—he upset three wickcts in throe overs—and Soutna-.il s eatenins were bright fohtufes in North s out* ittt oHienvise their ftcming was ■not very stunning. WitliNil to North began their final innings at 3.40 p.fn, and'tho job looked easy but Grimmett produced googlies and ;legbreaks sv.fiicieiilly difficult to pet quit of Hiddlestono and Q.ninn. At that stage the. East trundler had lowered two wickets for four runs, hut "a good partnership between Bray and Wilson for third wicket settled the result. Vi ilson s first hair from Grimnvctt was a partwularlr rough o.ius, but ho it, aim, thereafter, was wot trouWftd at all. •His batting average for the season now reads very attractively. After a hard struggle and' amid grca.t excitement Petono defeated N ictori.l College by. two wickets and 3 rims, the total scores lseiug: Petone. 237; > >c-toria,-College 2-34. In the -first mrnKs tho former knocked up l«sd and the tatter 120. tfast A defeated Hutt at ttutt. Sonto good batting was displayed b.y.East; particularly by Gibbes, who KnocKcd up a century not- out. Midlane was caught out, while going strong at 83, and Baker got run out at 61. NORTH and east b.

Christchurch, January 2ii The Plunket Shield match Auckhnd v. Canterbury was continued to-day. The weather was perfect when p'ay was resumed, and the wicket had dried'up considerably, whilst tho outfiold was much faster'tlian on tho previous day. Canterbury coutinued their innings, and made 372. Auckland mado a disappointing display, their innings closing for 171. Canterbury went in again, and compiled 82 without the loss of a wicket when time was called. Clark, from tho north end, and Wobds had cliargo of the howling when play re-opened. Whitta (120) and Watsou (11) wero the not-out men from the previous day. Runs came freely from the start, Whitta being tho chief aggressor. A quarter of an hour's play saw the total taken from 228 to 250, and then Dacre relieved Clark. The tally of 270 went up before long, and Taylor replaced Dacre. The change was successful, Whitta chopping a ball well outside the off stump on to his wickot. 278—7—147. The retiring batsman had batted four hours and twenty minutes, and received quite ail ovation on returning. Bruuton only scored a single, and then returned a difficult one to Taylor, which was taken. 284—8 —1. Wilson joined his club-mate and cut one to Wright at point, which was a possible chance. Brook replaced Woods, and. in Taylor's next over Watson wa.« stumped, the ball rebounding from the wiekct-kceper's pads. 289 —9—38. Moilaghan was tho last man, and Wilson sent Brook to leg for 4, olf-drovf him for 4, and glanced him to leg for a pair, reaching double figures olf thrc< consecutivo balls. A stolen single t< Monaghan sent 300 up for 4i) hours play. Wilson kept busy, and Clark re placed Brook. Tho Sydenham man cui him for two, and glanced him prettily t< leg for 3. Monaghan got Clark line!; to leg for 4. Smeeton missed a chancc of stumping and Mouaghai reached double figures with another fun 4 to leg. Woods took the ball Iron Clark, and the left-hander got him ti leg for 2, and straight drove him for 4 With 330 up, Jlorsppol relieved Taylor and Monaghau scored 7 oft' tho over 111 tho next over from Woods Monachal landed him nearly to tho members stand, and lifted the next oil to tho ens stand, the ball going into the adjoin ing section —the first six of the in nings. 110 reached 40 with a fine off drive. The scoring was the fastest o tho innings. At 359 Taylor repined llorspooi, and Brooke-Smith bowled a the other end. Nino oamo olf the lat tor's first over, s hut in. tho next..the left bander wa3 caught at point. Tho part nership had been the most prolific o the innings, putting on 83 runs. Th innings lasted 5iJ hours. M'Cormick and Horspool went out t open Auckland's innings. Wilson opene the bowling, slid off his second ba M'Cormick was missed at the wickcl Monaghan was tho other bowler, and i his tiiird over ho bowled Horspool wit a yorker. 6—l—l. Wi-ight followcc

Brooke-Smith partnered his captain, and with an uppish cut for ; three font the first ten on '.he hoard. , Slow play saw 20 raised. With the total . at 48 I'aterson-replaced Wilson. Al'C'ori mick survived a confident appeal for [ l.h.w. He sent the next hack to Mona- ! glum, which the latter made a splendid attempt at, and from the last ball of the , over ho stopped a straight one with his , pads. 49—;1—15. Brook filled the gap. and the half century went up for just • over an hour's play. Brojkc-Smitli gave a possible Imt very hot chance at square leg, and then reached • 40 with a tine four to leg. Paterson then sent him n fast full toss, and the . batsman, swinging round at it, missed . the ball and hit the top of his'stump's. 09—4—42. Smeeton followed. Brook lifted a full toss to square-leg, but Cay- [ gill misjudged what would probably . have been a hard catch in any case. At 87 Monnghan replaced Paterson, and j at 97 Wilson relieved his club-mate, and tho century went up for an hour and 55 minutes' play. Four to each ! batsman kept the score mounting steadily, and a fine off-drive to Brook sent 120 up. He repeated tlie stroke, but it went to Beal, who brought off a fir.e catch low down. 121—5—35. Sioman was the ingoer, and Beal relieved Jlona- ; ghan. Sioman lifted Wilson's first 1 ball to Whitta, at point, 'but an easy [ catch was dropped. An off-drive to the ; same batsman sent 130 up, but he then lifted a short one to Hayes at mid-oii. ' 135—6—9. Dacre was next, and he lifted ' his first ball to the leg boundary. He ran into double figures with a couple more leg hits, but in Beal's next over ho drove ono hard to mid-off where Hayes 1 took .a one-handed catch cleverly. 148 —7 —ll. Woods came and wont, putting his first ball into his namesake's hands at slip. 148—8—0. Taylor joined Smeeton and tho latter, with a fine four to the on, sent 150 up. Ho then . lifted a short ono nearly to the leg fence where Caygill ran in and took a ; catch low down splendidly. 152—9—34. ' Clark was the last man and quickly ' ran into double figures, but he was | then bowled by Wilson, the innings \ closing after threo hours' play for 171. Whitta elected to bat again and went in with Woods. Clark and Taylor had charge of the bowling. Singles and a 1 pair to each sent ten up. Whitta reached double figures and Woods followed suit with a fine off-drive for 4, 20 going up in quick time. A double change brought Woods and Brook on, [ but runs came fast. Brook beat Whitta and the wicket-keeper, 2 byes resulting. ; Fifty went up for half an hour's play, ; and.6o followed in a few minutes, both batsmen playing high-class cricket. Dacro replaced Woods at 67 and Woods ' topped his first inning's score with a fine 4 to leg. Taylor went on again ■ in Brook's 'place and Whitta readied 1 30 with a beautiful on-drive for 4. Horsi pool bowled the last over and stumps : were drawn with the total at S2 for no ' wickets., i 1 The scores are:— Canterbury.—First Innings, ' H. B. Whitta, h. Taylor 147 I'\ Woods, c. Taylor, b.
