MID-WEEK ASSOCIATION, q —' for CENTURY BY WILSON. ags • ■ Pi'< —~ mo bei ■ The eighth round .of the mid-week ;j y competitions was concluded on the f or Basin Reserve yesterday afternoon. The match Rivals-Artillory resulted in a -ph f our .point win to Artillery, which o ff, leaves them with a lead of eight points Th for tho championship. Rivals made ha, 137 in their first innings, and Artillery a g had lost two ■sviokets for 81 runs on tho thi first day. Continuing yesterday, the B g] two not-ont meni Wilson (38) and Harris (11) soon cot to work, and, treating W all bowlers alike,' piled on the runs. When tho score stood 226 (Wilson 115, re] Harris 78), Artillery declared. Rivals, y;. who had only sevon men, then essayed g a to wipe off the deficiency, ninety, but y, started badly, Crouch being badly run jj f out after making 7. Dr. Anderson al=o fell to a fine catch by Harris, off his w ) own bowling. With five .wickets down c |j for the email score of 29, things did not look well, but Low. and George, getting together, looked as though they would succeed in playing out time. For- th tune, however, was against them, tor, after carrying the score to. 78, and with m , only ten minutes to, go, George fell to a to fine catoh by. Harris, off M'lntyre. Tho Oriental-Union match resulted m en unexpected win for Union, Oriental having a lead of twenty-seven runs on ~ tho first innings, disposed of Union in ". their second venture for the small score 2' of 97. Oriental started their second in- gj nine's wanting 74 runs to win, out, fac- Xt ine the attack of M'Girr and Taylor, ~' failed to reach the desired number.POSITION OF TEAMS. ** ■\ P. W. L. Pt. A!

Union's first innings realised 40. In their second innings thoy made 65 (C. C. J.- Bay 19 not out, C. 'Chamberland 14). Oriental won by 168 runs. AUSTRALIA V. WELLINGTON. Tho return match with the' Australian team which is to- be played on Friday and Saturday next is arousing great interest. Wellington's splendid performance in dismissing tbo visitors' formidable array of batsmen for 124 (by far the lowest score made by them in New Zealand) is not yet forgotten, but at tho same time it is quito expected that Trumper, Armstrong, and Co. will tako their revenge on this occasion. If they do a treat is in 6tore for local enthusiasts. The reports from Christcliurch indicate that Trumper's inuings of 293 in the Canterbury inatcli was really thrilling. An added interest in the coming galne.will lie the presence of J. W. Crawford, the famous Anglo-Australian,, ono of the finest all-round plajers of the present day. He had not reached New Zealand in time to tako part in the former game. Tho local team,_ despite tOie unfortunate absence of Robinson,,is said to bo tho strongest which haß represented Wellington this season. The

selector has had quite a number of representative games to guide him, and tho experience has proved useful.

FOR GOOD FIELDING. Tho proposal to raise a sum of money for a trophy or trophies for conspicuous work in tho field in the coming match against Australia has materialised. Iho proposal was to limit donations to not more (or lees) than 2s. 6d., and a number of promise to contribute wero readily obtained. Yesterday tho list was formally opened, his Worship tho -Mayor being asked to put his namo down first. This Mr. Luko readily consented to do, offering to give a, much larger donation. This offer of a larger donation, however, had to he declined, as it had been agreed by the promoters of the scheme that not. moro than ,2s. 6d. was to be asked from each contributor. WELLINGTON REPRESENTATIVES. The following is tho team which will represent Wellington against Mr. A. Sims's Australian eleven on Friday and Saturday:—Brice, Saunders, Southall, Grimmett, Howe, Gibbes, M'Girr, Beechoy, Hay, Baker, and Hiddlestono. Brico goes into tho team as Casoy, who was to replace Robinson (the firstchosen fast bowler), is not available. POSTPONED. . All matches fixed for Saturday under the auspices of the Boys' Cricket League, will be postponed, owing to tho match between Australia and Wellington.

At a meeting of tho executive of the Otago Cricket Association to-night the allowance made to players -who recently visited Australia was discussed, and it was decided: "That in the opinion of the association the allowance to players should not have been arranged without tho sanction of • the associations concerned in the guarantee, and that the payment, in circumstances such as those of "tho Australian tour, were most undesirable." ■'
