CITY CRICKET

IN CHILLY WEATHER ! FINE BATTING BY MORGAN The weather ivas very cold and boisterous for cricketing oil Saturday, but the heavy rains had Jiot made the grounds unplayable, and the championship contests were proceeded with. There were three mutches oil the Basin Reserve, and in two of them fairly good scores were made. Treutliam inet trouble in tlio form of the North slow howler, Southall, who found the wicket to liis liking, and rattled down five wickets at a cost of only 19 ruus. North have already run up 217 rims lor five wickets, so Trentham's case (all out looks hopeless. One of the North batsmen, Morgan, provided tho treat of the day. He made a century by beautiful batting, and his innings included six sixes, one five, and seven fours. Central, with a first-inning's score of 215, appear to have gained an early advantage over Petone, whose first effort so far has yielded only 35 runs for five wickets. Old Boys have begun badly against Bast. They took first strike, and' were all dismissed for 76 by M'Girr and Gibbes. When stumps were drawn Ea3t had four wickets down for 153, of which Midlane had made 80 not out. TRENTHAM AND NORTH. . Trentham.—First Innings. Burnett, c. Barker, b. Southall 9 Gibson, b.
