Three new matches were commenced, and tho wickets were fn lirst-class condition. The best individual score of the afternoon was put up by Ken. Tucker, who made JSfl. not out, playing for Old Boys against Hutt. Ho gavo an.excellent display,simply placing each ball practically where ho liked. Treating the bowling with indifference, he rattled on 4's in groat style, the greater part of his very line total being made up of "boundaries." As a tide, Old Boys achieved a record for tho present season by compiling 508 runs for seven wickets. They went in to bat first, and had not completed their .innings when stumps were drawn for tho day. During tho course of the play there were three partnerships which yielded over a century each. Ponaldsoit and Lambert put on 127 between them, Tucker and liinnie 108, and Tucker and Knowles-Smith 110. Lambert had hard luck in being run out when lie was just one run off his century. Plaving against North, Returned bol-dic-rs'mnde 210 in their first strike, J. Patrick (01) being the best run-getter, Thomas coining next with 37.
