A very enjoyable half-day match, which was played at Kelburn Park between the nbovn Departments, ended in favour of the Tax team by 36 runs and three wickets. The Insurance eleven, who were cap- ' tinned*by W. Spcncc, started badly, but afterwards made a fair recovery, and were finally dismissed for 135 (Kelling 3l ough 8. Clcary 11, M'Lean 15. Scarbor--1 ough 8, Clcary 8, cxtrns 29). I'olling who . played right through the innings, gave a . nottnln if. diflicult chances during his two . hours' stay at the wickets. Noel Smith (five wickets for 19) and Eonaldson (five ; for 40) were the best of the six bowlera. 1 tried by the Tax team, who replied with , 171 for seven wickets (Ronaldspn 68 re- , tired, Ambler 43, Patcrson 19 Almao IS, , mid Casey 10). Donaldson (captain) looked ■ good for a century, but as the time for drawing stumps was approaching he generously retired in order to allow his comrades :;o have a strike. Spence (three for a 2), Choat (one for 33), Scarborough (0110 for 31). and Dr. Gilmer (one for 341 were the bent 0! the liiE'irnnce bowlers. Afternoon tea, provided by tho "Tax" ladies, added to the pleasure of the contest. This match revived a fixture that was Inaugurated in 1882 and lapsed in ICSC. I 't'lio first match was played in March, ' " 1882. the last month that the association's I headnnartcrs were at Newtown Pork (tho ■ Basin Reserve was reopened fn September, ' 1«"2). On that occasion there was an ex- • oitina finish, the winning hit for the In- ' suranco side being made by Mr. G. W. ! Bnrltrob, who has been the Department's : acting-secretary since the recent retirnl ment of Mr. W. B. Hudson. Mr. G. A. 3 Kennedy, the Department's present chief s clerk also contributed prominently to tho ■ winning, of the initial match. The Tax ! Department's win in tho recent contest was very popular, as the Insurance renre- : Eentatives won most of the matches play- • ed in the 'eighties, It is honed to arf range next season's match for St. An- ■ drew's Day, as ft - Is diflicult to o-et two I full innings played in one nfternoon.
