WEEK-END CRICKET

« GOOD SCORING ON THE BASIN HIDDLESTON'S FINE EXHIBITION The second-day of tho East-North cricket, fixture on the Basin Keserve on Sntiminy was again responsible for an excollenl dinplay of batting. Tho match drew n big crowd, and tho wicket was in iirst-clnsn shape. When etumos wore drawn on tho previous Saturday, Sasl. wero all out tor 1153. Nothing dauntoU, tU". North batsumn faced the bowling with every confidence on Saturday, and strongly challenged their opponents. Thoy lasted tho greater pait of the afternoon out, and a hno exhibition of batting 6iiw them iinislh up :>3 runs short of East's tally. East thus won

on the first innings, thero being no timu Ito make, it a twa-'iuumgs cwi:".m. A feu- , ture of the afternoon was the pcriorm;,ance of Hiddloston, who Kin up well over ■. tho century, giving only or.o chance, and ;that to Hutching* «■; M. Ho severely \ punished the bowling, his score including I (about a dozon "l's." ilo and Bray opened, and in fifty minutes the board registered I 100 runs. They continued to bat freely

till 111 was reached, when Bray was icaurfit by Hurdlings in tho slips. Aslii ford came on in place of Bray, but ho i&ovor seemed to get tho bowlers' measure, ai'd when tho score litood at 154, and bill own total at 15, ho was disposed of i'n the samo manner, nnd in the same pllo.ee as liis predecessor. Mkldleton then joined Hiddlesion, but he did not last vi'try long. His successor was Burton, who shaped nicely right through the pica-, surviving Hiddloston, who put one up to Di Oil at deep raid-off'when ! ho bad scored 122 Four for 251. Quinn wn» nexl. Un the j.ceiio, but through bad judgment ho was 5 un. out shortly after attaining double li»urd ?, thus materially reducing North's chano-'S of catching up with their opponent .'3 score. Shortly afterwards Burton wt as given out l.b.w. to Ihnd, and llallam, who had succcodcd Quinn, proved also tq be only a passenger. A roc now scemoci to have ect in, Patrick being the only in ember of tho remaining batsmen who via ado a stand. Tho ninth wicket fell at 323, which left North with 31 to "et in <\ rder to win. Partnered by Crombio I'aicrick commenced to ruako every pos't ii winning post, only to bo clcanbowlett 'by *>ind within a minute or so, ami i» wis all over. Tho • Petonc-Old Boys fixture on the Petone oval proved exceedingly interesting' tlio latter team securing a threepoint \«rdict by the narrow margin of two rubs. On tho previous Saturday both tea ms had been to the wickets, Old Boys' compilation, exceeding that ot the homo tea ui by 26 runs. The visitors' second attempt realised 129' run*. of which Birch anil '.Knowles-Smith were responsible for ;12 and 36 respectively. At 1 o'clock Pel ono endeavoured to reduce tho difference, sending out Gedye and Borrows to bTeal'c the ice. Tlio telgraph registered 31 vhen Borrows fell a victim to Barclay. 31. Nicholls joined Gedye, and'after tb»: addition of six runs tho latter gave place to Finlayson. This player opened, out freely, but his career was cut short .after he had scored nine. Sniyrk, the ncixt man, failed to break his "duck," while Brice, who succeeded him, did not remain long. The brothers Nicholls carried the score to 100, at which stage Ma rk, with 33 on, was caught in tho fiisld by Smith. H. Nicholls and Cate bo th found their way into doublo figures. Nineteen runs wero now required to win, and the decision,obviously remained with the "tail." Bold had contributed, nine when ho fell a victim to Barclay. The task of obtaining tho required 10 runs devolved on Hamilton and Pjjrant. Incitement was at a high pitch,, and each stroke was applauded. Evrtr so slowly the difference was lessened mr.til it was eventually reduced to two, at - 'which point the scoring stopped. Playing on the> '.Hutt ground the local men obtained a. -.three-point win over Thorndon. In tlicir first innings on the previous Saturday 'the visitors had compiled 159. and Hutt had responded with 131 for three wkiki-ts, M'Girr (62) and M'Kay (33) being tVio nofcout men. On resuming, M'Girr added six to hia tally before he was bowled by Warne. Shortly afterwards M'Kay was ran out. The remaining wickets bnought tho score to 200. Warno and Garriid .shared the wickets. . Thprndon's secsond 'attempt produced 121' runs, the tdp score being that of Phillips, who played a good innings for 41. In tho bowlinjn section Aldersley and M'Ghr divided 'tho honours. To obtain a three-point win Hutt required 81 runs, and at 5.30 H'Girr and Aldersley took the crease. The former player did not spare tho handlers, and in a very short time had liittled' up 39 runs, his score including six fours and a "sixer." He fell a victim l.b.w. to Carrnthers. M'Kijy joined Aldersley, who was playing good -picket, nnd at about fi.25 the object had been attained at the cost of ono wicket. Aldersley carried his bat for 33.
