Bennett (Petone), three for 29. The round, -begun a fortnight ago, was' concluded on Saturday last, in excellent weather and on dry wickets. There were no really outstanding performances. Central had no difficulty in defeating East B. who, 73 behind on tho first innings, were never in tho hunt. Wagstaff c and Hutchings (Eaet B) made a promising beginning in the second innings, when the side wanted 202 to win. The pair made 53, but Eobineon and Naughtoti i got amongst them after that, arid the side "wae out for 104. East A, after leading College by 167 on the first innings, won out easily by an innings and 27* runs. M/Intosb. batted very nicely for the losers. North administered a severe thrashing to Hutt' Southall's effective bowling being a big factor in the win. South defeated Petone by 15 runs on the first innings, after a very even struggle. M'Kenzie showed good all-round form for Petone, hitting up 64 and bagging three for 17. EAST A BEAT COLLEGE. Eucfc Aj simply buried Victoria Coll6ge at Kelburne Park. A 6 the result of the first day's play, the students had scpred 98 and East A 232 for eight wickets, M'Girr 105 and Watson 22, each not out, Theso batemen continued on Saturday, and when M'Girr had reached 124 he was clean bowled by Saundere. Wateon carried out his bat for 33. M'lntoeh, whose 71 included one 5, three 4's, and thirteen 3'b, saved the Collegians from utter mediocrity. He played vigorous and forceful cricket all round the wickef. Scores :— EAST AND COLLEGE. East* A. — First Innings.

On the College ground, on a bumping wicket, Central had a rather easy threepoint win over East B. On the first Saturday Central had made 152 and East had eight wickets down for 76. The remaining two wickets i roved good for only three more runs. Central went in to bat again with the intention of hitting up the best poeEibie score in the

least possible time. Kinvig did some very good hard hitting when he got set, and Blamires knocked up 35 in a very little while. Robertson did not last long, but while he was in he kept the fieldsmen moving. He got two 4's on to the hill and was eventually ' caught by Collett almost on the boundary. The partnership between Blamires and Kinvig yielded ,68 runs. Blamires was missed by Collett in the slips when his score stood at 22. The catch by Wagstaff behind the wicket, accounting for his dismissal, was a very neat piece of work. Kinvig carried his bat for 54, compiled without a chance. Somo of his strokes were very pretty to see. lie made five boundary hits without a ''single" intervening. The innings was declared closed with five wickets down for 128 runs, so that East B had 202 to make to win and two hours and ten minutes in which to do it. Detailed scores : —
