CEICKET MATCH

CROWD AT BASIN RESERVE

I The disappointing weather of Tuesday and the postponement of the cricket match between the visiting M.C.C. team and a AVellington representative team made yesterday's glorious sunshine doubly welcome, and throngs of people gathered at the Basin Keservo to see the famous players in action. Tho usual stand and specially-erected stands were by no means adequate in accommodating the people, and every bank was covered. The houses on the hills surrounding the Basin also served as excellent vantage points for many onlookers. Two floral cricket bats, one decorated in red, white, and blue, and tho other in the colours of the AVellington team, stood as mascots at the front of the main stand.
