CRICKET.

Two matches were played on the Oval on Saturday, the principal being between the eleven that proceed to Oamaru on New Year’s Day and an eleven of the D.C.C. The former made 51; Macdonnell with 23, and Park with 10. being the only ones who succeeded in getting double figures. The other eleven made 129, with the loss of seven wickets ; D. K. Rhodes getting 45, C. Kettle 45, and Macfarlane 20. The Oamaru team was terribly weak in bowling. A team from the ‘Guardian’ office played an eleven selected from the establishments of Messrs Mills, Dick, and Co. and Fergusson and Mitchell. The ‘Guardian’ eleven won easily, making 108 to their opponents’ 47.
