CRICKET.

It does not say much for cricket that the Committee of the D. .C. should have had to at ck up players to goto Invercargill yesterday. We could have understood the unwillingness to go, whi' hj appeared to be general, if a team had < ad to be made up at a few bouts’ notide, but the Committee gavo members fully three weeks to think over the matter, and it is not creditable to these who sent in their names that they should have backed out at the last moment. At one time it looked as if the match would have fallen through, but through the perseverance of some members of the committee and particularly of Mi R. Park, the hon Secretary, there was got together a team which should be able to render r good account of themselves. They comprise Boitomley, Dickson, Clarke, Paramor, Kennedy, K Brown, Rowe, F. M. Coxhead, Shepherd, Hope, and Austin. On the Oval to morrow the match Dunedin ▼ Oamaru will be played. We give the names of the respective teams : Oamaru: Millington, Nicholls, Sumpter, Rice, South, De Lautour, Creagh, Booth. Fenwick, Tempest, and Maud Dunedin: Colliuson, Fenwick, FultonFFt. t Godby A., Godby H. F., Johnston, M‘Donnell, M‘Parian, Meares, Hose H., and Sutcliffe. The players are requested to be on the ground at 11,30 sharp, otherwise their places will be tilled up.
