CRICKET.

The Oval on Saturday, presented appearance. ' Two" matches "were played—one between an eleven ,©£ the D.C.C. and eighteen of the Citizens' C.C., and the other the Standard y.,^he.lTaiyerßity.Club rI In the first-named contest' some excellent cricket was shown, and the business-like manner in which the Citizens obtained their score'bf 124 shows the club to.have made considerable progress latterly: : The DJC.C. got 54 runs for four wickets; and, as the match could not be played out, it resulted in a draw. The other match proved an easy victory _fqr_the University,. .Jihe Standard only*scormg3i t» their opponents' 74 runs. At the North Dunedin Reserve the Albion Club played a match with the Brewers, who have lately established a cricket club, .and, considering the bad condition of the ground, some fair pjay was ..displayed.. The bowling of the 1 Brewers was very effective, but the Albions were a little too good for their opponents, and the scores obtained were—Albions, 7.3; Brewers, 51. St. played the juniors of the Carisbrook Club, the former making 29 in -their* &st and ;4{) in their second, or a total' of 78.; The Carisbrook made 57 urthe first innings, and eventually won the match with eight7wickets to spare. The result was to some extent owing to the absence of two of the " juniors," for whom a substitute played, who caught six of the St. Matthew's team i» their first innings. The bowjing of G. Morris for the Carisbrook, and of ErMaitland iw the-.St.l Matthew's Club, was excellent, as was also the, wicket-keeping of A. Tidy and Cargill for their respective aides. .
