The English test match election committee have power to co-operate with two amateurs from among their early selections in the four matches. THURSDAY COMPETITION.

On No. 1 wicket, on Victoria Domain yesterday afternoon, City established a record for Thursday cricket by scoring 141, innings declared closed with five wickets down, against Kaiti. H. White, 51 not out, played well for his runs. He made somo fine strokes, but his innings was marred by several easy chances. Zachariah 29, Macdonald not out 24, Cole 19, and Pirie 11 were the chief contributors. Kaiti took the field with five men, fielding emergencies from the City players. The fielding was pitiably weak, no less than a dozen catches being dropped in the field. The match was unfinished, Kaiti having lost three wickets for 68 on the call of time, W. Gibson not out 41. Whataupoko and West End met on No. 2 wicket. These teams were very evenly matched, and a close game resulted. Whataupoko batted first, and were disposed of for 58. None of their batsmen reached double figures. West End commenced well, their first five wickets putting on 48 ; but Whataupoko rose to the occasion, and dismissed the remaining batsmen for 8 runs, winning by the narrow margin of 2 run o . CITY v. KAITI.

Kaiti took the field in the forlorn hope that reinforcements would arrive later in the afternoon. But their hopes were doomed to disappointment. The Kaiti men have evidently grown tired of playing against heavy odds, and have taken to spending their holiday in other amusements in which they get more pleasure than sitting out a forfeit, or playing with half a team. Cole and Pirie put on 33 runs for the first wicket, when Pirie was caught in the slips off the Kaiti colt, Witty, for 11. Cole was beaten by \Vm. Gibson shortly afterwards for 19. Hedley made one and fell a victim to Witty. James, who followed, was clean bowled by Witty without scoring. Zachariah and White put up the hundred before the tired trundlers could effect a separation. Zachariah was bowled by J. Gibson for 29. Macdonald joined White, and the pair took the score to 141, when Lewis declared the innings closed. White, although he gave a lot of easy chanceß, batted nicely, and has improved considerably since his last appearance on a local ground. He carried out his bat for 51. Macdonald batted well for his quota of 24, not out, but gave an easy chance at the wickets early in his innings. Witty three wickets for 40 runs, J. Gibson one for 44, and W. Gibson one for 50 did the bowling. Kaiti went to the wickets at 5 o’clock, J. and W. Gibson facing the bowling of Lewis and Zachariah. Runs came quickly, 18 runs being knocked off the first two overs. The first 30 runs went up in 15 minutes. J. Gibson was bowled in trying to get Macdonald round to leg. Witty joined his skipper and helped him to increase the score to 67, when he was beaten with a straight one from Cole. W. Gibson showed some of his old form in compiling his runs. He scored rapidly;

his only blemish being his usual weak poke to short leg, an easy chance which the fieldsman declined. H. Gibson made one and hit Macdonald to Zachariah at point. Time was then called, W. Gibson being not out with 41. Cole one for- 6, and Macdonald two for 11, shared bowling honors. The following are the scores: —

WHATAUPOKO V. WEST END. This match was very evenly contested. Whataupoko went to the wickets, and put up 58. Hood and W. Andrews bowled unchanged. The former took 5 wickets for 32, and the latter five foils. Barlow and Tattersall were chief scorers with !) apiece, and Rowland made 7. West End then batted. Dodd and H. Andrews faced J. and H. Perris, and played cautiously. With 10 up Garrett relieved J. Ferris, and two overs later Hodge went on at the other end. At 19 Garrett got Dodd caught, and after two runs had ueen added, cleaned bowled H. Andrews for 12. Keaton-was dismissed in the same over for a duck. Hood made a single and was bowled by Hodge. W. Andrews and McConnell became associated and took the score from 29 to 48. A double change was made ‘in the bowling. Howarth and Barlow took tne place of Hodge and Garrett. W. Andrews returned one to Barlow after compiling 11, and Howarth bowled McConnell for 14. West End wanted 7 runs to tie, and had 4 wickets to fall. Ingram made one, and hit Barlow to Hodge. Roderick followed, and nearly drew the match out of the 'ire. He hit Barlow for a 2 and a 3, which with a single from Cuinming brought West End’s score within two runs of their opponents. Roderick was then saugM cS Barlow by. Hodge at point*

With two runs wanted and two wickets to fall, the Whataupoko skipper relieved Howarth. Curnming was splendidly caught in the slips by ilFerris off Hodge, and Morgan was smartly stumped by McCredie a couple of balls later, leaving Whataupoko victorious by two runs.
