Tolaga, was played here on Saturday last. Tolaga hatting first- were all disposed of in 30 minutes for 20 runs, the howling of T. Oates (5 for 3) and Ciayden (3 for 10) being particularly neenrate. Tokomaru then put up the small total of 45, (!. Oates (12) being top scorer. Dr. AYeeks did the best howling for Tolaga and performed the hattrick. After hinch Tolaga tattle things more lively and by hard hitting made 107 runs it! their second innings (H. Nelson 43, Rev. AA . Robinson 25. Smith 12, anil L. Xc .-va Up. This left Tokomaru SO runs to make to win. The finish was do e and exciting, Tokomaru ev- tit nally winning by the small margin to 2 rims. The best of the local players were put out in vapid succession, and lor very few runs. It looked like a sure thing for Tolaga, when the ' tail" of our team came to light ; .1. Oates putting on 19 and E. R. Murphy 11 just when the runs were badly needed. O'Keeto and A) i Pewhangi were in last and hud to make 30 runs to win. They did what was required of them, O'Keefe doing the bulk of the scoring, one of his hits going out- of the ground for 0. The spectators were worked up to a high pitch of excitement, and when the match was won, carried the last two men off the field shoulder high. Mr. J. Moore (Tolaga) and players officiated ns umpires and as usual no decisions were disputed. Our cricketers have now* great hopes of winning the championship for tho season.
