Ly virtue of a win by an innings ana six runs in tlie annual match played at the High School ground on Saturday, Law recaptured tne Arthur Rees Memorial Cup, which had been held by the Banks since last year’s game. Law won the toss and- batted, running up the good total of 195. J>. E. Chrisp (53) and C. Dow (41) had a prolific partnership which added 66 for tlie third wicket. R. E. Gambrill also batted brightly and scored 22 out of 30 put on for the first wicket. J. Haisman (15), C. Stubbs (13 not out) and L. Parker (11) also reached double figures. For tlie Banks, Greig (5 for 34) and Winter (3 for 29) met with most success, while J. Mouat put in a lot of work in taking 3 for 67. . , , j Going to tlie wickets, Bonks mode a promising start, Winter (18) and Whitehead (14) putting on 32 for the SrsT' wicket. Thereafter, however, 'Che batsmen failed, except fhr Greig (23) and Dodd (14), and the total only reacned 88. J. Haisman and R. E.

As in the first innings, Greig a«ain top-scored with 26, while 'Winter (20) and Street (15) batted brightly. Law experimented a little with their, bowling talent, and D. EChrisp had the fine figures of 5 for 17, G. I. Parker 3 for 7. and N. H. Bull, who exploited full tosses with great success, 2 for 11. Despite the heat, c.tc., both teams fielded very well, Law particularly so. G. Rees made a very smart catch off 'Bull' and fi. D. Chrisp hit the wicket with a. return from forty yards out in running Dixon out. . Following were the scores: LAW.—First Innings. R. E. Gambrill, c Street, b Winter 22 D. E. Chrisp, b Mouat , 53 F. W.
