U.O.C, Y. C.C.O. The above match was commenced on Saturday last. The respective captains—Messrs Corfe and Fowler—tossed for choice of innings. Fortune favored the former, and he decided to assume the defensive, sending, in Ollivier and Wood to the bowling of Messrs Chalmers, medium round, and D’Emden, slow underhand. Ollivier commenced with a single off Chalmers, and Wood followed suit. Four runs resulted from the first over of the slows, but the second over proved fatal to Ollivier, who returned an easy one to the bowler, which was not declined. Wood was shortly afterwards let off at the wicket off the slows, but afterwards played very carefully. Maples, who had filled Ollivier’s place, was clean bowled by Chalmers, with the score at 14. H. W. Moore came to Wood’s assistance, and for some time defied all changes of bowling—Fowler relieving D’Emden, and Turner taking the ball from Chalmers. The change at vast succeeded, Moore allowing ra,th p r a simple ball from Fowler to take his off stump. The retiring batsman made 20,’ by tWo 3’s, two 2’s, and singles—three for 18. Corfe next appeared, and soon began to score, but with the score at 65 Wood was bowled by Fowler His sbdre Contained only a 3 and a 2, the rest being singles, T. R. Moore joined Corfe, and scored fast,.putting together his 15 while the latter was making 5. He was easily disposed of by a catch at point. His 15 was composed of one 4 (to leg), two 3’s, one 2, and singles. Souter came next, but only made one before a half-volley from Chalmers, who had again assumed the bowling at the lower end, displaced his bails. Corfe was bowled by Fowler in the next over—five for 85 ; six and seven for 86. Wilson and Fuller then got together, but although the Christchurch captain tried hard to get rid of them ; he was unable to do so, and had to put D’Emden on with the slows—Turner also relieving Chalmers. When 32 had been added to the score, Fuller, who had been scoring well, although somewhat fortunate in some of his hits, was tempted out of his ground by a slow, which he missed, and was stumped in consequence. His 14 were quickly put together, and contained a 3 and three 2’s. H, Cotterill joined Wilson, and ten more runs were added before Monck dismissed him by a good catch at mid-on—nine for 128. Wilson and Dickinson made another stand, and .caused several changes of bowling, Fowler again relieving D’Emden, and Chalmers going . on vice Turner, but without effect. Wilson ihit Fowler s bowling nicely to leg three or tfour times, and Dickinson doing the same. Beard relieved Fowler, and Turner again went on at the lower end, and this time Turner effected a separation by clean bowling Wilson, but not before he had made the highest score on his side —viz, 32, by four 3’s, six 2’s, and singles, Dickinson carrying out his bat for 12, in which were a 3 and two 2’s. The total of the innings being 157. After a short interval the U.C.C.O. took the field. Fuller and T. R. Moore doing the bowling, the former from the lower end. Reeder and Mclntyre were the first to represent the •C.C.O. The former, in Moore’s second over, gave an easy chance to long slip, but it was not taken, and in the next over gave a chance to Ollivier, who was taking his usual place .a few yards behind the wickets. This was also missed, but Fuller, in his next over, bowled him off his pads. Mclntyre was bowled by Fuller in his next over, the ball •breaking well from the off. Beard and Alpe ■•were the next at the wickets, and by some •good play kept up their wickets until time -was called. The batting of Beard was good. He played one or two overs from Fuller very ■well, and with practice will make a first-class batsman, Fuller bowled very well, but was

unlucky. Alpe should have been caught by Ollivicr off the last ball delivered, but was let off. The following is the score.
