CRICKET.

CANTERBURY CRICKET ASSOCIATION v. OLD COLLEQ-E BOYS' ASSOCIATION. This match was played on Saturday last, and, being only a one-day's match, ended in a draw. The Old College Boys were first in the field, and, after the fall of the first few wickets, had a lively time of leather hunting. The fifth wicket fell for 45, but Wilson and McDonnell caused nearly forty runs to be added before the next (Wilson's) fell. His score of 18 was well put together, but he ought to have been run out twice; two 3's and four 2's were his best hits, but a graud shooter from Atack put an end to his career. Hunt continued the hitting until at last McDonnell hit a very moderate slow in a very moderate manner back to the bowler, who made a good catch. His 57 included a fine hit to leg with the wind for 6, four 4's, two 3's and nine 2's. Hunt, after playing a lively innings for 27, was caught off the slows. He made as,a 4, and four 3's. The innings closed at 5.30 p.m. for 101. The bowling was various, the best being Ataelc and Peter. The former bowled some very good overs, and the latter disposed of Alington and Allen by two splendid bailers. With as little delay as possible the Old Boys commenced their innings, but a drawn game was inevitable, as time did not permit of their getting the required runs. The first three wickets fell quickly for 12 runs, but with W. Cotterill and Ollivier affairs assumed a different aspect. Each over averaged about 5 runs, and at the call of time 6.15 p.m. the score had mounted up to 62 without tho loss of another wicket. W. Cotterill ought to have been caught twice and run out once in consequence of slipping down, but escaped on all occasions. Hi* 23 were made up by a 4, four 3's, a2 and singles, while Ollivier put together 29 by a 5, a 4, four 3's and singles. The game was therefore very even, the Old Boys ha\ing 103 to get to win with seven wickets to fall. The following are the scores : CANTERBURY CRICKET ASSOCIATION. Ist Innings. W. H.

Another beautiful day, but the attendance at the commencement was very scant. A little after noon saw every place filled, as at time being called last evening. C. Frith bowled the first over, Austin getting him away for 2to leg and a single to mid-on. He then faced Ashby, who had him lbw. 160— B—l 3. Rose came next, but lost his partner, who was clean bowled by a good one from Frith without any addition to his score of yesterday. Cargill plays with a very straight bat, and possesses any quantity of patience. 160—9 20. Glen commenced by hitting Frith to the on for 3. The ball, it may be said, pitched on the off stump. He then faced Ashby, and a greater run of hard luck no bowler ever had. First Glen played a ball hard on, but the bails would not fall. He then hit a good length ball on off stump to mid-on for 4. Ashby then shaved his off stump, his leg, and just over the bails, but the wicket seemed charmed. Rose in the meantime had been pottering about,, to Frith, putting him up all round the' wicket, but just out of reach. Fuller relieved Frith, and Glen got a couple to" the off J and by, to say the least of it, lucky play several singles, but in hitting at a half volley to the off. landed the ball in Austen's hancjs, and all were out for 185, leaving Canterbury 55 to get to win. Exactly the same number they had to obtain, against the AnstraUana. Ashby bowled the best, as will be seen by reference to the analysis. He bowled thv-eo wides, but that can hardly be put down as his fault, for a big hole where ho put his left foot made it almost impossible for him to stand. A long interval took place for luncheon, during which the wind became strong, blowing nearly across the wicket. Spectators wero obi when Ncilson and Godby went in, the latter taking ilrst oyer from Austin, whose third ball ho put away to cover point for a s.inglo, Glen took the ball at the other pud, and his third was, cut fine by Godby for 2. Neilsoii made his first score off Austin, sending him to square-leg for 3, following It by a single from Glen. A bye and a squareleg hit by Godby off Austin brought up 10. Alfew singles from each bowler, and a noball by Austin, and a nice cut by Neilson off the other bowler, caused 20 to appear. _ A few singles started the. next-10, after which Paramor relieved" Austin, both batsmen nialfhig a single off his first over. Glen was w«ll on the wicket, trundling four successive maidens. Paramos following suit with three. Godby started the run-getting again by a cut for 3 off Paramor, and Neilson snicked Glen in the next over for a single. Godby then hit him hard to square-leg, but it was well fielded by Crawshaw. Tho same batsman put Paramor very high to flcuarp-leg, bvvfc wobdejy being near a wore scored —80 up—and Jfei|son foliov/ed'nuit, but the ball ju.st hit tho top, of- the fenpe. relieved Glen, and caused a separation. Neilson, in hitting round at a leg ball, was caught at long stop. 35 —I—l 7.1 —17. Ashby joined Godby, and the }attor made a single off Dixon's last j he then

sent Paramor to square-leg out of bounds for 4, bringing 40 up. Again Paramor travelled, this time neatly cut for 3. Dixon bowled a wide, and each batsman scored a single. McNeill then took the ball from Paramor, and Ashby cutting his second hard, which Glen failed to stop, 4 resulted. 50 up. Ashby was again busy sending McNeill's next over the fence at square-leg f r another he could not get the winning hit, the next two balls being straight. Dixon essayed the task of lowering another wicket before tbe game was over, but found Qodby was not to be had, the first b 11 going to mid--o'i for a single, and the pame concluded, Canterbury being hailed victorious by nine wickrts. Di-ectly after the match Mr Fulton presented Moore with a bat for his 75, and Mr Leary, Mayor of Dunedin, followed with one to Clarke for tbe excellent batting he showed throughout his two innings. Comparing the number of rum for balls delivered shows that Canterbury's bowlers sent down 760 balls for 268 runs, whilst the same number wero got off 487 balls trundled by their opponents, the meritof which speaks for itself. The fielding of. our men was not quite up to the mark, except at longstop, which position Godby filled in a manner that could not have been excelled. Hartland could not field to-day, having hurt his hand on the previous day. His place was effectively filled by JViven, an Otugo colt, who I hear promises very well behind the sticks. In order to amuse the spectators some of the Canterbury Eleven again went in, Moore again coming out in great form, christening the new bit with 56 made in as many minutes. A parting glass of champagne at the Occidental closed proceedings. Most of the team return per Samson to Oamaru to-morrow, and on next day by train to Christchurch, The following are the full scores of the match:—
