CRICKET.

ASSOCIATION v PAST AND PRESENT COLLEGE.

This match was oommenoed on Saturday last, and created a good deal of interest, as it brought into prominence several promising young oricketers. The College have been particularly suocessf utin all their matches this year, and, therefore, this fixture was looked forward to with more than ordinary interest. Tho afternoon was certainly not a favorable one for the game, as a strong north-west wind prevailed, whioh was very detrimental to the College, who lost the toss and had to take the field.

' The first to represent the Association were Messrs Seoretan and Fowke, but the latter was neatly caught in Bowen's first over—one for 3. Watson joined his captain, and after playing a ball uncomfortably high near short-leg settled down to steady play, and runs soon came • freely, Secretan doing most of the scoring at this, stage of the game. Soon after 20 appeared on the telegraph. Chapman relieved Bowen without stopping the runs, so he handed the ball to Cotterill, and Beswick gave place to Harold Mathias. Still the runs came, although the fielding, was .excellent. After a few more changes in the bowling, Bea wick took the ball at the southern end and Ollivier fielded very close in at mid-off, about half way between the wickets. The first ball after this change in the field Watson drove tho ball hard into him, but he failed to hold it. Two singles were obtained off the next two balls, and then Watson again drove the ball hard into Ollivier—a fatal mistake. Two for 119, of which the retiring batsman made 55 by three 4's, five 3 s, eight 2's, &o. He played in good form, and did not give a ohance until those mentioned above. Ashby filled the vacancy, but in hitting to leg sent the ball high in the air, and was well caught by the short Btop. After another single Seoretan made a grand off-drive, but W. J. Cotterill made a magnificent catch just off the ground with his right hand, and the batsman had to retire for a fine innings of 62, made in good style, his cutting being especially fine. Five 4's, three 3's, and nine 2's were the result of his principal hits. E. O. J. Stevens was unfortunately bowled off his pads before he had scored—five for 126. A better stand was made between Messrs Corfe and Wilding, and it was not until the score had reached 162 that W. J. Cotterill made another grand catch with his left hand. W. Frith was easily caught by Helmore, and Corfe played a ball hard on to his pad, which rebounded and just rolled hard enough into his wicket to Knock the bail off—seven and eight for 171. E. T. A. Fuller was well oaught by W. J. Cotterell, who had now made three very fine catches. H. V. Anson made 7, when he was bowled by Beswick, leaving 0. Frith to carry his bat, with the total at 185. The fielding of the Fast and Present was good all through, but W. J. Cotterill is worthy of special mention, not only on account of his splendid catches, but also for his general fielding. The light when the College commenced their innings was not at all good, especially at the lower wicket, where the shadows interfered greatly with the batsmen. Messrs J. Hartland and Ollivier first faced the bowling of Messrs C. Frith, and Fuller. Three good drives by Ollivier produced 9 runs, when the batsman was oaught at point off an easy one. Messrs Beeves and Hartland both left in the next over from Frith, the former being well taken at the wicket by Fowke. W. J. Cotterill failed to stop his first from Fuller. Four for 18, a very discouraging commencement. Harold Mathias played in good style, but played too late at one from Fuller after putting together 11. The next three wickets fell quiokly, but E. J. Cotterill and A. Chapman played out time, the soore being 63 for eight wickets, Cotterill being not out for 33. He is said to have knocked down his wicket in making his last hit, but the umpires did not observe it, so he reoeived the benefit of .the doubt. The oatohes whioh disposed of Messrs Hugh Mathias and Helmore were very good. The match will be continued on Saturday next. Tho following is the soore : ASSOCIATION. First Innings. H. H.

This match was played on Saturday last, and being only a one day's match, was decided on the first innings in favor of the Christchurch Club by 14 runs. Only seven of the 0.0.0. men turned up, and they had to play the match with one man short. In the batting, Turner showed the best form, obtaining 17 and 18 not out. Caygill and Forsyth also playing well for 11 and 10 not out respectively. Wagstaff was most successful in the bowling, getting six wickets for 13 runs. For the College, Lee was the highest scorer with 13, not out, and Harman bowled well, obtaining five wickets for 20 runs. The fielding of the 0.0.0. men was good, but that of the College was rather below their usua! form. The latter team was considerably weakened through several of their best men playing in the Association match. The following are the scores in the first innings : c.c c.

C. Strange, 26, and A. MoOormick, 18, batted well for the Addington Club, the former, especially, showing fine hitting power, combined with a good defence. For the Bohemians, Wood, 7, was top scorer. The bowling E, Turner and C. Strange for Addington

it I was very good; the former, who is quite a at | young player, getting five wiokets for 14 runs, le { and the latter three for 10. J. Fisher, for it the Bohemians, also bowled well. The scores it were :—Addington, 62; Bohemians, 45. d Tho match between the Press 0.0, and the ir Sydenham C.C. was played on Saturday on is the ground of the latter. The Frees was it under the disadvantage of playing two men 0 short. The result was a deoidad viotory for 1, the Sydenham by 78 runs on the first innings, a For the Sydenham C.C, Bound made 28, i- Fisher 23, Matson 17 and Chambers 12. G-rey e was the only one to reach double figures for s the Press, making 10. The ground was Tery s bumpy, consequently the fielding was loose 1 on both sides. A match was played on Saturday between the Sandridge CO. and the seoand eleven of the Press CO., whioh resulted in a viotory for the Press by an nnings and 35 runs. Mc* Oleary 24 and Elvines 23 were the highest ; soorers for the Frees, while none of the Sandridge team reached double figures. The r bowling of Board and Allardyce was very . destructive to the Sandridge wiokets, while \ Aden took nearly all the wickets for the \ Sandridge CO. , A match was played on Saturday last . between the St. Andrew's and Addington Cricket Clubs, and resulted in an easy victory j for St. Andrew'a by six wiokets on the first innings. The scores were:—Addington, 92, and St. Andrew's, 94, with the lobs of four wickets. For Addington: Hooper, 18; Olarkson, 13; and Wells, 10. For St. Andrew's: W. Ogior, 42 (not out), played a very good innings for his score; W. Napier, 10 (not out) ; Atkinson, 15 ; and Cusaok, 16, were the chief soorers. For Addington, Hooper bowled well, and J. Atkinson bowled splendidly, taking no lees than nine wickets for St. Andrew's. A match was played on Saturday between elevens of the Avonville and Kaiapoi Clubs on the ground of the latter. The mat oh was over in the afternoon early, and resulted in an easy win for the visitors by several wiokets. The ground was in a very dusty state, and hardly fit for a match.
