C. 0.0. v U. 0.0.0. A match between the Ohriitohurch Club and an eleven o£ the U. 0.0.0. wae played on the College ground on Saturday last and the preceding Saturday. The 0.0.0. were the first to take the wickets, and made 94 in their first innings. Washer (not out) 31, Booth 24, and Ogier 15, being the principal scorers. Paul and McDowell bawled very fairlj, getting three wickets each. The wicket was bumpy and deceptive both to bowlers and batsmen. The U. 0.0.0. in their first innings made 103, of which Paul made 36 by good hard bitting, McFarlano 14, Meares 15, and Pixley 11. Booth, Fisher, and Marshall did most of the bowling, getting four, three, and two wickets respectively. On the second day the 0.0.0. went to the wickets about 2.30, and were not disposed of till time was nearly up, the total for the innings being 203. Oaygill made 64 in fine style. Washer and Wheatley played well for 46 and 21 respectively. The fielding was very loose, and many runs were obtained on that account. The bowlers were not very successful, owing to the roughness of the pitch. Oogan was most destructive, having four wickets to his credit. The match thus ended in a draw in favor of the 0.0.0.

On the previous Saturday the World had made 69, and New Zealand 104 for six wickets. Fowke, not out 40, and Fenwick, not out 4, resumed their places, to the bowling of Ashby and Fuller, but the former was caught and bowled by Ashby after adding 3 to his score, and E Million succumbed to a yorkor from Ashby, and as there were no more men to go in, Fenwick carried out his bat for 10, the total being 118 The chief features in the World’s second innings were Seoretan’s long score of 100 not out and Watson’s 47. Both batsmen punished the bowling of the yonng New Zealanders as it deserved, and being materially assisted by loose fielding, the score mounted quickly to 191, five wickets only having fallen. Mae Donnell was caught just at call of time, after making 22. The following is the score — THI WORLD. First Innings ... ... ... ... ... 69 Second Innings. H. H. Secretan, not ont ... ... ... 100 D.
