CRICKET.

Oa Friday an .Association match of the Eleven v the next Fifteen was played on the Hiigley Part ground. This match was looked forward to with considerable interest, for, in view of the approaching fight with the All England team, it was felt desirable to see how our eleven would shape against the best fifteen that could be brought against them. The result of the game on Friday certainly showed that some of our leading players are sadly out of form, for the wiokota of the Eleven went down with a startling rapidity, and they were considerably beaten by their opponents, only scoring 68 sgaiust 194 made by the Fifteen. Indeed the good play lay certainly with the Fifteen, soma of whom showed excellent cricket, as the Eleven’s bowlers were well on the spot, especially Fuller, who trundled exceedingly well. The fielding of the Eleven also was well up to the mark. For the Fifteen Fairhurst and Chapman were never taken off, proving quite sufficient to dispose of the enemy. THE FIFTEEN.

The former proved too strong, making 181 in their first innings, while their opponents only succeeded in putting together 176 in both their innings. The principal scorers for the U. 0.0. were : W. Cotterill with 35, and E. B. Cox with 29 ; while J. Taylor made 31 for Lancaster Park. On the Midland ground an eleven of the Midland Club tried conclusions with the Lyttelton eleven. The strangers were rather roughly handled, being beaten in one innings and 189 runs to spare. The Lyttoltonians made 39 in their first innings and 80 in their second. The Midland, in their only innings, made 308. Of this large total Cohen made 71, W. Horner 22, Hargreaves 48, B.;ll 28 I Bailey 39 (not out), Dunbar 25, and Gee 19.
