Harman 16, Cocks 13, and Cox 11. Papanui succeeded in mtting together 107, principally owing to the exertions of Barnes and the Horner family, G. Horner, a youthful scion from a good cricketing stock, making 25 (not out) in excellent style, whilst his still younger brother, P. Horner, kept up his wicket as last man. The principal scores for Papanui were—Barnes 31, J. Horner 12, and G. Horner 25. The match will be continued next Saturday.

overs. LANCASTER PARK JUNIORS v CATHEDRAL C.C.
