(By Telegraph-

PAJjMERSTON N., This Day. The uawke Oup match was concluded at: the Sportsgrotmd yester. day aftemoon, Manawatu heating Hawke's Bay "by an eight-wicket margin. The weather was delightiully fine and the wicket playing well hur the outfield was slow. Manawaru had established an 84run first-innings lead and hy dismissing Hawke's Bay for the comparativety small totaJ. of 144 the holders of the oup were left with the tass of getting 61 ruhs for victory. This they accomplished with the loss of iwo wicketa. | Hawke's Bay commenced their second jinnings laie on Saturday and at stumps |had lost one wicket for eight runs. Mahoney and Kauter continued yesjterday morning, but the former waa ibeaten by Pritchard with only one rnn jadded. Pritchard got O'Brien with his jnext ball, which O'Brien played on. With three down for nine the posijtion was not bright for the chailengers. iKauter, batting well, and Tom Reaney, iwho was also in good form, gave pro;mise of making a good stand but when |the total stood at 57, Murchison got lone past Kauter. Murchison then dismissed Tom IReaney with the last ball of his next jpver. It was another really good ball, Reaney had mada 27, including is six joE Gallichan, and .two fours. With live down for 57, the position (Was practioaily hopeless for the Bay, jand it was not improved when H. Jlieaney failed to stay. As in the hrst inniugs, however, Lamjhert was not perturbed, and he came' lout to play the outstanding knoek. Partjnered with. Phillips, he made a gallant J.eifort to stem tlie tide. Moloney and1 iGallichan had taken over the attack and McOai'thy, a left-hander, hookedGallichan for three to send 84 up, the> leeway having been made up. In the next over McCarthy hit a highi jpne past Murchison for f'our, running foi (10. in the same over he again hoohed: Moioney for four, sending 90 up. Oif the next ball Moloney tempted: McCarthy) who went out in the endeav* lour to kill the ball, missed and Norris h&d him stumped. The score was 92, and McCarthy, whoi had helped to add 26 runs for (the seventh wicket, had contributed 15, in-; cluding tWo fours and a three, Moloney had taken one for 10. ! Burns was tke incoming batsman and! Lambert drove Gallichan for two. Galli-i chan was getting plenty of ' ' nip ' ' oil ! the wicket.

Burns opened his account by sweeping a full toss from Moloney to leg, Moloney dropped the rest just short of the block and Burns was content to stop I them. ' OT the f ourth ball of Gallichan 's ;next over, Lambert scored a singie with !an easy shot towards cover, and reach!ed 20. Burns played out the over, Lambert hit Moloney to the Bame iplace for another singie. In the next over Gallichan tried to ,get Lambert tp have a go, Lambert obliged and after missing one, he hit anocnor one just out of Gallichan's reach. Lambert then had a look and decidcd •it would be risky to hook Moloney. "I'm going to hit," was written all over him and he jumped out and straight drove Moioney to the right of the sight ecreen to send 100 up in 132 minutes. Lambert was batting coniidently and ..very well and a singie ofE Gallichan to cover gave him top score — 28. With the batsmen going along too steadily, Pritchard came on in place of Moloney, bowling a maiden to Lambert.

The scoring was redjioed to an occasional singie and Lamber* reached 30 with one ofi: Pritchard on fha on side. Berquist took over from Galliclhan at the Esplanade cnd and the only run from the over was from a leg bye oT a ball wkich appeared to beat Lambert. Pritchard bowled the last over hefnre

ilunch. It was a maiden and Hawke's !Bay, with three wickets still in hand, had 111 on. Lambert 's total at that stage was 32 and Burns was three. The Aftemoon'B Play. When the game was resumod the opening bowlers were Murchison, from the Esplanade end, and Pritchard. Three runs came oif Murchison '3 iirst over and three oif his second. Lambert then drove Pritchard past. mid-olf for a brace. Both got Murchison awayi to leg for a singie in the next over and Hawke's Bay had 36 runs on. gallichan then took over at the town cnd, Burns, who had been watching them like a cat, cover driving the first ball for a singie. It was the only scoring shot in the over. Berquist, who had bowled five overs, three of which were maidens, for two runs, replaced Murchison. Bur*.s got his first ball away tlirough the covers for two. In the next over Lambert jumped out and had a whaclt at Gallichan. It was a spinning ball and he ditl nol -.properly conneet, slicing it away beyond point. They ran a eingle. Lambert reached 40 with a leg boundary shot oif Berquist and he turned another to fine leg for a brace. H6 r'epeated the stoke in the same over and tlio partnership had been worth 42. Hawko 's Bay had 5U runs on. Lambert was hitting a bit wildly, evidently after runs, and he was putting them into the air fairly near to waitin^ handi.

, Lambert whaeked Berquist to leg, (Teaching 50 in 08 mifiutes and 140 was signalled a moment later. Lambert Out. The third ball of Berquist 's next over .proved fatal to Lambert. He went for ,:a big hit but failed to get hold of the ;ball and Murchison, runnkm round behind the bowler, brought ofi a great catch as he fell. Lambert had hit three fours and the telegraph read 140 for eight wickets. The partnership had been worth 48 runs. Moloney took over from Berquist and he clean bowled Phillips with a spinner pitched well up. The telegraph read 143 — 9 — I. Gallichan .then clean bowled Northe with the last ball of the next over. The score was 144 and Manawatu rdquired ,to make 60 runs to retain the cup. The innings lasted 2^8 minutes. Manawatu 's Second Knock, Bobertson and McVicar began Manawatu ;s second innings at 2.46 p.in., the 1 bowlers being H. and T. Beaney and j three runs came of Tom Beaney 's first [ over. H. Beaney eet a leg trap for McVicar, jseven men being clustered round the j batsmen. The trap quietened both bats(men, and after a fairly good startj it |took 19 minutes to score 10 runs. Tom Beaney bowled three overs for six runs when he gave way jto Lambert. ; Bobertson chopped down on the first 'ball and hit the -second to leg for a singie. McVicar swept the next to fine leg for two. He hit the last ball to the on side for another brace and Manawatu required 45 runs to keep the cup. McVicar started to ignore Lambert 's leg trap and he hooked one for a brace and a second one for four to send 20 up in 27 minutes. Three singles were 6cored in the same over and McVicar 's contribution was 16. Nine came oif the over, but. H. Bea-ney, who had bowled six overs for five runs, was still keeping them very quiet, Kauter took ove*- from his skipper and his first ball went throiigh for two byes. Kauter beat McVicar iater in the over, but he also beat the wickets and ikeeper. H. Beaney was still working at his leg trap, but he fooled Bobertson with a short-pitehed one and Bobertson re- [ turhed him .the simplest of catck&s. The telegraph read 35—1—12 and Beaney 's wicket had cost seven runs. Moloney came in first wicket and he carefully played the rest of Beaney 's over. Moloney opened his account with a , hook shot to ithe leg boundary o2 Kauter- and 40 went up., McVicar rerached 20 by lifting one over Beaney 'a leg trap for two. With 13 runs still required for victory, Phillips took over from Kauter. In Beaney 's eleventk over he neariy managed .to get Moloney to tip oie into the leg trap. The ball dropped just out Df reach of the keeper, Geddes. McVicar sent 50 up with an uppish shot fhrough the slips. The innings had been m progress 54 minutes. lu the -next over McVicar lif ted one over the trap for two and, facing Phillips, Moloney, thanks to an overthrow, humped the total up another three. McVicar played the next over with

a dead bat and O'Brien went in at the town end. Moloney drove the last ball past mid-on for two and Manawatu required three runs to win. With two runs required for victory, McVicar failed to get oif the mark when Moloney started for a run following a hit to leg. Moloney hesitated and went on. The ball was returned to the keeper just as McVicar sportingly broko ground to pass Moloney. McVicar was ' out and ke made 26, including one four. The total was 59 and Gallichan was .the incoming batsman. Gallichan hit the winning run at 3,58 p.m., Manawatu having won the match by eight wickets.
