FOXTON C.C. v. CARNARVON C.C. The match between these clubs was played on Saturday last in Mr Elision's paddock, and resulted in a win for the local team by 18 runs on the first innings. The game would, perhaps, have been more enjoyable for the players as well fov the onlookers had there been less wind, and if in the afternoon the weather had notinrHed bitterly cold. In the early part of the game the umpires were kept busy replacing the bails again And again blown off the wickets until the happy thought of " soaping " them occurred to someone. This remedy proved effectual. Failing this, a disinterested spectator sug gested "glue"; but this heroic remedy was happily not required. The play on both tides, in ppite of nil drawbacks, was distinctly good. The fielding of the visitors all round «was certainly abovo the average, and the catch at long on by Mclntyre which disposed of Hinchlifto, captain of the Foxfcon team, was simply magnificient. The bowling of Askew for Carnarvon was both difficult to play and dangerous, almost every hall of his being dead on, while the •• underh»nd9 '• of Bowater were not to' be trifled with, On the Foxton Bidejihe honours of the day rested unmistakably with Ingram and Betty, in the batting line. Betty, going in first, carried out his bat, compiling a highly creditable fifteen by a careful of good sound cricket. TIiW cricketer is improving steadily and will always be a strong man in the team. Ingram ran up his 28 more rapidly by freo and vigorous hitting, and the success of the veteran was enthusiastically ap rplauded. Martin also astonished the natives more than a little by the dashing style in which he made things hum for his well-earned 19 ; and Hincbliffe'i 12 in the first inningi, bade up in about 8 minute?

of a four, 2 threes, and a two, was a pleasure to see. HinchliftVg bowling was also tlotideabl.f good; and Harrison with tho leather was in good form. Caklerwood behind the wickets proved himself no slouch, but towards the close of the game received a nasty injury to his thumb which obliged him to retire, his place however being well filled by Pudson who allowed nothing to pass him during his brief watch. Messrs Forster and Wrigley umpired for the respective teams and gave all satisfaction. We append the scores : — FOXTON— First innings. W. Ingram, b Askew ... ... 12 T. Betty, not out 15 F.
