This match took place on the Victoria Park yesterday, and resulted in a win on the ist innings for the Poxton representatives by 34 runs - Stiles won the toss from Clarke, the Shannon skipper, and elected to send Shannon to the wickets. ■ Berquist and W. Tremewan were the opening batsmen, and Dunn and Ashmore berng the opening bowlers. After Berquist had scored a single Dunn cleaned bowled him. W. Tremewan, a fine bat, had the misfortune to be run out when he had knocked up 7. Sharman and Quarry followed on, but did not trouble the bowlers much. Ashmore bowled Sharmen when he had made 3 and Quarry was caught off Dunn before he had scored. Clark and Smithson, the next two batsmen, were bbth caught off Dunn. Melville was caught and bowled by Ashmore without increasing the score. A. Tremewan followed and played for a carefully compiled 7 not out. Monteith was bowled by Dunn without scoring, ahd Hook, the last man, was bowled by Ashmore when he had made 3. The innings closed for the small total of 40 runs.- Woods and Cook -w6re the opening batsmen for Foxton, Sharman and Clark handling the ball. Woods fell a victim to Shar T man when he had made 9. Southern joined Cook and proved himself one of Foxion’s best batsmen, making 19' not out, Cook being bowled by Bercjuist when he had.'made; a dozen. The Foxton. skipper joined Southern and batted carefully till he was caught off Burquist for 8. Cunningham made a brace and was then caught off the same bowler, W. Bowe 1, and Dunn o, were bowled by Burquist, and Rough joined Southern and played a useiul and careful innings for five singles, when he was run out. Spiers was caught off Tremewan for one. Ashmore made four, when he was caught off the same bowler. Rand knocked two and was run out, the innings closing for 74. Shannon’s second innings was a really good display of cricket, W. Tremewan shewing fine form with the bat, playing anything on the wiciket carefully, and punishing any of the loose stuff. His brother also played a fine innings for 14. W. Tremewan was caught and bowled by Cunningham, and R. Tremewan was caught otf Rough. Clark also scored a very useful dozen. When six of the Shannon wickets had the fine total of 89, the Shannon skipper wisely declared his innings closed at 5.50, trusting to his bowlers to dispose of the Foxton team within the 40 minutes left for play, but though Shannon managed to dispose of seven of the Foxton men for the small total of 22, they failed to win. The game from all points was a very successful and pleasant one. The visitors were entertained by the local team at dinner, and the following ladies kindly dispensed afternoon tea: Mesdames Woods, Hamer and Styles, and Misses Hamer and Speirs. The Foxton team is now looking forwaad to a return match, and an endeavour is to be made to send a team to Shannon at an early date.
