CRICKET.

The Shield match, Shannon v. Foxton, played at Shannon on Saturday, resulted in a very easy win for the home team. This was the second occasion on which these two teams have met this season, Foxton winning the first match by a narrow margin, but on Saturday the Shanuonites turned the tables in no uncertain manner. Tremewan won the toss from Cook, and sent Foxton in, Tullet and Mullins .opening to Randall and Doidge. A very poor start was made, Mullins being bowled in the second over, the score being 5. Bowe followed, and three runs later lost Tullett. Stiles followed, only to see Bowe play Randall on. Three wickets for 12. Whibley was next, and with the score at 20 Stiles was run out. Cook and Whibley took the score to 46, when the latter was caught near the boundary. The next four wickets only put on 14 runs, but a good start was made for the last wicket, Green and Hollingtou keeping the field fairly busy lor a little while, the score reaching 79 before Hollington was caught. Afternoon tea was partaken of, and Tremewan and Berquist commenced Shannon’s innings. With the score at 10, Tremewan was caught by Mullins off Young, and Foxton then considered their chances of success looked fairly rosy, as this player has for many years been one of the mainstays of the Shannon team, and on the last occasion when they played Foxton scored 44 runs. However, the batsman that took his place, J. Butterworth, proved a worthy successor, and before he was disposed of equalled his captain’s score at Foxton. The second and third wickets fell at 35, the fourth at 59, the fifth at 60, and the sixth at 76. Shannon at this stage only required four runs to win, and had four wickets in hand. When their score was passed Foxton went all to pieces, their fielding being very bad indeed, and a number of catches were dropped. The seventh wicket fell at 87. the eighth at 98, and the ninth at n 6. A splendid last wicket stand was made by Raudell and E. Butterworth, who collated the bowling and put on no less than 58 runs. Shannon’s total score was 174, against Foxton’s 79, a margin of 95. The following are the scores ; FOXTON.

Ever since the world began, man has been contriving instruments for the reproduction of sound. Nature’s sweetest music—the sighing of wind through reeds, the laughter of a brook, or the lapping of the waves, these have caused men to stop and ponder. We see the result in such instruments as the violin, the harp, the flute. But most effective of all perhaps, is the piano. Imprisoned within its four walls hide the magic works which breathe forth enchanting harmonies. Just to run one’s fingers along the keys of an instrument such as the Broadwood, the Ronisch, the Lipp or the Steinway, is a supreme delight. The Dresden Piano Co., Ltd., Wellington, who are agents for these, and indeed every instrument of high repute, will gladly tell you about their easy time-payment system, which makes it simple for everyone to possess this king of instruments—the piano.
