CRICKET.

SENIOR MATCHES. PUBLIC SERVICE IN LEAD. Cricket at Feilding on Saturday was confined to two senior matches. On one pitch. Public Service were engaged with Old Boys, while on the other Colyton and Feilding met. The weather was fine and the Kowhai Park grounds were in excellent order, the pitches having been watered throughout the week. PUBLIC SERVICE v OLD BOYS. Public Service won the toss and elected to beat first in order to get benefit of the light. Hart and McLeod were the opening bats, the former securing 22 runs, while his partner was bowled by Dewe before he was ■ able to score. The next bat was W. H. Smith, who kept his wickets intact until he had knocked up the best scofc of the afternoon, Dewe bowling him at 78. Bennett contributed 35 runs to the aggregate score of 219, while of the other batsmen' the scores of Liddell (19), Drube (13), and A. C. Buist (17) were the best performances. James Dewe took 3 for 55, having accounted for Liddell in addition to his other achievements. S. Bramwell took 3 for 49, the credit for ' the dismissals of Bennett, Monteith, and Barltrop being attributed to his bowling. In reply Old Boys ‘ made a poor showing and at stumps had lost five wickets’ for 69. Watson and Bramwell opened, but the partnership resulted in

only 16 runs, both being accounted for by Barltrop. James Dewe (21) and Brock (10) wore both bowled by W. H. Smith. Details: — . PUBLIC SERVICE. First innings.

Whitehead (43), and Hocken (46), constituted the result of Colyton’s first, ings. Sinclair was run out, while Whitehead and Hocken were caught by Laing, the bowlers being Carter and Dunn respectively. Of the other Colyton men Linklater’s contribution of 9 runs was the best effort. Colyton played one man short. Dunn and Carter were the only successful bowlers, the former taking 3 for 22 ami the latter 5 for 29. Feilding’,s reply opened with Carter and M. Buist at the creases. _ Carter, who has several centuries to his credit this season, lost his wicket to Sinclair when he had knocked up 34 runs, and Buist, who usually plays a cautious bat, was run out at 22. A ball sent down by Power accounted for N. Fitzpatrick, who made 30, while Laing was bowled by Linklator at 14. Single figures were contributed by Dunn, who recently made over a century in a representative match against Manawatu B, and N. Donaldson, Kennedy, and Fisher. T. Donaldson, who was still in at close of play, made 23 and Dernier, also not out, made a single. Feilding’s total for 8 wickets was 170. Details: — COLYTON. . First Innings.
