NELSON V. MOTUEKA AND RIWAKA * The Lady Btrkly took over a goodly ] load of passm^ers io Mutiekaou Satur- ; day, tho CriekHt-matcii Hiai was to be played on that, <lay provin*/ ,-t great aurae- - tion to others besides tlie players. Ay the appointed time the wickets were pitched, ; aud the Nelson men were sent iv to the I bowling of Delaney and Askew, whose f well pitched balls proved most fatal to the ; Nelsou batsmen, who were dismissed with ' a total score of 53, of which 27 were . placed to the credit, of Wix. The Motu- \ eka men were still less fortunate, 42 being 1 the highest number that could lie obtained 2 by their eleven. Iv their seoond innings, ' Nelson was more fortuuate, aud with the assistance of Cross, who contributed 41, a total of 88 was ran up. Motueka then went to the wickets with 99 runs to makp, but were unable to obtain more than 66, to which the largest contributors were . Boyes aod Price, the former of whom scored 21, and the latter 13. The fielding • of the Nelson eleven is said to have been '' exceedingly loose aud careless, and to have exhibited a great want of combined > action, which is, no doubt, to be attributed ' to tha small amount of time ilevoted to practice.
