CRICKET.

The cricket season, which has commenced unusually early this year, was opened at Motueka on Saturday last by a match between the married and single members of the club, in which the former appear to have got the best of it, although, owing to the night closing in before it was finished, the game was declared to have been a drawn one. Among the married eleven there appears the name of a Maori, who, in his second innings, seems to have rather bothered the bowlers. The following is the score : — Married. 1 st innings. 2nd innings. Jackson, b Gresley' 4 c Bennie 10 WiUon, c 80yce.... 16 c Gresley 10 Delaney, c Luxton 3 c Boyce 16 Bisley, b Boyce , 3 c Cross 4 Hapuka, b Boyce 0 st Gresley 13 Parkes, run ont 1 c Bishop 4 Leech, b Gresley 1 c Saxon 4 Wise, not out 1 b Gresley 0 M'Nab, hit wicket 0 b Gresley 10 Talbot, b Gresley 4 st Gresley 2 Coppins, c Gresley 0 not out 0 Byes 4 10 Wides 5 3 No Balls 1 0 Totals 43 86 Grand Total, 129.
