The local paper says that the stewards of the Wairarapa Jockey Club having finished taking all the evidence available in the Korari-Fish-hook case, have convened a meeting of the members of the club generally for Wednesday evening next to consider it. We believe the evidence of the different witnesses examined is very conflicting, and that the club will have no easy task in deciding upon the statements which will be laid before it. We learn by telegraph from Dunedin that an attempt has been made to injure Yeend’s horses King Philip and Rory O’More, engaged in the Dunedin Cup. Yeend’s stable is on° the Swamp-road, and the gate through which he takes his horses on to the training ground is the only one at present used by the trainers. The ditch is crossed by a bridge formed by open rails. Mr. Yeend was taking the two Cup horses out to exercise, and on stepping, on ta the. bridge one of the rails snapped in two. It was found to have been cruelly chiselled almost entirely through. The horses were not hurt. CRICKET. LEX v. COLTS. On Saturday a match was played on the Basin Reserve between the above-named clubs, and resulted in an easy win for- the former. The Lex Club made an unusually low score, 39, and it does not speak well for the fielding of the Colts Club that 14 of these were-made by byes, &c. In batting, too, the Colts made a very poor show, only scoring 17 ; in fact, the only redeeming feature of their play was the excellent bowling of Blackloek. He has good pitch and pace, and uses judgment in his work. On the whole, he is one of the most promising bowlers in Wellington. It seems rather unsatisfactory that these matches between the various clubs should be decided on the first innings so frequently ; it would be much better to play them out, even if another Saturday afternoon were taken up, and this suggests

the idea that it would much improve cricket if a series of cup matches was inaugurated. We have now the Wellington, Star, Victoria, Lex, and Colts Clubs, together with outsiders such as the Karori and Hutt Clubs, so that a contest might very well be The public would take much more in the matches, and clubs would practise more, in order to get together a decent eleven. It may be too late to put the thing in swing this season, but arrangements might be made for cup matches next year.

RISING STAR. A. match was played on Saturday afternoon between the Rising Star C.C. and Government Printing Office elevens, and resulted in a victory for the Government Printing Office representatives. Time being called before the second innings was finished, the game was decided by the first. The following are the

THE CIVIL SERVICE MATCH. The match between an eleven chosen from the Public "Works Department against a combined team from other departments, took place on Tuesday, and resulted in a very easy oneinnings victory for the Public Works. Play was commenced between 11 and 12 o'clock, and before 1 o'clock the combined team were all out for a score of 55, of which but thirtysix were made off the bat. The bowling of Knapp and Armitage was much too good for the batsmen. All they could do was to sneak one or two now and then, and content themselves with merely defending their wickets. Where the player had not mastered the science of blocking, he slogged wildly, and as a result his timbers were very soon shivered, either by an insinuator from Knapp or a shooter from Armitage. Marchant was very unlucky, being caught before he had a chance to settle himself at the wicket. There were very few hard hits made, so that the fielding forward of the wicket was not very sorely tried, but behind the fields were called upon for a little work, and, as the number of byes testifies, did not get through it very creditably. Evans and Vincent were the first pair

to represent tlie Public Works at the wickets, and Marchant and J. Kennedy went on with the trundling. Neither were effective bowlers, and the batsmen getting nicely into their work, put together a little more than half the score of their opponents before a separation took place, owing to Vincent losing bis wicket. Kennedy took it by a happy ruse. All along he had been bowling a medium pace, but this ball was a dead slow. Vincent was sorely puzzled; he half poked and half struck at it, and then had the mortification of seeing it slowly roll in and disarrange his stumps. Sullivan filled the breach, but was soon bowled, and then Knapp took up a position at the wickets, and maintained his post for a couple of hours, being at last bowled by Kennedy for the excellent score of 77. Evans played a fine game, and Armitage, St. George, Werry, and Howard in their turn kept the field on the run. Everyone had a turn at the crease, but the score kept mounting up till tlie last wicket fell for the fine score of 199. The fielding during the innings was on the whole good, though a trifling loose towards the last, but this was perhaps excusable under the dispiriting circumstances. Marchant distinguished himself at his old place, slip, by magnificently catching Evans, but several o£ the batsmen received “lives” from other fields. The “ big ” bit of the game was one made by Werry, who lifted a ball over the ditch, and to within a few feet of the eastern boundary fence. In their second innings the combined team were less successful than in their first. 43 The weather being fine, a very pleasant day was spent, and members of both teams have certainly reason to be thankful to Mr. Knowles and the heads of the other departments who made arrangements for the holiday.

Annexed are the full scores made by the Wellington team in the contests against Dunedin. At first it was not thought advisable to publish the scores till the result of the firing of their opponents was known, and, therefore, we withheld them, but as the scores have become partially known, there is no necessity to avoid full publicity any longer : DUNEDIN MATCH.

As stated in a previous issue, the Dunedin men are to fire to-day. The Invercargill men have fired, and made a poor score. In forwarding the result of the firing they stated that the weather had been very wet and unsuitable, and therefore they requested to be allowed to fire again. This request was considered by the Wellington battery, and then referred to the members of the team, who object to accede to the request. They pointed out that when they had bad weather to contend against in the match with Dunedin, they accepted their score as final, and there-

fore considered other teams should do the same. While declining to comply with the request, they would be very willing to afford the Invercargill men the opportunity of regaining their lost laurels in a return match. During the past week an interesting rifle match has been going on among the Volunteer cadets in Wellington. The firing took place tinder the personal supervision of Colonel Header and Captain Crowe, and, as will be noticed by the annexed list, the fifteen prizes were won with highly satisfactory scores, and several of the competitors give promise of becoming good marksmen : Corporal Howe, Rifle Cadets .. .. • - 67 Sergeant Ballinger, Te Aro Rifle Cadets.. .. 67 Lieutenant Brandon, College Cadets .. • • 63 Cadet Stewart, C., Te Aro School Cadets .. • • 62 Corporal Rigg, Rifle Cadets 60 Sergeant-Major Fraser, A,V.

A series of matches between members of the Rifle Association took place at the Dower Hutt rifle range on Monday. It had been arranged that firing should commence at eight o’clock, but owing to the first train starting at 7.30 the proceedings were not commenced until an hour later. The weather was favorable, but might have been more so. For. a pleasure trip nothing finer or more genial could have been desired, but for rifle shooting at targets there were certain important disadvantages, which told very much against the shooting generally. In the first place, the sun was too powerful, and as its rays fell full upon the faces of the targets, the effect was dazzling and deceptive to the eyes ; in the second place, a changeable breeze arose when the men had got about halfway through the second match, and gradually increased in strength and unsteadiness. When these circumstances are taken into consideration, the fact of the shooting in the first match not being of a very brilliant character will not cause much wonder, particularly to those who understand the subject and consequently take an interest in such records as this. There were representatives of the following corps in the matches :—The Armed Constabulary, Wellington Artillery, Wellington City Rifles, Kaiwarra Rifles, Pahautanui Rifles, Wainuiomata, and Makara Volunteers. In addition to the above there were three civilian competitors. The men were divided into two squads, both under command of Captain Crowe ; Captain Thompson, of the Kaiwarra Rifles and Secretary to the Association, being present also. FIRST MATCH. The following is a list of the scores in the first match. Ranges, 200 and 300 yards ; seven shots at each range. Position any :

THE SECOND MATCH Was the great event of the day, as it was for a prize well worth the winning, namely, a silver cup valued at twenty-two guineas, and bought by the Association for the purpose of giving it to the man who shall win it twice in such matches. It has already been won a first time by a number of members. Pour of them were on the ground yesterday ; and in accordance with the conditions imposed by the society, any of that number making the top score in this particular contest would have become the permanent owner of the valuable prize. As will be seen from the appended scores, firing at these ranges was inferior, chiefly owing, we believe, to the unfavorable circumstances referred to in the introduction to this report. At the 600yds. range misses were the rule rather than the exception. The following are the scores :
