CRICKET MATCH.

[(JOUjrra fOATKO.] Flaw era, 28 ill Feb., 1877. A match between Ihe members of the jiawera-Wiuhi Cricket Club, resident at kiokoia and liawera (combined) against those resident in the immediate vicinity of Waihi, was played on tin; Waild ground on the 24th instant, and terminated favourably for the Waihi team. In the coarse of the remarks on the play ("which are so brief as to prevent a lengthy detail or an elaborate description) 1 cannot well omit a passing notice relative to the merits of the batsmen, whose batting was creditable to both tea; ms. For llawera, Messrs Helps and Inman scored 18 and ( .) respectively. The score of the former "comprising two or three brilliant hits. For Waihi, Messrs Jones and Johnston signalised themselves, the former scoring 20 (not out), and the latter 21. The style o'* the former was much admired by the spectators, who did not hdl io observe with what apparent facility he dismissed ('hough nut without several chances) the excellent bowling of Messrs .Cayley and Helps. With regard to Johnston's performance, j cannot commend it more highly iiie.n by staling that he played a long innings, during which time ho ran up a score of 21 runs, without giving a chance, but ho at lust suceumb-d to the hi ceding of .Cayley, be lining caught at i over : [mint by Liman. This catch is worthy of record, as it was to Inman’s left hand, and at some considerable distance off, consequently he had to run a owed distance, but succeeded m catching the bail when within a Jew inches of the ground, it will not be deemed superdnous to in serf, tlnifc, Mr Inman’s alacrity deserved ihe enthusiastic applause with which it was greeted as it was. one uf the best catches ewr witnessed on the Wa.ihi ground. Lysagiit also distinguished himself in the Held by eat el ling out I’idmiord at long leg.
