CRICKET.

TIMARU SECOND y. COLONIALS. The match between the second elevens of the Timaru and Colonial clubs came off on the Athletic Club’s grounds yesterday afternoon, and resulted in a very easy victory for the Timaru Club. When the telegraph recorded 128 their innings was declared closed, the men having completely collared the bowling of Allen, Bice, Bing, and Wake. The Colonials responded with the poor score of 24, Cornish with free play hitting into double figures. The game was fairly enjoyable, though the Timaru men thought it was hardly fair that some of their opponents should leave before the game had ended. The following are the scores : Timabit.

COUNTRY. The Town and Country match was played yojlerday at Tomuks, and resulted in a decisive win for the Country who put a very strong team into the field. The Town batted first, but began verj.fed l y n BayatOPd IfSS | almost immediately run out. Macintosh, Forry, and Fritt baited well for their runs, but of the- others ;Maicoimaoa was tbs only one to gee into double figures, sad the innings closed for the small tote lof 73 runs. Studholme,‘B'ish and Dignan, did trundling for the Country, and were in good form. The Country also began their innings very badly, Cayley and Fergusson being both disposed of during the first over. With the advent of Fish, Moore, and W. K. McDonald, however, the aspect of affairs soon changed, and the score began to mount rapidly. All three played very well, Moore’s hitting being particularly good, whilst McDonald got bis runs by steady patient cricket. At the call of time the Country were winners by 5 wickets and 43 runs.
