WERAROA DEFEAT PARAPARAUMU. In the Horowhenua cricket competition on Saturday, the match on the Weraroa Reserve,' against the Paraparaumu team, was a gift to the Weraroa Club.

Runs were quickly compiled by the home team, and they declared at 136 for the loss of four wickets. The best tally was that of Bennett, w'hese 60 included seven fours. A good display was also made by Watts, who was not out at 32. In Paraparauinu's second innings, only five wickets fell, it being agreed to forfeit the remainder. The visiting players had arrived late in the first place; subsequently some of them went away from the field, and on their return the time limit had been, reached and it was decided not to apply for an extension. Weraroa thus had a three-point win by an innings and 67 runs. Their bowling figures ran high; O'Connor took five wickets for 23 and three for 6, and Bennett

captured four for 28. Following ara the individual scores: — PARAPARAUMU.—First Innings. Sweetman, b Bennett 1 H. Weggery, c Bull, b Bennett .. 6 M. Johnson, b 0 'Connor 2 C. Reeve, b Bennett 0 E.
