CRICKET.

MORRINSYILLE v. TE AROHA. ' The return match between the above Cricket Clubs took place in Mr Geo. Lipsey’s paddock on Saturday last. During the morning the weather was anything but promising, and freq lent . showers had a tendency to make the ground heavy.* However, the sun. came out and had a beneficial effect upon the pitch, and the latter half of the game was played in real cricketing weather.. There was a fair-sprinkling of spectators present, including a number of the fair stex, who appeared to evince great interest in the proceed- i ings. s Te Aroha went first to the wickets, and gave a very good account of themselves, making some 71 runs. Morrinsville followed, but it was soon ■ seen it-was not their day oiifc, the wickets fal'ing fast,, the innings clos- - ring for 42. i The following are the ':i scores * ■ - ,' Te Aroha. - pavitt, senr.., b Schofield ;• 17 Burlace c Schollutn b.
