CHAMPIONSHIP MATCHES.

The Wanderers and Inglewood seniors met at the Kecreation Grounds yesterday afternoon. Wanderers! spent a couple of hours at the wickets, and a most uninteresting display of batting resulted in a total score of 145 runs. The Inglewood team had lost live wickets for 57 when stumps were drawn. The last halfhour's .batting was in a wretched light. The biggest score of the day was Jack's 49. Hia sound judgment and good scoring strokes came in very useful, for .matters didn't look promising for the town team when he went in. Nicoll also batted well for 24. Clegg, 20 not out, was the batsman for Inglewood. The veteran Gudgeon made his reappearance, bowling for the first time this' season. He bothered the batsmen a good deal, but bowled all round and above t*e wicket, very erratically. The scores are, as folow:—■
