SATURDAY COMPETITIONS. EGMONT VILLAGE v. UNITED SERVICE. The weather was not idea] for the game on Saturday. A cold wind traversed the South Road ground, where the above match was played. United Service had an easy win over their opponents, the scores reading, 170-82. The outstanding feature of the match, as will be seen from the scores below, was the compilation of most of the runs by two or three players on each side. Of the 82 which comprised Egraont Village's total, Inman (37) and 0. Kinsella (18) were - responsible for 55, while 9G by Bowles and 25 by Osborne went far towards the result. Bocock (10) and Sullivan (11) also reached double figures for United Service. The winners opened their innings disastrously, the first ball claiming a wicket, but the score had reached 73 before the second one was accounted for. Thereafter the score-book reads: 3 for 84, 4 for 104. 5 for 144, 6 for 145, 7 for 165, and 8 for 105, when stumps were drawn with two wickets in hand.

NEW PLYMOUTH v. INGLEWOOD. New Plymouth were no match for Inglewood on the tetter's ground, and suffered defeat by 67 runs, the totals reading 107-40. The sting was in Inglewood's tail, evidently. A wicket was got without a run, and six wickets were down'for 38. McCrae put up a good performance, being 33 not out, and with Thomas (21), Thompson (13) and 12 extras, accounted for 89 of the total. As an off-set, however, the act that New Plymouth hatted only nine men must be admitted. Arden and Johns (10 each) were the only ones to reach double figures. Three others made 17 between them, extras numbered 3, ana there were four "ducks." Kinsella's five wickets for eight runs was the most noticeable feature of the bowling. The following were the scores:— INGLEWOOD. Kinsella, c and b Goddard 2 Pullen, c Weston, b Williams 0 W.

NOTES. Vogler, the champion South African "googlie" howler, is credited with having perfect control over the ball, and he may spring some surprises before the tour is over. It is agreed that the best way to combat the "googlie" is to be aggressive —to go out and hit at the pitch of the ball. Stay-at-home tactics are regarded as fatal. , The Australians stayed at home when Bosanquet garnered his harvest. They will certainly have to change their methods to stave off the South African attack. Frank Tredale, who has been identified with the game for many years he played with the first test in 1894—made his first appearance this season for Gordon, and it was a notable one. Out of a total of 275 he was responsible for 113 runs in 125 minutes. After a quiet opening he warmed up, and many strokes were brought into operation. He 'hit 17 fours. Twice he was lucky. First he was missed in the slips, and then his stumps were hit, but the hails were not shifted.
