lucky.

Crombie, the bright particular star of the East B batsmen, was in splendid form on Saturday, says the Dominion. This was fortunate, for without his aia the team he leads would have been utterly extinguished. Good as his work has been thus far, there is every reason to 'believe that Crombie will obtain much better form as time goes on. His hitting is sensational at times, and works the spectators to a pitch of enthusiasm, but he has rather a habit of giving chances at both long and short range. Possibly the comparatively poor standard of fielding that obtains in Wellington is in part responsible for his occasional carelessness in this particular. On Saturday he gave few chamcs of a catch, but twice was within an pee of being run out. He fell a victim finally to his penchant for a lofty drive. It payfe to station a good man or two in the outfield when Crombie is at the wickets. V J—f" ,1H
