CRICKET.

NORTH V. SOUTH ISLAND. SATURDAY'S PLAY. By Telegraph. —Pres* Association Christchurch, Last Night. On the resumption of the inter-island match the weather was fine and the attendance fair, but the takings so far fall short of the amount required to save the New Zealand Cricket Council from a loss on the match. The wicket played well, but showed evidence of v. _.>ring. North had eight wickets down for 130, but a great ninth wicket partnership between Allcott and Barclay put on 113 and turned the scale-greatly in North’s favor. South Island's second innings was intensely disappointing, Blunt and Patrick saving it from being a ghastly procession. Scores: — SOUTH ISLAND. First Innings 169 NORTH ISLAND. First Innings.

FOR DOMINION PLAYERS. Christchurch, March 11. While the inter-island teams were at luncheon to-day, Mr. E. Heathcote Williams, president of the New Zealand Cricket Association, proposed the health of the rival cap"Cricket is improving in New Zealand,” said Mr. Williams, “and the Cricket Council has in hand an extensive programme. An Australian team will visit New Zealand next season, and if we can arrange finances, a New Zealand team will go to England later on, playing other countries on its way back. That team might be able to play matches in Australia. It Is probable that many of the players at Lancaster Park to-day will be members of the team, but, whether they are or not, I hope they will see that all the boys coming on get plenty of incentive to improvfe their game. I assure those players who go to England that they will get a welcome that will astonish them.”

Replying, Mr. Patrick sjifid he would like to see more of these North v. South matches, and he suggested that one should be held in the year when the southern teams were touring the North Island and the next in the year when the northern teams were in the South Island. That would save travelling expenses. HIGH SCHOOL v. WANGANUI COLLEGE. GOOD WIN FOR NEW PLYMOUTH. Wanganui, March 11.
