CRICKET.

TEMUKA F. TIMAIIU. A match between Elevens representing the Temuka and Timaru Union Clubs took place at Temuka last Thursday afternoon, play commencing about ten minutes past three. Mr Bryars captained the Temuka team, and Mr Robinson the Timaru. The visitors were first to bat, and managed to put together 119 runs before they were disposed of. The home team were not so successful, but they were not all out when time was called, so the match resulted in a draw much in favor of Timaru. The local Club will have to go in for hard and steady practice at once if they want to hold their own against outside Clubs this season.. The following are the scores;— Timaru.
