CRICKET.

TEMUKA V. COLONIAL. On Thursday, after several failures, the Temuka Club managed to get a team together to play their first foreign match this season. The local men were fir&t to bat, Dignan. and Mendelson going out to face the bowlers. The latter player soon lifted a soft one into the hands of Pritchard, which was not refused. Cutten then came in and took the rest of the over, and Dignan was then bowled, and gave up hia bat to Brown. Cutten was the next victim stumped by Boys. Dann then toed the mark, and assisted Brown to put a few runs on the score sheet. Brown now left to seek the shade of the pavilion, and was followed by Farnie, who soon saw Dann out, Hayhurst succeeded him, and knocked up 8 runs instanter, but was caught and bowled by Thompson through over anxiety to score. He was soon followed out by Farnie. The next four men managed one run between them, the innings closing for the small score of 26. After a short interval the Colonials sent in Jones and Grey to bat, the former player putting together a score of 11 singles, his partner after a few balls falling a victim to Dignan. The only other player in the team who reached double figures was Pritchard with 12. The team did not show much batting power, although they were Teported to have had a lot of practice this season, Dignan proving too much for most of them ; Hayhurst was off in his bowling which is the exception with him, or thenscore would hardly have beaten that of Temuka. The local team then went iu for their second innings, and managed to do a bit better than befox'e, Buxton -"~S with 19 and Brown 15 being responsible far most of the runs. The innings closed just on 6 o'clock, the time which had been arranged for drawing stumps. Want of practice, no doubt, is accountable for the small score made bjr the Temuka men, several of them having a bat in their hands on Thursday for the first time this season. The following are the scores :

The match, Geraldine Rifles v. Civilians, did not come off on Thursday afternoon, owing to several players not being aide to'attencj.
