TEMUKA. On Thursday afternoon a very pleasant game took place in Victoria Park between sides selected by Dr Cayley and A. G. Cox. A great deal of practice must be gene in for nightly before outside matches can be played. Considerable improvement has been made in the play of most of the members since last week, but the fielders gave the batsmen more lives than they ought to have done. DJR. CAYLEY’S TEAM.
