CRICKET.

TEMUKA V. TIMARU A. These teams met at Temaka on Thursday, the day being a perfect one for cricket. Dann won the toss, and elected to send his team to the field. .Low andVelvin bowled for Temaka with great success, none of the Timaru men getting into double figures. The fieldsmen worked well, and took all the chances which were given, Velvin making two very smart catches at slip. The innings closed for the small score of 25 runs. Schofield and Wicksteed were put on to bowl for Timaru, Low and Gillespie batting first for Temuka. When the score had reached 8 runs, the former was beaten by a break from Wicksteed. Holwell, next man, played carefully until he put his knee in the road. 22 up. Hawkes then kept the score going until 42, when he was caught. An adjournment was now made to partake of afternoon tea kindly provided by Miss Brown and her sisters. On resuming, Ferguson went in, and shortly put up a catch to Curtis, who was then bowling. 50 up. Dann followed, and Gillespie, who had half the runs on the score sheet to his credit, began to put on the wood. Both players were severe on the loose balls, which were plentiful, and the score mounted rapidly, the former player at last being caught behind the wickets. 105 up. McLean followed,and another good stand was made, Gillespie still doing his share of run getting. The latter was finally dismissed by being caught by Wood,with 68runs to his credit made by good cricket, only one chance being given. 140 up. Anderson, next man, was caught before he got into double figures. 153 up. Wills followed, and left without scoring. 155 up. Velvin came in and lost McLean, who had played well for his score. 158 up. Brown last man, did not get a chance to score, Velvin being bowled. 167 up. Wicksteed, Hassell and Curtis did best of the bowling for Timaru. The fielding was not up to the mark, the ball not being picked up well, and wildly returned to the wickets. Overthrows also were frequent. The following are the scores:— Timaru.
