CRICKET.

THAMES v. I ZINGAEI.

The above-mentioned cricket match was played at the Parawai Gardens to day. It is the first foreign match of the season. The team selected by the I ZiDgari Club arrived by the Eotomahana on Saturday night, and were met by a number of the Thames Club. They are:— Laird (captain), Webster, Lewis, Smith, Daniels, Dignan (2), Beale (2), Sender* dine, and Martin. A drag, hired by the local Club to take out the players to the scene of action, left the Bank Corner at 10 30. No time was lost in starting, and the Zingari captain, winning the toss, elected to take the field, Clark and Buchan going in to bat to the bowling of Beale and Lewis. Clark was the first to succumb, being caught, after making 5, by Martin, Egginton taking his place. Buchan managed to put 17 together before he was bowled by Beale; Smith came next, but his wicket was taken by the same bowler without his scoring. Lough then faced the bowling, but lost his tim« bers to Lewis for 0. Airey followed, but after making a Gouple was bowled by Beale. Maddern now went in, and cot a couple, when the bowling was changed, Laird taking the place of Lewis. Finding Laird doing no better, however, Lewis was put on again. Maddern, after making 13, was run out, and a short adjournment was made while a shower fell. On resuming, Harrison took Maddern's place. Egginton, a]l this time, was playing a steady game, and at one o'clock, when an adjournment was made for luncheon, the .Thames had 119 runs to their credit, for the loss of six wickets, and Egginton's score stood 37, not out.
