Tapanui v. Switzees.
(By our Special Reportetr)
The return match between the above clubs was played on the Tapanui cricket ground on Wednesday the 27th instant.
The Switzers team arrived overnight, and put in an appearance on the ground about 11 o'clock. The weather during the morning was ohreatening, and one or two slight showers fell, though not sufficient to stop the game. The wickets were pitched at 12 o'clock, and the captains of thg two teams tossed for choice of first innings. Mr. Garvey, of Switzars, won the toss, and he elected to send his opponents in first. Messrs. Monaghan and Perry were the first to handle the willow ; the latter gentleman beino; quickly clisposed of, after making 8 off thtee hits. Mr. Monaghan played a steady innings for 12. Messrs. CJtruth find Neville both got into double figures. Mr. Neville reaching the respectable total of 29, when he was caught by Horn. The score ran up to 106, when the last man, Strean, was bowled out by Mr. Home, whose bowling throughout the innings was very good,as was also Mr. Garvey's; but owing to the roughness of the field the fielding was not up to the mark, as the ball after touching the ground, broke a.vay in all directions amongst the tussocks. The Switzer's team went in about half-past two, to the bowling of Messrs Neville and Buchanan. Their stay was a very brief one, as they were all disposed of for the small total of 19 ; Mr Horn being ,the highest scorer with four runs to his credit. The Switzera eleven, after such an easy defeat, decided not to go in again ; the match was therefore decided in the one innings. The following were the scores :—: — TAPANUI. J.
