CRICKET NOTES.

(By "Cover Point.") MASTERTON THURSDAY ASSO- i CIATION. HENDERSON GUP MATCHES. i The Masterton Thursday Aasocia-', tion's fixtures were commenced yesterday. The weather was t'.ireatening, though trie rain held ofr. Tt;e recent rain had made the pitches soft, and in consequences the bo.vler.-j had the advantage. ' CARLTON v. W.F.C.A. | Most interest was centred in the Carlton— W.F.C. A nutch. The latter Club had the strongest team that has represented them for some years, and it was anticipated that they would put up a good fight against last year's champions. However, Moss was on the "spot," and that spelt disaster to the W.F.C.A. W.F.C.A. won the toss, and Robertson and Swan were first at the ■wickets, Moss and Styles taking -charge of the bowling. A maiden over was recorded to Moss. Then Robertson got Styles away for 3 in the next over. Another maiden to Moss and then A. Hoar snapped up Swan off Styles. Moss' next over was a disastrous one for the batting team, Robertson, Welch and Congdon being pent back to the pavilion without any addition to the score. Hall and Rothenberg attempted to stop the rot, but at 14 Moss bowled Hall. Hyde joined Rothenberg, but the latter retired at 17. A. Caselberg and Hyde became associated, and mainly through the efforts of the former, who appeared to be the only one able to stand up to Moss, the score was taken to 24. The remaining three wickets only carried the score to 26, Caselberg being not out with six to his credit. Moss bowled excellently, and completely "tied up" the batsmen. He took six wickets for three runs. At one time his average was 5 for 2. Styles, too, bowled well, and took 3 for 19.

Carlton were first represented by Madsen and F. Welch, the bowling being in the hands of Hyde and Swan. . At 4 Madsen was neatly caught dy Caselberg off Swan. Voyce joined F. Welch, and 20 was up before the latter retired with «to his credit. A double change of bowling had been tried, and proved successful, Welch being bowled. A. Hoar joined Voyce, and the pair carried the score to 29 before Voyce was caught by Pragnell off R. Welch, after compiling 15 in good style. Hoar was joined by Moss, and the pair gave the field a lively time, and 40 was soon up, at which total Smith caught Moss off Congdon. Styles joined Hoar, but waa bowled by Hyde, with the score unaltered. Garley was next in, and the best partnership of the innings was witnessed. Hoar hit out, and in one over scored 10 (including a 6) off Hyde. Sixty-six was up before the partnership was dissolved, Carley being bowled by Hyde, after making nine by careful play. At 69 Hoar was smartly caught by Hyde. Hoar had made 28 by hard hitting, which included some nice strokes. He gave a couple of chances. \ "His score included three 3's, three i 2's and a 6. I

Hyde came out with the best bowling average taking five wickets for 30 runs. He bowled somewhat erratically at times, but improved towards the finish. R. Welch took 3 wickets for 14, and S2nt down some very fine balls. The following were the scores : W.ft&A, First Innings. Robertson, b R. Mds9 3 Swan, c A. Hoar, b A. Styles 0 Hall, b R.

Rivals and Carterton met on No. 2 wicket, and at tbe conclusion of the first innings the latter had a very substantial lead —in fact Rivals made -no stand whatever. However, the local men not only played a man short, ' but were also compelled to draw on substitutes to make up the ten members who went out to bat.
