MAbTERTON v. .UNITED.

The United and Masterton teams commenced a Wairarapa Cricket Association match on the Park on Saturday afternoon under favourable weather conditions and on a good ■wicket. Masterton won the toss and Mackellar and Esson faced the bowling of Waters and'Congdon, thn former opening. At 8 Mackellar was bowled by Waters. Perry joined Esson, but with the total unchanged Waters brought off a magnificent one hand catch, disposing of Esson, who had scored 2. Redmond's advent to the wickets altered the appearance of the game, and that player commenced to hit the bowling abouFln a manner that delighted the spectators. Thirty-five was on the board before Perry, who hadjfailed to score, was out Ibw to Congdon. Bewiey joined Redmond, and 14 more runs were added to the score. Th*n Waters bowled Redmond with a splendid ball. Redmond, who made 38, gave a particularly attractive exhibition, getting in some nice leg hits. He got down to the bowling from,the jump, and infused ''life" into the play. Judging by the form shown by this player this season he (should score well. Mainly through the efforcs of Oldridge, who shaped well, the score was taken to 61 before Waters snapped up the new comer off Congdon. Rawson joined Bewley, and the best stand of the day was made. Both,players hammered away at the bowling in fine style, and the score quickly mounted to 125, at which total Rawson was beaten all the way by Waters. The outgoing batsman made 21 in good style, including some nice boundary hits. The remainder of the team stayed long enough to help Bewley to carry the score to 137, Bewley had 50 not out to his credit. He started somewhat shakily, but once he got into his stride he gave an exhibition that was indeed pleasing to watch, and which was of the utmost assistance to his side. I extena to this popular player my heartiest congratulations on his fine display. Waters was in grand form with the ball—in fact he bowled better than I have seen him do for a season or two. He kept a good length and mixed his bowling well. His average of 7 for 34 against a fine batting team like Masterton speaks for itself. Congdon, too, bowled well, but had a lot of hard luck. The fielding of the United team was good. Rothenbertr, Duggan, Waters and Jones all being tfoticeable at times for clean picking up and returning. Waters and Rotbenberg opened for United to the bowling of Rawson and Morris. Waters got to the bowling from the start, and was quickly in double figures. At 18 Morns brought about a separation by getting Rothenberg Ibw. Caselberg joined Waters, but five runs later Waters was run out after giving a free exhibition for 16. Caselberg was joined by O'L'eary, but the former was bowled by Rawson with the score unaltered. Duggan and O'Lsary infused more life into the play, and caused the fiel. 1 to spread out. The score had been doubled before Red-1 mond bowled Duggan off his pads. The latter played nicely for 8. '■ The remainder of the team with the exception of Jones, who played nicely for 11, did not materially increase, the score, the innings closing for 58. £ Redmond, who bowled so well. against Greytown, played havoc with the United batsmen, and came out : with the splendid average of 6 for 7. Masterton's fielding, like United'?, was crisp and clean. JpsterVni commenced their second innings disastrously, kt Esson (22) and Redmond (27) altered the cornplexion .of the game. Both these players gave good exhibitions.Esson tried a new game, playing steadily, and he was successful in the new style he adopted. The following were the scores: ' MASTERTON.
