NOTES ON THE PLAY. | Dwver's innings of 20 for Rivals was a fine effort. He scored no less than five boundaries, and looked like putting up a big score when Madsen caught him off Moss. ; Waters played carefully for his 13. Styles bowled him with a beauty. Moss had another day 0..t in bowling, and captured 7 wickets for 23. None of the batsmen were comfortable while facing him. He got Lomas with the best ball of the day. Styles bowled well, but had no luck. Ball alter ball beat the batsmen and just skipped the wicket. Carlton fielded well, though the gr.und fielding at times was below ttieir usual standard. Carlton, on paper, were worth moT°. than 118 runs, but had the Rivals accepted all'.the chances the score would certainly been much below that total. Styles played pretty cricket for his 31, which included five 3's and two 4's. He was mi-ised by Waters when he had made 26. Eventually he was smartly stumped by Lomas. A Hoar, with 17, played a patiei.t innings. He gave a couple of chances, one to Waters and one to ■ Richards. | F. Welch played nicely for his 14 runs, getting several off balls nicely - away. J Madsen just got going when hewas run out, while Prow (12) was J also beginning to hit out, when I Richards neatly caught him off | Waters. j The best partnership of the innings j was between Hoar and Styles. They I took the score from 30 to 77i Both played carefully at first, and runs came very slowly, maiden overs j being the order of the play. After they had been associated some time they commenced to hit out. They ' gave three chances between them, , Waters missing each player in one over. Waters bowled splendidly all i through, and tied thf batsmen up. He only had thirteen singles and two ( 2's knocked off him in nineteen overs, and secured seven wickets. Young Barr too bowled well, but had hard luck. He secured 3 for 37. Morris (0 for 34) was erratic, while Dwyer and Edwards failed to secure a wicket, each having nine runs hit off of him. Kingdon effected a particularly smart catch when he disposed of Byrnes. He also caught Welch very neatly. At the present stage of the W.F.C. A.-Carterton match, the latter appear to have the game well in hand. The lacal team should have been able to have made more than 91. The howling was easy enough.

•"Qgier, who played his first- game 'for W.F.C.A., batted very nicely for :20 (not out), and while he and Prague! 1 were together Carterton had a lively time in the field. Ogier, instead of hitting out as is usual with bim, contented himself with playing " steadily, and had no difficulty in keeping his end up. Pragnell laid the wood on hard, •and ran up 20 in a very short time iby good cricket. (13), who was the only other double figure scorer, made his runs in good style, his leg hitting being very neat. Maunsell came out with the best average—viz., 7 for 40. When stumps were drawn for the day, Carterton had 151 up for the loss of 7 wickets. Feast played a splendid innings for 63, which included ten boundaries. Hutchinson's 32 was made by hard hitting. Phillips brought off thr;e splendid catches, disposing of Feast, Maunsell and Phelps. McGinnity, Swan . and Pragnell also made good catches.
