A meeting of the Management Committee of the Wairarapa Cricket Association is to be held at 8 p.m. on Saturday next, to make arrangements to secure another wicket for the junior matches, rendered necessary by the increased number of teams entered for this competition. A match was played yesterday between teams representing S. Matthew's Club and Mt. Bruce Club. The cricket was of a very poor classs. Mt. Bruce made 29 in their first innin~s (E. Johansan 8 being top scorer). Berry took 6 wickets for 10, Wilkie 3 for 13 and Sutton 1 for 1. Principally owing to bad judgment in utilising the bowling Mt. Bruce scored 60 in the second innings. L.
