Bardsley soon got to work, bringing the century up with two successive boundary hits. Kelleway also hit a boundary, but with the score at 110 he was caught by Holland for a well-played 27. Smith filled the vacancy. Chiefly through Bardsley's efforts the score reached 128, when the left-hander skied one, which Holland held.-128-B—7. Mayne followed, but Smith hit one to H. Cave, which was accepted.— 128—9 who mis-hit Holland to Howard, the innings closing for 130. Wan'ganui then commenced their second innings sending in Butterworth and H. B.

The fifteenth annual representative match between the primary scho us of Wellington and the Wairarapa schools took place on Saturday, on the Masterton school recreation ground, and in a win for Wairarapa by 38 runs The wicket was good, and was evidence of Mr Jackson's efforts to make the match as enjoyable as possible. W. Hoar, who captained the local eleven, won the toss, and electing to bat, opened with Dudson and Harding. Play was very slow till Beard and Miller were associated, the partnership ending with the score at 61. Wairarapa's first innings eventually closed for 85, Beard, who batted well being responsible for a nicely compiled 26, Perry 14 and G. Miller 14 also batting well. Donaldson, with 4 for 14, and Mabin 3 for 24, trundled best for their side. The Wellington boys in their first innings were responsible for 77 before the last wicket fell Mabin was top scorer, his 21 not out being obtained by sound cricket, his drives being nicely timed and executed. Anderson 13, Fauvell 10, and Temperton 10, also reached double figures. Hoar and Beard bowled best for Wairarapa, taking four and three wickets respectively. Wairarapa made a poor start, having 4 down for 24, but by careful play the innings closed with the scor3 at 61. Forman 12 and Harding 11 were the only batsmen to reach double figures Anderson was by far the best Wellington bowler in this innings, his analysis reading 5 for 3. Three of his wickets were obtained in his first over. Mabin 3 for 16 also bowled well. In the Wellington second innings the batsmen went all to pieces, and their eleven men only produced 31 run.4. To the exceptionally fine bowling of Beard, owe the match, his analysis reading 8 overs, 6 maidens, 4 runs, 6 Wickets. Miller and Hoar also bowled vsell for Wairarapa. In fielding honours rested with Wellington in the first innings, but the Warirarapa boys livened up considerably in the second spell, and materially helped to keep the score down. The scores are : WAIRARAPA. First Innings. j

SATURDAY CHAMPIONSHIP. CARLTON v. CARTERTON. , The unfinished match Carlton v. Carterton was concluded on the Park Oval on Saturday afternoon, in excellent weather. The wicket was in perfect run-getting order. Carterton had opened their second innings on the previous Saturday, and had 19 runs on the board without the loss of a wicket. The 71 runs required were compiled afteran hour and a bait's play, some very eareiul batting being witnessed. Tunnicliffe and S. Sievers were the not out men, but Sievers arrived late, and consequently had to forego his innings.

Hawke went to the wickets with Tunnicliffe. and the partnership brought the score to 36 before they were/separated. Tunnicliffe, who

was clean bowled by Moss, made 24 by good cricket. He made only two upish strokes while at the wickets, and in each case were high over the slips for four.'—36—2 —24. Prow joined Hawke, but runs came very slowly, as each man was playing carefully, taking no chances. In attempting a very short run, Prow met with the sam 3 fate as in the 6rst innngs, beng run out.—63—3—6. Hart filled the gap, Hawke, who was now beginning to score more freely, made 30 before he was bowled by Skelley. Having made the winning hit, he was unfortunate in being bowled with the last ball of the over. —93—4—30. The bowiing of the Carlton team was very good, as may be judged by the time occupied in viompiling the 71 runs. Moss bowled 78 balls for 18 runs, taking one wicket. Styles delivered 72 balls for 19 runs. Skelley secured the other wicket at a cost of
