CRICKET.

WAIRARAPA V. MARLBOROUGH. MARLBOROUGH ALL OUT FOR 172. WAIRARAPA NINE WICKETS FOR 70 RUNS.

The representative match between Marlborough and Wairarapa was c immenced on the Park Oval yesterday afternoon, in perfect weather, and on an excellent wicket. The attendance of the general public was good. The. teams were as follows: Marlborough.—Pierpoint, Armstrong, M:lls (captain), Church, Chieholm, Martin, Hastilow, Cragg, Judd, Reid, Helton. J Wairarapa.—Smart, Styles, Prow, Logan (captain), Moorhouse, Moss, Madsen, Redmond, Sievers, MacKellar, and Voyce. Mills won the toss, and elected to bat, Pierpoint and Armstrong opening t) the bowling of Styles and Sievers. Armstrong was smartly taken in the slips by Moss off Sievers' second ball before a run was made. —o—l—o. Mills filled the gap. Pierpoint retired clean bowled by Sievers after he had made 7.—21—2—7. Church then went to t'->e wickefs, and a brisk partnership followed. Mills treated the onlookers to a good exhibition of cricket. He made 39 before Logan got a good one past him. An easy chance was missed off him when his score stood at five. The partnership carried the score to 76. —76—3—39. Church was joined by Chisholm, and the score was carried to 109, mainly by Church's efforts, before Uhisholm was caught in the long field by Styles off Prow. The retiring batsman had made eight runs by very steady cricket. —109 —4 —B. Martin joined Church, but in Sievers' next over, the latter hit up a hot one to Madsen at forward cover point, who made a brilliant right handed catcb. The retiring batsman had made the top score for his side by some pretty strokes all round the wicket. He gave an easy chance at ten, which was not accepted.— 113-5-48. Hastilow joined Martin, but was clean bowled by Sievers next ball.— 113-6—o. Cragg followed, but the next over Prow got a good one past him. — 116-7-0. Judd filled the gap, and treated the spectators to some biff hitting. He succeeded in hitting 20 off one over from Sievers. He did not stay long, being bowled in attempting to hit a "yorker"from Styles.-143—8—23. Reid joined Martin, who was smartly caught by Voyce off Moorhouse after making ten.--159—9—10. Hylton, the last man, went to the wickets but was run out after he made seven. The not out man, Reid, was playing steads cricket, and would probably have made a good score.—The innings closed for 172. The ground fielding of Wairarapa was a very poor display while no less : than six chances were missed. The [ fowling wan only fair, Sievers taking most of the wickets. Prow obtained ' two wickets at a cost of 19 runs. - Wairarapa opened with Smart and Styles to the bowling of Church and j Judd. Smart was clean bowled by ; Church's first ball, after he had made one run. —2—l—l Prow joined Styles, and a short j stand was made. Prow after making I seven runs was bov, by a good one from Judd.—23-2—7. j Monrhouse filled the gap, but was clean bowled by Church after one run had been added t, the score.— j 24-3—o. I Mos» joined Styles, the two play- j ing very steadily, until Styles was smartly caught in the slips by j Church off Judd The retiring bats- ! man had made twelve runs by very > steady cricket, getting in two very . nice strokes to 1eg.—25—4—12. Redmond joined Mos.-, and another short stand was made, bringing the j score to 42 before Moss was bowled ] by a beauty from Church —42—s—B. j The next two batsmen were quickly disposed of for one run each, the sixth and seventh wicket only putting on eight runs, due to some good strokes by Redmond. ) 'Logan filled the gap, only to see Redmond bowled by a "bailer" from Church.—s2—B-14. Madsen joined Logan, but the

latter was caught in the slips by Mills. —6B—9—3. Voyce joined Madsen, and the two played out time. Madsen had made 11 by brisk cricket, and Voyce 2. The bowling of the Marlborough team chiefly * accounted for Wairarapa's poor display. Church took six wickets for seventeen runs. The following are the scores:— MARLBOROUGH. First Innings. R.
