BRISBANE, December 3. There was an attendance of 10,000 to witness the continuation of the M.CO.-Queensland match-. England gave a splendid defensive display.

Queensland opened their second innings confidently, seoning freely. .Jennings was caught off a "no ball" in the early part of fliis innings. The fielding and bowling were sound. Scores —

It was generally expected tthat on Saturday Mastenon juniors would put down Carlton by an innings and a. good few runs to spare. Instead, they only managed to carry off the victory by some VJ runs. In fact, Carlton 'had the .best of the. gam-o up tili! their last innings, when, wonting 13 runs to win,' a •'rot" set in, and die side were out for 2'6. Masterton -had their best team in the field, while Carlton were widhout the services of E. Petersen, one of their best bowlers.

Masterton won the toss, and elected .to bat. So deadly was the attack of Temple and C. Welch, however, that seven wickets were down for 41, when E. Welch replaced C. Welch. The last three wickets fell for" one run, the slow good length balls from the .new bowler being too much for the batsmen. Carlton did not open too well, but thanks to the batting of C. Welch (17 not out), the score reached 56 before t'ho last wicket fell. On tho whole the batting was not a good display, as (as I have said before) the team is not a halting side. A lead of 13 runs was obtained.

IMastertoiii's second innings opened badly, and for a time things looked as • if Carlt;.n was in for an easy win, as I their opponents had lost six- wadsets I for 20. E. Welch again had the bats--1 men puzzled, and had secured ins four wickets fairly cheap, when, in stopping a hard drive from Wixen lie had the misfortune to split his linger and was compelled to give up the ball. The batsmen, not Deing used to the class of balls that "XixT' was pitciliing up, did not appear to know what to do with tfiiem. Two players tried jumping in,.were heated, and failed to recover their ground before their bails were olf. At this stage one of the weaker bowlers was put on, and the remaining four wickets produced 36 runs.. "Wixen (18 not out) played, a I good innings, and no doubt saved his ' J side.

Requiring 43 to win, Carlton's chances were bright. But here again the uncertainty oi : cricket was in evidence. The side collapsed for 23, two men being responsible for the score. • Perry bowled well, but Thompson used the greater judgment, in change of pace, and ringing in a leg-break now and then'with his usual off-breaks,-and to him fell the bulk of the honours. He kept the 'batsmen in constant contortion acts; wicket after wicket fell to him, and at the counting of the scalps, it was found that lie had gvroscoped seven of the opposition, and was lightly smitten therefor. Thus ended one of the most exciting and even junior matches played for some time. Never during a match have I heard more grumbling than was the ease in the Carlton-Mast-erton match at the "hay reserve" (schcolgroiuid) on Saturday over t-ho sta>to of the ground. The -recent rains 'have helped matters considerably, and the grass is now from 12 to. 18 indhes high. No less than twice was the ball lost within a chain of t'ho wickot. On one occasion, when a wickot had fallen, and L he incoming batsman had arrived at the wickets, the captain was seen anxiously looking round for his "longfield," wondering what had become of him. Presently, however," the player was j seen rising from amongst the 'hay, whero he had been sitting down awaiting the resumption of the game. As Saturday's match was the last of the first round, the schoolground will not be required any further this season, . as-in the second round all Maunceville matches will be played at home. So ithe hay may stay, and will, no doubt, prove useful for the school boys , to play hide-and-seek in—or marbles! MEETING OF ASSOCIATION. A meeting of the Wairarapa Cricket Association was held in. Masterton on Saturday evening, Mr E. Collinge in the chair. Mr L. H. Smart, who has been secretary and treasurer of the Association for the past season, tendered his 1 resignation, owing to pressure of busi- ! ness preluding his giving the necessary time to the office. The resignation was received with regret, aiid a hearty vote of tbaaiks was, passed to him for 'his'services.. Mr T. Jordan was elected" to fill the vacant post. _ A letter, was received from the JHawlce's Bay Association suggesting dates for a representative match with 'the Wairarapa eleven, as the Hawke s 'Bay team is playing in Wellington at Christmas timel December 27th and ? 28th" were suggested as suitable dates for the fixture, . . : :lt was also .decided that, the -match with Manawatu be arranged for the 20th and.22nd of January next, if the dates were acceptable to the Manawatu Association. The commencement of the second round of .fixtures'will bo postponed till £fter the holidays... On December lfttih the unfinished match, Carlton v. "Carterton will be continued..
