At Carterton in the first innings Martinjborough scored 125 and Carterton 195. Both games will be continued next Saturday. UNITED v. OLD BOYS. The United v r . Old Boys mateh was commenced on tie Park Oval on Saturday afternoon in beautiful weather. The scoring was only moderate, this being due to the crumbling up of the wicket. United won the toss and batted and at the fall of the last wicket had compiled the fair total of 170. F. Hoar was mainly responsible for this total, having got together 80 runs before McMichael caught him at deep slip off Falloon. His was an aggressive innings, 56 of his runs coming from boundary hits. Off one over from McMichael he hit one six, three, fours and one two. He was lucky in being missed on three different occasions, but his innings was most valuable to his side. Others to reach double figures were J. Patrick 15, A 4 Hear 14, and T. Voyce, who played patient cricket for his 10 runs.

Old Boys with nine men could only manage to total the poor score of 30. The bowling of the Hoar brothers was excellent, A. Hoar securing 3 for 9 and F. Hoar 4 for 15. Old Boys, not having acquired the number of runs to save a follow on, commenced their second innings and at the drawing of stumps had lost five wickets for sixty-six runs.
