CRICKET.

The first match of the season ill this district was played last Saturday afternoon on the Aratapu ground Tatarariki and Aratapu were the contestants and a pleasant game resulted. Owing to a breakdown the preparation ot the pitch had not been completed, and although the matting was used the wicket was only a poor one. Aratapu went first to the wickets but failed to make a stand ; T. Nield, being the only batsman to reach the doubles. T Elliott’s bowling was very effective as may be seen by a glance at the analysis. Tatarariki in their batting were again greatly assisted by T. Elliott who made a long Btand for 30 runs. T. Walker bowled steadily and secured two wickets for 5 runs. Tho match was won by Tatarariki by IS runs on the first innings. Aratapu c. c. Ist Innings 2nd Innings. T. Nield b.
