CRICKET.

Guettown •v. Feaxherston and -TauHERENTSAU. Tuesday, the day fixed for this match, the rain falling heavily, it was deemed prudent to postpone the match till the following day, Wednesday, when a large concourse of people from all parts of the vailey assembled in Mr ■Beetham’s paddocks, to witness one of the best contested matches perhaps ever played in this valley.

The play on-both sides, in the bat.ing, fielding or balling was better than we have ever here witnessed, the contest was teen and the rivaliy on both sides was carried out with that good humor which tends so much to foster that spirit of emulation between the two townships without exhibiting those local . jealousies, which would do-more harm than . good in a district like this. The fielding of the Greytown eleven in the first innings of there opponents was capital, but in so; ‘e thereof they succeeded principally by the bitting of .Burt and Feast, in making such a score as to really wicthe game. ' When the members of the Greytown Club huGiied the wihow they Wtre peculiarly unfortunate, and only succeeded in scoring 33 to • tudr opponents t>3. in tuts mningsMr Jupp, s-io.vcu himself to be a practical cricketer, and the caution and dexterity he used called - forth the pianola of the spectators. The lauheremkao and Featherskm Clnb, went in again with high spirits, u.;l were doomed to dbapneintment, W. Udy going in fre-h wi hj the b.i:l sent the wickets tirin'’’ at t_e ;..cL stare, turwont withna runs, J. Fuller -caught two out lean hull/, and C. Ticeharst ihu ioe sr.ue, ci.

Greathead, who made some capital hard hits, until bowled - out by J. Cundy. Tee total score was 30 - leaving the Featherstou and Tauherenikau Club, tiie winners by 21. E. Ticehurst acted as umpire for Greytown, and Mr Williams for Tauherenikau and Featherstoa. Subjoined is ■- the score:—
