M&ici: Franklin- and Fergusson made the top scores of, 15 and 14 respectively on.the, •siiigleustle, while Mr J.' Williams sustained his;reputation as a.bat by'putting, together the Bcoreof 20 for the rilarried. :; On the whole.a most enjoyable- afternoon' Was spent, and ; _ we; should be- pleased tpsee these reunions more-frequent ■ We hope;.alj|o.that Masterton wijl nij't" hind iiaridin the matter of cricket/ but:to-< steadily practice aiid try cbncluaionsoiiee" more iyith'th'e sister townships. .We were""' .surprised fo•see :ao little interest mam*: fested by-'membera of the Glubi : oh:.the ! : occasion of'their general meeting, oh,: Thursday evening last. Only two ir three., pi in an Appearance and consequently the meeting had to be adjourned.We': hope our young men will display a-' little more enthusiasm in the sport, and keep up their reputation as cricketers. Last year the Borough Cricket Club'took everything before it, and we do not see that it, as at present constituted,' lacks any of the blood, which kept it up to the mark then. . .Although the Club' suffered, a severe loss .in losing such players as Hood, Fittpnj. Green,, and, others, it has. still a good many first-class players, and we trust the Club as a whole will keep in mind Isaac Pitman's advice' to his' shorthajid pupils and " practice,'? "practice," -as this is the only way to. make' the Borough Cricket Club a source of pride to. the township. .
