Masterton v Greyiown,

The return match between the above Clubs was played at Greytown on Saturday last, and resulted in a hollow defeat of the visitors by an innings and one run, This result was anticipnted by many from the very weak team which travelled to the winning township, Messrs Moore and-Hawke captained the teams, Mr T, Wakelin acting as umpire for Masterton, and Mr W. Udy for Greytown." For Masterton Perry and Littlejohn batted exceedingly well, the former especially playing a.fine game when he was.ruii out. The same player also bowled well'for Ru team, and had he been put on agaih at •the latter eiid of the Greytown innings, the probabilities afe the score would 1 not have been anything like so high, as : the last three wiokets put on a good deal more than half the sopre. ' W; : Judd made top goore for his side with 35; gbt .principally by hard slogging, Rutherfiird getting hia runs in the rame style. , Stokes (Masterton), and Hawke (Greytown) played well

behind the wickets, though the fotrrtekf was a good deal out of sorts. The following aro the scores • Mastebton—-Ist Inuin«a. Littlejohn, bW. Judd... .... ... 20 Bobiaon, b,W.

Opaki Ist y Mastekton 2kd, A match between the above tearaß came off on Saturday afternoon laat on the Park Oval, and resulted in a win forthe latter by 13 runs on the first innings. The match was fixed for 2 o'clock, but, owing to misunderstandings, did not commence till a quarter past 3. The Masterton team went first to tho wickets, and four fell for the small total of two runs, Williams and Bremner were the only two who reach double figures with 1G and 10 respectively, Symondß coming next with 7. The for 37 runs. The bowling of the Opaki team was dead on, and a word of praise is duo to their fielding, which was above the average. The Opaki team then handled the willow against the bowling ot Williams and Pond, but fared even vrorao than their opponents. Not one of them were ableto get into double figures, Ewington being the, highest scorer with six to his credit, the extras coming next with fivo. Williams did terrible execution with tho leather taking oight wickets in rapid succession, The end of the innings was not long in drawing near, and closed for the small total of twenty, four. In the .second innings the home team made a much better stand, and by dint of hard play succeeded in putting together 80 runs for theloss of six wickets, the largest contributors being Williams 27, Symonds 16, and Blinkhorno' 8, Williams by an unlucky stroke managed to hit. his kneo - cap with the bat which caused him , to retire from the field. For the Opaki team W. Welch jun. played his maiden match aud showed good form, his chief points being in picking up and throwing in. Ho was in his right place aalong-on, and saved the opposing team from scoring many runs which otherwise they' would have done, Apponded are the full scores : Mastbrton, Ist innings. flirschberg, c and b Boulcott 0 Mackay, b F.
