high windß with heavy storms of]

rain. I see the Eketahuna Crick t Club won tho match with a little to spare. Refreshments were pro vided on the ground, whioh all oould

partake of. After the match a h nquot was given by tho Eketahuna Cricket Club to tho visitors in Jones' Ternperanoe Hotel. Twenty six sat down to the spread. . Several songs were sung by mombers of both clubs, toasts were drunk to the captain of both Club, and the. chairman.
