.. MaSWOS Vi ! SlMi ElFlßßfc;' '• The first round of the Wairarapa Association's championship handicap matchcswap commenced on Saturday, The game between the above teams was played on the Park Oval on a side pitch, which (lid not play so well as anticipated. A good deal of interest was manifested in the contest, and a good number of spectators assembled on the ground. The Stars played thirteen men instead of lifteen, while Iggulden.'s and Jackson's places, had to be filled by substitutes in -the Mastertou team. Wickens (Star) won the toss and his team batted first, the innings closing for 51, llichards, Hawlte, and A. Welch contributing most to the score. Tlje former played very steadily, and if lie continues his present style will make a first class cricketer. The Masterton team then went in and ran their score to 181. • Of this number Whatman-put together 82 with some splendid hits.' He was unfortunate enough to be given out " leg before" when the ball struck his. bat first. Moore (not out) 2G, Smith 17, Perry 14, and MeKeima 12, were the other .double figure men. With a lot to the bad, the Stars went in for their second innings, and by the instrumentality of Hawlte (not out) 3i) ; made a mucli better show. The fielding of the Masterton team got a bit loose, in this innings, a want of energy being shown, Masterton won the match on the first innings.: The following aro the scores :
