which D. He wo,tt secured 50. They then put tlieir opponents in twice and disposed of thorn in the -first innings for 22 and the second for 48, thus leaving the Pahiatua Club winners by one innings add 95 runs. Isherwood batted well for the visitors. The first show of the Horticultural Society was an unqualified success. I learn that after paying prize money, etc., they have a balance in hand of £ll, a very fair beginning.
