The Tradesmen were severely defeated by Carterton, but the gallant W.F.O.A. team once more upheld the honour of thocHM(?jcoming off victorious. in against Tradesmen y Carterton. The visitors went in first, and with their first two men (Booth and Benall) knocked up no less than sixty-two runs between them, MoKenzie waß the only other to enter double figures and played a fine innings for eleven runs, The team was not disbanded before the very respectable total of 106 runs had been made,

The Tradesmen then went in, but tbeir wiokets fell fast and the excellent bowling of B»ft|j(atid Darrooh. The former was Wd on 1 the wioket, and no Btand was made against him.
