CRICKET. NGARUAWAHIA C.C. Y. ZINGARI C.C. (Communicated.)

On Saturday ] oat the match between tho above clubs came oil m Mr Humes paddock, and as the scores will show with a very dunstrou* effect for tho local team. Shortly before 11 a.m., tho 2mgari arrived from Hamilton, and without delay the two skippers W. Pilling and Carleton tossed for choice, the latter losing. Pilhng elected to take tho field first, himself and Cox tuking charge ol the ball at either end iaylor and Carleton were tho first of the N.C C to show up' but the latter was soon sent homo by W. P,ll mg beine clean bowled for 2; 1 wicket for 3. J. Edgeouinbe came nex», but very soon ran himself out without adding to the score d| U 1 w" p°h- " Xl R , Ed « ( : combo 8 0L * couple of singles when W.

Wlnlakrr going on at Taylors end. The change whs not, however efficacious, Sandra letting out und putting together 11 ,„ tt ' Jew minutes, making a splendid drive for 5, which beinir thrown up into a hole enabled them to run 6 for it Cox went on again and bowled Sai.des for 11-6 wickets for 27 b. Jldgeoumbo next scored 1, i.nd tho remaining four added nothing to tho total, the wickets falling 7 for 31,-8 for 31 —9 tor 34, and 10 for 34, of which 5 were extns. Ta>lor earned his bat out after playing decidedly tho best mn m»> during the gome. Ho only scored 10 runs, but succeeded in puzzlmg the bowling. Cox got 4 wickets and Pdlw 5 Ihe Zuigari sent I<\ A. Whitaker and Burgess i > °tlie wiofceU to the bowling of Carleton and Foley, and 8 runs wore scored when Burgess wua run out for 3—l wickot for 8. E B.

Pilhng only adcled Ito tho score when he put Ins leg where his but should have been — 6 for 30; Whila,er wal.iug mtD it all th« time ¥ 1 illmg managed 1 also when he gave Y.

The fielding of t he Zinyan throughout whs fur superior to that of the NCC, tlio.y having evidently played much more together than the latter, who coining together for the first tuna wero of course undrr a j'reat disadvantage. In the batting, with a little practice, there would not be so much difference between the teams and the N.C C. bowlers also want practice Foley was very rauoh out of practice and was not at all up to his usual form, and in tho tecond innings Carleton was all abroad. The Zingan played with only 10 men, bui OTon that made little or no difference to the result, tho homo team being undoubtedly OTermiitchedIn the evening tho rivals met, together with a few friends, at the Delta Hotel, where Mr Harris had prepared a feed wl ioh fairly took everybody by surprise. In the first place tho table was beautifully garnished and well lit 'up, and in tho next the edibles were all that could bo desired by tae milt fastidious — there seeming to be everything that one could wish for, including green peas, new potatoes, &c, &c, to which luxuries few present have boen accustomed lately in the Waikato. Tho -nines too were fir3t-class, and in fact everybody seemed most thoroughly pleased and satisfied with the whole affair. A little speechifying was indulged in, and also a litlle singing, and the party broke up early, the visitors having to travel to Hamilton which they did seemingly thoroughly satisfied with tho treatmont they hid received. We presume that a return match will come off in a short time. Appended are the scores • —
