Second Day.

A somewhat late start was made, ,and it was noon before Bowden and Ewing resumed their places. Pillmg bowled a maiden the first over, and in the next Bowden hit Longbottoin to leg for one. Ewing, after a good hit off Longbottom for three, gave a chance to Stubbing who did not hold the ball, but quickly throwing it in, Ewing was run out. Brown was speedily bowled by Longbottom without scoring, and the hopes of the Cambridge team began to revive, the score being 39 runs for six wickets. Leahy was bowled by Longbottom's first ball, and was followed by Sutherland, who managed to put eight together before he was bowled by Pilling. Meanwhile Bowden was steadily increasing the score, which now stood 58 runs for eight wickets. Garrett succeeded Sutherland, and had made three when Pilling bowled him. McLennan was the iiett man, and had scored one when Bowden, who .appeared likely to carry out his bat, was caught by Stubbing off Pilling, after a well-played innings for 28 runs. Cambridge was represented in the second innings by Stubbing and Longbottom, Stubbing commencing in good style by driving Leahy for 2, and hitting the next ball to square leg for 3. In the third over, a ball from Leahy ran off Longbottom's foot into the wicket, cutting short nis career for 2 run«. Moore next went in, and managed to break the duck's egg before he was bowled by Bowden. Forrest came next, and secured 2 off the first ball bowled to him and 1 off the second, Stubbing during the same over scoring a 2 and a 3 off Leahy's bowling. In the next over, Stubbing hit Bowden for a pair of doubles. Forrest, in the following over, was an instant too late in getting his bat down in playing a shooter from Leahy, and retiied after adding 3to the record. Pilling was bowled by the second ball he received from Leahy, and the next ball of the same bowler was fatal to Wilson, making three wickets taken with four balls by Leahy. Hunt followed Wilson, and made a good beginning by hitting his first ball into the scoring tent for 3, but in a couple of overs was caught and bowled by Bowden. Cotton also started well and secured 3 off Leahy, besides several singles, until Bowden's bowling proved too good for him. Steele and Farquharson, who should have batted for Cambridge were unavoidably absent, thus depriving the team of two of their best players, so W. Reid went in as the last man, and succumbed to the second ball delivered by Bowden, giving the victory to the visitors by 09 runs. The match throughout was highly interesting to any lover of cricket, and had Messrs Steele and Farquharson been able to play the second day the discrepancy between the scores would no doubt have beeu materially lessened. Mr A. B. Stubbing, who carried out his bat, was received with enthusiasm on his return to the tent. The fielding of the visitors was deserving of comment ; in fact, it may be said that their fielding won them the game. The Cambridge men should take the lesson to heart, and by more constant practice together endeavour to attain the efficiency that can only be gained by such means. Messrs T. Peek and C. Hitchman acted as umpires, and gave universal satisfaction. In the evening the teams again dined together in the Public Hall, when a very enjoyable time was spent. After the usual loyal toasts had been honoured, the health of the visiting team was proposed by Mr H. E. Cotton and responded to by Mr G. P. Ewing. In return, Mr Ewing proposed the Cambridge team, both toasts receiving musical honours. The toast of the umpires was responded to by Mr Hitchman, and the Press, coupled with The Waikato Times, by Mr Edgar. On behalf of the visitors, Captain Corbett returned thanks in an interesting speech, introducing personal reminiscences of the early days of cricket in Euerland.
