Sr . PETER ' S SCHOOL V. GARFORTII C .C. Played on the School ground June 14th. Kirke won the toss and sent E . Kirke and if . Harrison in to hat on a perfect cricket . Both players scored quickly, and the score was raised to 62 in 33 minutes, when, in hitting at a full toss to leg, Harrison was caught for a well played 23 . Crosthwaite took Harrison's place, and the pace slackened a little . E . Kirke made a risky stroke through the slips, which happily did not come within reach of any fielder, but at 91 E . Kirke was caught off NV . Tate in trying to cut the slow bowler . The retiring batsman had made 42 by attractive cricket, including eight boundaries. 1' . Kirke came to tile wickets, but after seven runs had been added Crosthwaite was caught at the wickets for 18, which ineludcd two hand chances to the bowler (98-3-18) . Newton was the new comer, and played steadily, while P . Kirke ]tit . After surviving two appeals for l .b .w . he was given out (13 .2-1-t l) . Boy carne in and was missed oil' his first ball, but was bowled shortly after for eight (146-5-8) . Neilson hit hard, and 27 were added in 12 minutes before Neilson was bowled (173-6-13) .

:39 minutes. It is rather a curious thing that, just as last year, during the course of the last match three different players held the batting average—viz . : 1: . 11 arrison, E . Kirke, and 1' . Kirke—this scoring in the match reversing the order to P . Kirke, E . Kirke, and R . Harrison.
