Perfect cricket weather prevailed and the caretaker is to be congrntulaud upon ihe excellent condition of the pitch provided Timaiu woo the toss from WII.I Us, the Ash burton skipper, and elect f><"t to hat.

The Anhburton bowling average reads : — Russell 5 wickets for 15 run«, Macdonald! 3 for 47, Davis, 2 lor 32, Friedlander 0 for 16, Beckett 0 for 45.

Thomson, through a mistake of the umpire, had the misfortune to be given ouU Wick stead bowled very well for Timaru, getting 5 wickets for 25 runs, Jones 3 for 29 being next best, The fielding of both teams was good.
