We regret that owing to the imperfect re cords kept we are unable to give the bowling analysis for the season. Those members, however, who have done most service in this important branch' of the game are Connell, Cotton, Buckland, Bennett, Garland, Yates, Daviesj and Mooney. It is to be hoped that , next season care will be taken that the bowl , ing should be properly taken account of. To howl well as much as to bat and field well • should be the aim of all cricketers. It is an accomplishment that deserves every encouragement given to its cultivation. ■The indifferent batting averages are ac counted for by the fact of the Club having *jM* no properly made ground to play on., It is satisfactory to state that arrangements we now being carried out for a first-class ground being laid down for the Club at Jalershe. It will he ready by the beginning of next season; and we have no doubt, from 1 Hie form shown under difficnlties by many of we members this season, that cricket will oe exhibited next season which it will be well WoJJfl a run ont to Ellerslie to see. „, /. c Purpose publishing statistices where obtainable of the other clubs in Auck an*-and the suburbs.
