HOUSE MATCHES.
Clifton Rise Clifton Rise Day Boys ) (217-131) School House
Bye School House (163-49)
The semi-final between the Rise and Day Boys produced the expected victory for the Rise. The features of the game were the opening stand of 88 for the Rise by Kazerooni (55) and Newman (40), and a fine innings of 71 by Lockwood for the Day Boys. The Rise batted first and eventually compiled the formidable total of 217. In reply to this the Day Boys had scored 89 for three wickets at the close of play, Lockwood being 59 not out. Rain during the night made the pitch awkward when the Day Boys continued their innings, and after Lockwood had been caught from a ball that got up sharply, the Day Boys were soon out for 131.
FINAL.
The final produced rather an unexpected success for the House, who won by 115 runs. Stead won the toss, a decisive advantage, and Smart and Tyson made a good start. This prevented any chance of one of those inexplicable collapses which so often occur in house matches. Smart was unfortunately run out with the total at 37, but Tyson continued to bat very well, and Stead scored steadily. The former was at last bowled by Newman when only three short of fifty, but thanks chiefly to a useful innings by Baines, and some spirited hitting by Marwood near the end, the total reached 163. Stephenson bowled very consistently for the Rise, and finished with five wickets at a cost of 11 runs each.
On paper the House bowling was very weak, but it proved good enough.
When the Rise went in, a bad start was followed by the inevitable collapse. Tyson's second over put an end to any hope of victory the Rise held. His first ball clean bowled Kazerooni, and two balls later Newman was brilliantly stumped by Smart. Before the end of the over McLean was run out, and three wickets were down for 9 runs. Of the remaining batsmen Campbell (P. C.) alone played well, though Stephenson and Carlton fared a bit better than the others. The innings closed for 49, Dixon (J. B.) taking five wickets for 28 and Tyson three for 13.
Smart was in great form behind the wickets, stumping two and two being run out. The running between the wickets was very bad throughout she whole game, no fewer than five batsmen being run out.

THE BOATERS v. THE BAY.
The annual Boaters v. Bay match took place on the evening of July 25th. It had been a brilliant day, and evening was correspondingly warm. The Boaters, who intended to show the cricketers that they were as good at cricket as the cricketers were at rowing, went in first, the opening pair being B. J. Eastwood and A. W. Douglas. Rimmer, bowling from the bottom end, bowled Eastwood after he had made two. Wall, the next man in doubled that score, but also fell to Rimmer. When Mr. Rhodes came in at fifth wicket, Douglas was still collecting runs, mainly from the " boaters " stroke. He fell when he had made 30, bowled lbw. by I. A. S. Thompson. Soon after, Mr. Rhodes followed, being caught by R. M. Deas off Mr. Toyne's bowling. The innings closed with the Boaters at 95, of which Mr. Rhodes had made 42.
The Bay then went in, but soon met with disaster. Deas, and Stead who was batting left-handed, fell to Douglas, when the score was 14. After that only Miss Toyne and Newman, who was also lefthanded, put up any resistance to Hale and Douglas's bowling. The Bay were all out for 67, leaving the Boaters the victors by 28 runs.
