CRICKET NOTES. FINANCE COMMITTEE.
On Saturday last no less than six league matches were brought to a de Anite conclusion. This must be a bio of a record in its way, but in a good many cases the opposing teams were not well matched. The trouble will come, I fear, when the stronger sides get up against each other.

A meeting of the Colony's Finance Committee was held in the Council Chamber yesterday afternoon when a total sum of $127,007 was voted to sup- plement the estimates of 198
The Colonist Secretary presided and those present included the Colonial Treasurer, the Director of Pablis Works, Hon Sir Henry Follock, Hon. Sir Shou- son Chow, Hon. Mr. A. O. Lang, Hon. Mr. H. W. Bird, Hon. Mr. R. R. Kotowall and the Hon. Mr. D. G. M. Bernard.
The match between the EC.C. and the Borderers was the most interesting ovent, and it looks rather as if I was. right last week in suspecting that the soldiers relied rather on Dobbie and one or two more.

Hoa. Sir HENRY POLLOCK: What are these additional quarters?
The C.S.C.C. had not much trouble with Craigengower, and would have had even less save for very bad fielding. This, however, was almost entirely due to the glare: I do not remember quite such a difficult light in some twelve or thirteen seasons* experience.. But although Craigengower lost badly, I do not think! they need be too downhearted. Their team is very young and most of them lack experience. it is perhaps a big if they can keep the same side together for two or three seasons they will hava an uncommonly good side. Two at least were uncommonly good in the field while Mackay has the makings of a fine bowler. revised He turns the ball surprisingly from the original estimate was only approximate off, but he will have to be careful with as it was prepared from sketch plans and bis action as it is rather near a jerk at it was not known then whether the pro- fject would be carried through Subse- présent.
