ANCESTRY OF SYDENHAM CLUB AT PAPERS PAST BY FLAGON PARK ------THE SECOND ADDINGTON CRICKET CLUB 1880-1895 ------John HOPPER, the president of the Hagley Oakleaf a.k.a. Cricket Club, resigned from that position at a special meeting held a week after the 1879 AGM. In 1880 he called a meeting to form the second Addington Cricket Club and moved the motion at that meeting that the club be formed. The motion was seconded by William Thomas BURLEY who about a month before had been re-elected as Secretary at the 1880 AGM of the Christchurch Cricket Club! Other people at the meeting to form Addington had also attended the Christchurch AGM. By 1880 the Sydenham Borough acquired from the government the relatively small market reserve of 5 acres on the margin of the borough, named as the Sydenham Recreation Reserve by the borough and these days known as Addington Park. The reserve was previously the site of the city abbatoir having been set aside for that purpose in 1869. The second Addington Cricket Club formed ready for the 1880-81 season gained the use of the reserve but wanted a more suitable ground, and by the following season had gained a ground from the Domain Board of the City Council at the Lower Ground in Hagley Park roughly opposite St Asaph Street, which we know these days as Hospital Corner. Due to the heavy expense of renting, establishing and then maintaining the ground over several seasons, Addington eventually took up an offer to make its home ground at . Later on a season was spent at and then it was back to Hagley Oval. The club colours adopted in 1882 were white with a black sash. In 1885 the club colours were changed to cardinal and old gold. The cardinal colour was later described as scarlet. The modern Sydenham club has in its archives a photo of Addington's side that went unbeaten during the 1881-82 season with John HOPPER as the captain. I have made good progress with most of the players in the photo and in future will present an article about them. In the following 1882-83 season the Addington eleven joined United, Midland and Lancaster Park in the Canterbury Cricket Association's brand new Senior Cup competition, but, sadly, were beaten up all season by the other far superior sides. Addington applied for a handicap of fifteen players the following season 1883-84 and with increasing experience against the top teams had its first taste of success in senior cricket when it beat the powerful Lancaster Park line-up which had won the inaugural Cup competition the season before. In 1884-85, still with the fifteen men handicap, the Addington XV won the Senior Cup. That was the last time a southern based side was to win the Senior Cup until the Sydenham & Addington United side performed the feat nineteen seasons later in 1903-04. Having won the Senior Cup Addington tried conclusions in the next two seasons with thirteen men but took beatings again and went back to fifteen men, then thirteen men again. After that they had a go with eleven men for some seasons then went back to the thirteen man handicap in 1892-93. For the 1893-94 and 1894-95 seasons Addington didn't even enter a team in seniors, dropping down to the Junior Grade instead. In 1894 Sydenham Park became available after the 14 acre ground was bought from the Canterbury Agricultural & Pastoral Association by the Government and the Sydenham Borough who stumped up half the money each. The brand new third Sydenham Cricket Club was formed in April 1895 and obtained consent from the Sydenham Borough Council to use Sydenham Park as its home base. John Allot CAYGILL formerly of the Hagley Oakleaf club and now of the Addington club was the councillor who moved that Sydenham's application be approved. The Rev Len ISITT, formerly in charge of the Sydenham Wesleyan club and who had subsequently been an officer of the Addington club, made the recommendation during the ensuing winter that the Sydenham and Addington clubs should combine to the benefit of both. The advantages of combined membership, Addington's former representation in the Senior Cup along with fifteen years experience as a club, and Sydenham's access to Sydenham Park must have made the merger a no-brainer. And so the Sydenham & Addington United club was formed, the new name being taken at the AGM on 31 August 1895. Sydenham's adopted colours were chocolate and white but the new club colours adopted by Sydenham & Addington United were those of Addington, scarlet and old gold. Of great interest in relation to club colours is that the Sydenham Rivals club, which had seven seasons on Sydenham Park and disbanded in 1905 only because of the start of district cricket, had cardinal and blue for its club colours. Do the words cardinal/scarlet, blue and old gold sound familiar? The start of the Sydenham & Addington United club, on Sydenham Park, was celebrated as the beginning of our modern Sydenham Cricket Club at the centenary of the latter in 1995.

On the motion of Mr Hopper, Mr Hepworth was voted to the chair. The Chairman briefly addressed the meeting on the necessity that existed for recreation for the large number of young men living in Addington, and thought it was high time that a cricket club was in existence in the district. Mr J. Hopper briefly stated what had already been done, and what the prospects of the proposed club were. He said the Sydenham Recreation Reserve was the best place for the club ground, and he thought there would be no difficulty in obtaining the consent of the Sydenham Borough Council for the use of the reserve. At the request of several young men in the neighbourhood he had taken the matter up, and he now had very great pleasure in moving that this meeting form itself into a cricket club. Mr Burly in seconding the resolution, referred to the necessity of such a club being formed, as owing to the very excessive charges made by the Association Clubs, it was impossible for a great many to join them, and the Association instead of furthering the interests of cricket was frustrating the purpose it was meant for, and merely upholding it for some select few. The motion was carried unanimously. About fifty of those present gave in their names as members, including several well known in cricket-circles. A number of rules were then submitted to the members, which received the approval of all present. It was decided that the club be named the Addington Cricket Club, the entrance fee to be 2s & 6d, annual subscription 7s 6d. The election of officers for the ensuing season resulted as follows:- President, Mr William White, jun.; Vice-Presidents,Messrs J. Hepworth and J. Booth; Secretary and Treasurer, Mr W. T Burly; Captain, Mr J. Hopper. Messrs A. E. Milford and J. Simpson were elected members of the General Committee, and Messrs J. Parker, B. Jackson, and C. Aird, were elected members of the Match Committee. It was resolved "That the opening match should be played on Saturday, Oct 16." A hearty vote of thanks to the Chairman and Mr Hopper brought the meeting to a close. http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi- bin/paperspast?a=d&cl=search&d=CHP18801008.2.14&srpos=7&e=------100-CHP%2cTS-1- byDA-on--2addington+cricket-- Press, Volume XXXIV, Issue 4, 8 October 1880, Page 2 Cricket Meeting At Addington.

U.C.C.C. v. M.C.C.C. [By Spikes.] The ground was very well filled last Saturday as in addition to the above match three others were in full swing. That between the Second Eleven of the Midland and the Woolston Club was a bowlers affair all through and that between the United and Christchurch was noticeable for the hitting of Messrs Hanmer and Bedmayne, and the collapse of the rest of their side. The incidents of the encounter between Christ's College and Sunnyside were the disgraceful fielding of the College boys and the fine batting of their captain (Mr Cotterill), who, after being ridiculously missed, first ball, sent his opponents' bowling all over the field in rare style. To return to the principal match, a short description will suffice. The Midland went first to the wickets, and stayed there about two hours for 70 runs. Mr Morice began well, but was unfortunate in being run out by his partner, and Messrs Fowke and Wood batted with caution, but the rest of the team were unable to cope with the bowling of Messrs Ashby and Beswick and the good fielding which supported it. Mr Secretan brought off a couple of clever catches at point, and Mr Wilding as wicket-keeper shaped fairly well. Mr Beswick bowled very steadily with a good curl, but had he fielded smartly to his own bowling he would have saved some runs, and made at least one catch. The United were not particularly lucky in their start, as Mr Reeves was bowled off his pad, and Mr Hartland, after putting together 14 neatly, was caught in making a leg bit. But a stand was then made, and Messrs Secretan and Ashby, who effected it, showed first class cricket. The latter made two grand drives off Mr W. Frith, and that bowler, who had been doing well, was shunted for Mr Beard, who delivered four overs for 17 runs. Unfortunately the light now became very bad, and it was in consequence of this that Mr Secretan lost his wicket, for he was bowled in cutting at a long hop. Two fine leg hits for four were the only further incidents before the call of time. One of these was made by Mr Ollivier, and it may be mentioned that it is the second that has been recorded for him in the last ten years. Mr Fowke kept wickets in promising style, and the bowling was straight, though not deadly. The match will be continued next Saturday. The following is the score:- M.C.C.C— First Innings. Mr F. H. Morice, run out 10 Mr J. Wood, b Ashby 14 Mr J. Fowke, c Stevens, b Beswick 16 Mr G. Watson, b Beswick 2 Mr W. Beard, c Secretan b Ashby 0 Mr J. Alpe, b Ashby 3 Mr W.

The scores were— Styx, 43 and 16; Avonville, 32 and 29 for five wickets. The highest scorers were— For the Styx, Hunt 21, and for the Avonville, H. G. Ell 13, Cavanagh 19 not out. Addington v. Excelsior. A match between the above Clubs was played on Saturday last on the ground of the former, and resulted in a victory for the Addington Club by 21 runs on the first innings. J. Nevin, 23 and 14, not out W. Lodge, 13 and 2 C. Taylor, 13 and 7, not out, were the principal scorers for Addington. R. M Cleary, 13, was the only one to obtain double figures for the Excelsior. The bowling of B. Jackson for Addington, and J. Parkyers for the Excelsior, was very good, Jackson taking five wickets for 11 runs, and Parkyers nine for 34. The scores were— Addington, 65 and 76 for nine wickets; Excelsior, first innings, 44. Rangiora v. . A match between the above Clubs was played at Rangiora on Saturday afternoon, resulting in a victory for the Rangiora Club on the first innings. The Scores were— Rangiora, 56, Kaiapoi 44, the principal scorers being E. R. Good 28 not out for the Rangiora team, and for Kaiapoi B.

PAST AND PRESENT OF CHRIST'S COLLEGE v. THE ASSOCIATION. [By Spikes.] A match, bearing the same name with the above, which was played in the early part of this season, was left drawn somewhat in favour of the Collegians, but on that occasion the Association was not represented by its full strength. Last Saturday, on the contrary, saw a good representative team go to the wickets, which were in such excellent order that it is not to be wondered at if they were not disposed of before they had accumulated a creditable score ; in fact, the Collegians were well satisfied to see the last of them for 185, seeing that the second wicket was not down till 115 had appeared on the board, through the combined efforts of Messrs Secretan and Watson. The stand made by these two was unquestionably the feature of the afternoon's play. Both played first-class cricket, and gave the fieldsmen no chance whatever to dispose of them. Many were the excellent cuts and drives to which they treated long hops and half-vollies, which were presented to them in endless variety, and the College captain must have been nearly at his wits' end when Mr Watson drove two balls, one after the other, hard into his hands at mid-off, the second of which remained there. One good catch deserves another, and accordingly the fielders had in Mr Beswick's next over to rejoice in the dismissal of the most formidable of their enemies, Mr Secretan, who fell a victim to one of the very finest catches ever seen on the ground. Then came a lull, for Messrs Ashby and Stevens declined to trouble the scorers, but Messrs Corfe and Wilding carried the runs along, and the former looked set for any length of time before he played a ball on to his foot, and, having over balanced himself, was unable to prevent its dribbling slowly on to the wicket. Mr Wilding was well caught at mid-off, and the only noteworthy incident in the rest of the innings was a hit of Mr Fuller's, which enabled the younger Mr Cotterill to make a good catch for the third time during the day. The subjoined analysis will show that the rate of the run-getting was unusually rapid. In a bad light the Collegians went in to face the bowling of Messrs C. Frith and Fuller. Mr Ollivier made two big drives, and was caught at point. Mr Hartland skied a leg-ball, and followed his captain, and in the same over a bumpy ball grazed Mr Reeves' glove and was well caught by the wicket-keeper. Mr W. Cotterill failed to stop a good one, but Mr H. R. Mathias batted, as he had bowled, in good style, and ran up 11 before another fine ball passed his defence. Mr H. H. Mathias fell to a regular conjuror's catch at point, and Mr Helmore had equally bad luck, for he was splendidly caught at short-leg off a hard hit. 8 wickets were down for 49, but Mr Chapman managed to stop a couple of good overs, and at a quarter past six stumps were drawn for the day. Mr E. Cotterill, who was not out, batted pluckily and with freedom, but had the assistance of good fortune. The match will be continued next Saturday. Score and analysis:-- THE ASSOCIATION. Mr H. H.

Only seven of the C.C.C. men turned up, and they had to play the match one man short. In the batting Turner showed the best form, obtaining 17 and 18 not out; Caygill and Forsyth also playing well for 11 and 10 not out respectively. Wagstaff was most successful in the bowling, getting six wickets for 13 runs. For the College Lee was the highest scorer with 13 not out and Harman bowled exceedingly well, obtaining five wickets for 20 runs. The fielding of the C.C.C. men was very good, but that of the College was rather below their usual form. Grigg, however, fielded very smartly, and saved a lot of runs. The College team was considerably weakened through several of their best men playing in the match against the Association. The following are the scores in the first innings C.C.C.

Press C.C.— The match between these was played on Saturday, on the ground of the former. The Press team laboured under the disadvantage of being two men short, and the result was a decisive victory for the home team, the scores being Sydenham, 127; Press, 49. The chief scorers for Sydenham were— Round 28, Fisher 23, Matson 17, and Chambers 12. Gray made the only double figures for the Press, his score reaching 10. The fielding on both sides was loose, on account of the unevenness of the ground. Sandridge C.C. v. Press C.C— A match was played on Saturday between an eleven of the former and the second eleven of the latter, which resulted in a victory for the Press by an innings and 49 runs. For the Press, M'Cleary 24 and Elvines 23 wore the highest scorers, while none of the Sandridge reached double figures. The bowling of Board and Allardyce for the Press was very destructive, whilst Aden bowled well for the Sandridge. Addington v. Bohemians.— A match between the above clubs was played on Saturday last on the ground of the former, and resulted in favour of the home team by 17 runs. C. Strange 26, and A. M'Cormick 18, batted well for the Addington Club. For the Bohemians, Wood, 7, was the top scorer. The bowling of E. Turner, and C. Strange for Addington was very good, the former, quite a young player, getting five wickets for 14 runs, and the latter three for 10. G. Fisher, for the Bohemians, also bowled well. The scores were-- Addington, 62 Hohomians, 45. http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi- bin/paperspast?a=d&cl=search&d=TS18810113.2.9&srpos=5&e=--1875-----100- LT%2cCHP%2cTS-1-byDA-on--2addington+youths-- Star , Issue 3973, 13 January 1881, Page 2 The following will play for the Addington C.C. in their matches with the Sunnyside C.C. and the Addington Youths' C.C., the former to be played on the Asylum ground, the latter on the Addington ground, on Saturday next, at 2 p.m. sharp :— Against Sunnyside— Messrs C.

PRESS CLUB v ADDINGTON Yesterday a match was played between the representatives of the Fourth Estate and the Addington Club, on the ground of the former. An awkward looking wicket presented itself to view, which had not been touched by a roller, yet singularly enough it turned out to be perhaps the best that has ever been observed on the ground. This however must not be taken as a hint by the caretaker in the future, as another experiment might have different results. The typos (four of whom were represented by subs) went in first, and some three or four came speedily out again. Cant and Hawkesworth (a sub) were the first to make a stand, both batting steadily, and after the former was dismissed for 25, the bowling was completely collared by Atack, the next comer and his partner. Four’sfollowed in quick succession, Hawkesworth keeping up his wicket while the other scored. A good ball from White disposed of the sub for 23, and Atack shortly afterwards received a severe blow on the hand, which unfortunately soon brought his innings to a termination when he was well set, and a long score looming in the distance. He made 54 (including two 5’sand five 4’s)by well-timed and clean hitting, combined with more defence than usual. The innings closed immediately afterwards at 133. The Addington men made a poor show at the start, nine wickets being down for 64, but the field becoming flushed with victory dropped some easy chances, and so managed that the last two men put in no less than 60 runs, and nearly wrested victory for their side. Dixon showed good defence for his 30, but both he and Hopper gave chances which ought to have closed their score at an early period. Cant and Connor bowled well for the Press Club ; the bowling of the others was over-pitched, and not very difficult. http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi- bin/paperspast?a=d&cl=search&d=CHP18810806.2.25.7&srpos=20&e=------100-CHP%2cTS-1- byDA-on--2addington+cricket-- Press, Volume XXXV, Issue 4983, 6 August 1881, Page 4 3 VERY VALUABLE SECTIONS at Addington, containing 0a lr 36p, having frontage on Hamilton street, adjoining the Addington Cricket Grounds. http://christchurchcitylibraries.com/Heritage/PlaceNames/ChristchurchStreetNames-I-K.pdf Current Name: Jerrold Street North/Jerrold Street South Former Name: Boundary Road, Douglas Jerrold Street, Brights Road, Hamilton Street, and Jerrold Street West.

The annual general meeting of this Club was held on Thursday evening last, in the Methodist schoolroom, Addington. The Secretary's and Treasurer's report for tbe past season were read. A small deficiency was shown on last year's work, which had been caused through the non-payment of a number of subscriptions. The Club was fairly successful during the past season, having won the majority of matches played, and fully realised the expectations of the promoters of the Club. A serious difficulty to the Club during its first season was very materially felt in the want of a good ground. This, however, had been overcome. At the close of last season an application to the Domain Board for a portion of the lower Cricket Ground was favourably received, and the members set to work to raise subscriptions for preparing the ground for this season. Liberal donations were given by the President and Captain, which made work tolerably easy, and over £30 was subscribed in a very short time. This sum had been spent on the ground, and it is confidently expected that the property thus procured would very materially assist the Club in securing its fair share of victories. The election of officers for the ensuing year resulted as follows— President, Mr W. White, junior; Vice-presidents, Mr J. Hepworth and Mr R. H. Turner; Captain, Mr J. Hopper; Secretary and Treasurer, Mr W. T. Burley. The annual subscription for active members for the season was fixed at £1, and the meeting separated. http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi- bin/paperspast?a=d&cl=search&d=TS18811007.2.9&srpos=6&e=--1875-----100- LT%2cCHP%2cTS-1-byDA-on--2addington+youths-- Star , Issue 4201, 7 October 1881, Page 3 The following will play for the Addington Cricket Club in their match with the Courtenay Club tomorrow, on the ground of the former, play to commence at 2 p.m. :--Messrs Alpe, W.

J. Kiddle 14 and C. Taylor 14, were the principal scores for Addington; Lyford, with 14, being the only one to make any stand for Prebbleton. The other wickets fell very quickly. J. Wheatly and E. Turner each did good service in the bowling department for Addington, the former getting three wickets for 14 runs and the latter five for 10 runs. The scores were— Addington, 71 ; Prebbleton, 29. A match was played on Saturday last on the Christchurch ground between the Standard Cricket Club and the Addington Youths' Cricket Club, which resulted in a draw in favor of the Standard.

Harper, Chairman of the Domain Board, in company with Messrs T. S. Lambert, W. B. Mitchell, and A. Lean, paid another visit to Hagley Park for the purpose of finally determining the site of the Exhibition, and the entrances and carriage drives. Mr Lambert produced a plan indicating the general position of the building and gateways, which was also marked of on the ground by means of pegs. After the ground had been thoroughly examined, it was decided that the building should stand, as was at first suggested, with the main entrance nearly opposite the opening of St Asaph street. The ground of the Addington Cricket Club, which is included in the same portion of the Park, will not be interfered with, as the ends of the building will be situated immediately to the north of the Cricket Club's boundary. There are to be two main entrances, each half a chain in width. The first will be situated on the Riccarton road, about a chain from the corner. This will communicate with a roadway carried across the belt of plantations, and continued along the inner avenue of young trees running parallel to the Lincoln road. The other entrance is to be on the Lincoln road opposite St Asaph street. The road will run on to the exhibition ground with a slight curve, and be gradually increased in width as it approaches the building, in order to afford room for carriages and waggons to turn with convenience. The roadway leading up the avenue from the Riccarton road gate will join this road in front of the entrance to the building. The few trees which it will be necessary to remove are young ones of small value, some of which had been already doomed by the Domain Board. Now that the preliminary arrangements are settled, the plans showing the exact locality of the exhibition will be prepared at once and a lease of the site will be made out by Government on receipt of the report of the Domain Board. The work of erection is to be taken in hand as early as possible, and the first post will probably be driven on Monday next. http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi- bin/paperspast?a=d&cl=search&d=CHP18820130.2.13&srpos=35&e=------100-CHP%2cTS-1- byDA-on--0sandridge+cricket-- Press, Volume XXXVII, Issue 5119, 30 January 1882, Page 3 CRICKET...... On the M.C.C. ground Addington tried conclusions with an eleven of the M.C.C., but got rather the worst of it, only making 69 in their first innings, as against the M.C.C.'s 98. For the M.C.C. Horner ran up 28 and A. Bailey 25...... Riccarton v Sandridge. This match was played on Saturday last, and resulted in a draw in favor of the Riccarton team. The scores were— Riccarton, 1st innings, 41; Sandridge, 28. For Riccarton, McGregor, 13, was the highest scorer, none of the other side succeeding in making double figures. The bowling of McGregor and Curtain for Riccarton, and that of W. Beare and Allardyce for Sandridge, was very good. http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi- bin/paperspast?a=d&cl=search&d=TS18820203.2.11&srpos=36&e=------100-CHP%2cTS-1- byDA-on--0sandridge+cricket-- Star , Issue 4301, 3 February 1882, Page 3 The following will represent the Caledonian C.C. in the return match with the Sandridge C.C. to- morrow:--C.

The scores were M.C.C.C., 98 and 52; A.C.C., 69 and 82 for three wickets. For the latter Turner and Ogier did most of the run-getting, while E. Turner and Ogier were very destructive with the ball. The bad fielding of the losers had as much to do with their defeat as anything...... The return match between the Caledonian C.C. and the Sandridge C.C. was played on Saturday last, and resulted in a draw, greatly in favour of the Caledonians. The scores were— Caledonians, 40 and 82 for the loss of seven wickets Sandridge, 24. Wilsteed was the only one reaching double figures, 44. Robinson and Frith bowled well for the Caledonians, and Beare for the Sandridge. http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi- bin/paperspast?a=d&cl=search&d=TS18820327.2.20.3&srpos=261&e=------100-CHP%2cTS- 201-byDA-on--0addington+cricket+club-- Star , Issue 4344, 27 March 1882, Page 3 ADDINGTON CLUB. It may be interesting to cricketers to hear that the Addington Cricket Club has been so successful in its financial matters that they intend enlarging their present ground, taking in another piece of land behind the Exhibition, and toward the Christchurch football pavilion, and as the Cricket Association has kindly granted the A.C.C. the use of that portion in a line across to the Lincoln Road fence, it is further intended to extend the ground, on removal of the Exhibition buildings, towards the Lincoln Road. If the proprietors leave the ground in good order, there will be a very nice piece brought into use for cricket purposes. The work of formation will be entrusted to the care of Mr Line, who has given the Club every satisfaction by his careful attention to the ground during the present season, when the Club was labouring under financial difficulties. It is hoped that the grazing of sheep and horses will not be allowed, as was the case last year, and that the public will forbear from walking on the new-formed ground until such time as there is a good turf grown. http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi- bin/paperspast?a=d&cl=search&d=TS18820331.2.16&srpos=18&e=------100--1-byDA-on-- 0%22j+wheatley%22+cricket-- Star , Issue 4348, 31 March 1882, Page 3 ADDINGTON CRICKET CLUB. The final meeting of the above Club for the season just concluded was held last evening at the Oddfellows' Hall, Montreal street south. There was a fairly good attendance, and the chair was taken by Mr R. H. Turner. The Secretary, Mr W. T. Burley, read the report, and financial statement for the season, which were of a favourable nature. The Club had played twelve matches during the season, of which nine had been won and three drawn. The number of members was 40, and there was a balance in hand of £25. The report and balance-sheet were adopted. A testimonial was presented to Mr J. Hopper, Captain of the Club, in recognition of the great services he had rendered as captain. The present consisted of a Smoker's Companion, bearing a silver plate with the inscription, "Honour to whom honour is due. Presented to Mr J. Hopper by the Addington Cricket Club. March 30, 1882." The Chairman made the presentation, and Mr Hopper replied in suitable terms. Bats, bearing appropriate inscriptions, were presented to Messrs R. H. Turner and E.

The annual general meeting of the Addington Cricket Club was held on Thursday evening, in the Selwyn street schoolroom, Mr R. H. TURNER in the chair. A large number of members were present. The annual report and balance-sheet were considered very satisfactory, as notwithstanding the heavy expenditure which had been incurred in the preparation of ground and other matters, the debit balance was scarcely more than £8. This was at once cleared by a liberal donation from a prominent member of the Club. Nearly two and a half acres of ground had been prepared for cricket purpose., at a cost of over £50. The work had proved successful, and had been almost solely brought about by the energy displayed by a few of the Club's supportors, combined with the liberal aid from the honorary members. The Club, during the past season, was very successful, not having lost a match. At the same time it must be mentioned that, owing to its junior position, the Club only competed with the second elevens of the Association Clubs. It is intended to arrange matches with first elevens this season as far as possible, though the members entertain very little hope as yet of competing successfully against them The following officers were elected for the ensuing season:--President, Mr W. WHITE, M.H.R. ; Vice-presidents, Messrs J. BOOTH and R. H. TURNER; Secretary, Mr W. T. BURLEY ; Treasurer, Mr S. M'MURRAY ; Captain, Mr J. HOPPER; General Committee, Messrs J. WHEATLEY, W. OGIER, and T. HOOPER ; Ground Committee, Messrs C. TAYLOR, W. ASHBY, aud H. R. SIMPSON ; Auditors, Messrs J. PARKER, and A. ASHBY. A number of new members were also elected. For the future the Club colours will be white, with black sash. Some correspondence having been received in reference to the Club competing in the Cup matches that will be introduced this season, a lengthy discussion arose on the question. The following resolution was carried unanimously:-- "That, the members of the Addington Cricket Club express their regret at the action taken by the Association in not allowing handicaps, as it will no doubt debar junior Clubs from competing that otherwise would have done so. Still, for the interest of cricket generally, they will be prepared to compete in the same, provided it can be done without joining the Association." At the close of the meeting a hearty vote of thanks was passed to Mr W. H. ATACK, for the interest he has shown in the Addington Club in bringing the question of Cup matches before their notice. A vote of thanks to the Chairman terminated proceedings. http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi- bin/paperspast?a=d&cl=search&d=CHP18820928.2.19&srpos=285&e=------100-CHP%2cTS- 201-byDA-on--0addington+cricket+club-- Press, Volume XXXVIII, Issue 5324, 28 September 1882, Page 3 CRICKET.

A special meeting of the General Committee of the Canterbury Cricket Association was hold last night in the Commercial Hotel. There was a large attendance, and the chair was taken by the Hon E. C. J. Stevens, President. The President stated that some members of the Committee and the Hon Secretary had ben considering the tenure of the grounds at Hagley Park from the Park and Domain Board. Until recently the Association had held both the upper and the lower ground, for the purposes of cricket, with the understanding that any Club paying a reasonable charge should have the use of the ground. That system answered very well till recently, when the Addington Club, which, with the connivance of the Association, had become direct holders from the Park and Domain Board, and the independent Lancaster Park ground had been established, .An important innovation had thus been made in the circumstances of the case. The members of the Addington Club and of the Lancaster Park had votes for the Financial Committee which had the management of the Hagley Park grounds. This could not well continue, and it would be well to make the necessary change of system at once, and confine the Association to the arranging of matches, local and foreign, and the selection of teams ; the general management of cricket, apart from management of any grounds. It would be desirable to apply to the Domain Board to put the United, the Midland, and the Christ College Clubs on the same fooling as the Addington Club, letting each have a piece of ground, and leaving to each to keep such ground with its own funds, under such control and in such order as it deemed fit. After some discussion, The President suggested that the following resolution should be adopted:--That the Association should be recommended to invite the Park and Domain Board to allow to the United, the Midland, and the College Cricket Clubs the use of the Hagley Park ground in separate allotments for each of these Clubs as may be agreed, and to alter the rules accordingly at the annual general meeting" The resolution was agreed to unanimously. The following resolutions were also agreed to after some conversational discussion:— That the Finance and Ground Committee meet the Park and Domain Board to ascertain whether, in the event of the proposal being approved by the annual general meeting, it will receive their sanction." "That the Finance and Ground Committee confer with the Secretaries of the United, Midland, and College Cricket Clubs with a view to settle the terms as regards division of ground, money matters, &c, contingent on the proposed change." http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi- bin/paperspast?a=d&cl=search&d=TS18830625.2.24&srpos=34&e=------100--1-byDA-on-- 0%22j+wheatley%22+cricket-- Star , Issue 4727, 25 June 1883, Page 3 ADDINGTON CRICKET CLUB. The Addington Cricket Club have now played through their third season, and considering the many difficulties that beset them, have succeeded fairly well. The receipts for the season were £90 4s 4d, the expenditure being exactly £70, thus leaving a credit balance of £20 4s 4d. The assets of the Club are over £100, against which there is no liability. At the commencement of the season it was found that a great deal of damage had been done to the ground through the holding of the Exhibition, but, it being understood that the ground would be put in good repair after the closing of the Exhibition, and that the sum of £100 had been handed to the Domain Board for that purpose, the Club had a portion of their ground top-dressed, at a a cost of £10, which was to be refunded by the Domain Board. Upon the Club applying for it, the Board declined to pay, on the grounds that the money was all spent. Through the interference with the ground the work caused, fully two months had elapsed before anything like a practice on a good wicket could be enjoyed, which, of course, placed the Club at a great disadvantage. The First Eleven was engaged during the greater part of the season in contesting for the Challenge Cup, but being altogether over-matched, never scored a win. Under the circumstances it cannot be denied that they showed exceeding pluck in repeatedly meeting their formidable antagonists. On the other hand, the Club have the comfort of boasting that the Second Eleven was extremely successful, never losing a single match the whole of the season. The trophy winners for the season are First Eleven: Batting, C. Taylor; bowling, J. Wheatley. Seoond Eleven: Batting, C. Seager; bowling, C. Wagstaff. Best all-round play, J. Wheatley.

When the Club applied for it the Board declined granting it, on the ground that the money was all spent, thereby frustrating the intentions of one of the proprietors of the Exhibition, Mr Twopeny, who wished to make good all damage that might have been done to the A.C.C. ground. Through this inconvenience fully two months had elapsed before anything like a practice on a good wicket could be enjoyed, thus putting the Club at a great disadvantage. The first eleven was engaged during the greater part of the season in contesting for the challenge cup, but being altogether over-matched, never scored a win. This should be sufficient evidence for the necessity of the Club being allowed a handicap next season, as it is ridiculous to expect a young Club such as the Addington to be a match for the senior dubs, viz., the U.C.C, M.C.C., and the Lancaster Park clubs, all of whom possess players of undeniable skill. The second eleven was very successful, never losing a match the whole season. The trophy winners for the season are— First Eleven— Batting, C. Taylor; bowling J. Wheatly. Second Eleven — Batting, C.

Our old friends, the Addingtonians, began the season by putting two teams into the field selected by the Secretary and Captain. The scoring was not very high on either side, as the appended result will show, the bowling apparently being far too good for the batting. We trust, however, that ere the season closes vast improvement will take place in this department of the game. The Addington Brass Band discoursed some excellent music during the play, and very much conduced to the afternoon's amusement. SECRETARY'S SIDE B. Lusk, b H. Ogier 0 C. Seager, b C. Wagstaff E.

The annual general meeting of the above Club took place in the Montreal street Oddfellows' Hall last evening. About 39 members were present, the chair being taken by Mr Hopper. The first item of business was the presentation of the various trophies won by members last year, which were -.— First Eleven: Mr J. Wheatley, best all-round play, a bat; best bowling analysis, a Maltese cross, suitably inscribed ; batting average, C. Taylor, a bat. Second Eleven C. Seager, batting average, a bat ; bowling average, C. Wagetsff, a ball. The Secretary and Treasurer's report was read, and proved very satisfactory, the credit balance being £20 4s 4d, and the assets £97 16s 7d. The election of officers was then proceeded with, and resulted as follows President, Mr J. Hopper; Vice-Presidents, Messrs G. T. Booth and B. H. Turner; Secretary, Mr S. M'Murray ;Treasurer, Mr O. Caygill ; Captain, Mr J. Wheatley. A vote of thanks, coupled with the name of Mr W. T. Burley, late Secretary, whose business engagements necessitated his resignation, was passed. It was unanimously resolved that the Club present trophies for the highest averages in batting and bowling for the ensuing season. Several new members were elected, and a vote of thanks to the Chairman terminated the meeting. http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi- bin/paperspast?a=d&cl=search&d=TS18831008.2.33&srpos=2&e=------100-CHP%2cTS-1-byDA- on--0%22junior+cup%22+cricket-- Star , Issue 4817, 8 October 1883, Page 4 CANTERBURY CRICKET ASSOCIATION. A special meeting of the Canterbury Cricket Association was held at 8 o'clock on Saturday evening, at Warner's Hotel. There was a large attendance. The Hon E. C. J. Stevens presided, and explained that the meeting had been called to consider the question of the establishment of a junior cup, and the consideration of a proposal by the Addington Club to be allowed a handicap in cup matches. Mr Wilding proposed— " That this Association establish a challenge cup to be competed for by the junior elevens." He pointed out that he did not wish by his resolution to limit the competition to particular clubs, whether affiliated to the Association or not. From the successful results which had followed the establishment of cup matches for the senior elevens, he argued that it would be a good thing to extend the system to the junior players. Mr F. Loughnan seconded the motion. A long discussion followed. Mr W. V. Millton and others did not think the proposal a wise one, inasmuch as it would not work well with the constitution of some of the principal existing clubs. Mr Cotterill thought it advisable to take the opinions of the captains of junior elevens on the subject. The Chairman considered that it would be impossible for the Association to admit to competition for a cup of its own establishment any club not affiliated to the Association, but at the same time it was open to any club to join the Association. It was hard for the junior clubs that the cup system, if good in itself, should be confined to senior players. He thought any difficulties arising from the varying constitutions of different clubs would be easily got over. Mr Harley thought that the Junior Cup matches should not be restricted to the four clubs affiliated to the Association. The wider the field of competition, the better for the advancement of true cricket. Mr Atack said that from the remarks of some of the previous speakers there seemed to be some idea that it would be a difficult matter to arrange a scheme of matches. He pointed out that in junior cup matches had been instituted last year, and met with immediate success. Ten or twelve clubs had entered, but the necessary games, numerous as they were, had easily been arranged, and what they could do in Dunedin he thought might be done here. A much more serious difficulty would be the question of getting decent grounds to play the matches upon. He was decidedly in favour of the Chairman's idea that no club not belonging to the Association should be allowed to compete ; it was an easy matter to obtain admission to the Association. The Chairman pointed out that no payment was required from any club to join the Association, all that was necessary was that application should be made to the Committee of the Association. After some further discussion the motion was carried and a Committee, consisting of Messrs Helmore, Bell, W. H. Atack, Condell, Stevens and Hopper, appointed to draw up rules, and place the matter on a working footing. Mr Harley proposed— "That publicity be given to the resolutions passed this evening, and that clubs not already affiliated to the Association be notified that Junior Cup matches have been instituted." The motion was agreed to. Mr Wilding proposed— " That the Addington Olub be allowed to play fifteen in the cup matches during the present season." He had not been in favour of handicapping last year, but he thought that the circumstances of the Addington club were exceptional. Mr W. H. Atack, as one who had been in favour of the principle of handicapping from the first, seconded the motion, which was carried. This concluded the business, and a vote of thanks to the Chairman terminated the meeting. The Cup Committee met after the meeting, and added the Rev Mr Hare to their number. They will meet to-night to frame the necessary rules for the competition. It is as well for the information of clubs interested to point out that this cup is open to any club in and around Christchurch, the only condition being that they must first join the Association. It is hoped to have every thing in readiness to begin next Saturday, and any club wishing to join would help matters materially by forwarding their applications at once.

UNITED C.C. v. ADDINGTON C.C. After a fortnight's cessation of play this match was resumed on Saturday last, the two "not outs," Messrs Hartland and Ashby, facing the bowling of Wheatley and Turner. Mr Hartland was not destined to remain long, as in Wheatley's second over he played one on, and had to retire after making 43 in capital form. Ashby, however, continued much in the same style as on the previous Saturday until disposed of by a very long hop from Turner. Mr Ashby played good, sound cricket, and, curious to note, made within two of his last year's score, when he compiled 78 against the Midland Club in the opening Cup match. Mr Ross did not trouble the scorers, but favored Mr Lusk by returning a ball very softly straight back to him. T. D. Harman was, unfortunately, run out after having made one fine hit for 5. Messrs Longden and E. Cotterill now became partners, and the hitting for a time was a caution, about 40 runs being made in twenty minutes. And to make matters worse for the Addingtonians, their fielding at this time became decidedly loose. Mr Cotterill was at length bowled by Mr McGregor. No other stand was made by any one bar Mr Helmore, who put together 13 in a very lively manner. Mr Longdon at times played very good cricket, and although he gave two or three hot chances in the deep field, his "not out" contribution of 61 must be considered as a meritorious performance. The innings of the United men closed for the large total of 310. The Addington Club was first represented by Messrs W. Ogier and W. Lusk, but so far no stand of importance has been made, Mr Ross being too many for them, as his bowling analysis shows, viz., seven wickets for 39 runs. Messrs Wheatley, McGregor, and Caygill were the only men who showed anything like form. The score at present is as undermentioned with eleven wickets down, so that matters look rather blue for Addington, unless some hidden talent in the tail end develops itself. United C.C. W. V.

The chair was occupied by Mr J. HOPPER. There was a fairly numerous attendance of members, and a number of ladies were also present. Several vocal and instrumental selections were contributed during the evening, and the proceedings were concluded with a dance. The Secretary submitted the annual report, which congratulated the Club on the fairly successful results of the season, though there had been a decrease in the number of matches, owing to the unfavourable weather. The play of the Club, however, was superior to that of any previous year. Notwithstanding several drawbacks, the perseverance of the members had been rewarded by their defeating the Lancaster Park representatives (the then holders of the Challenge Cup). This was the only cup match won by the Club. In the second eleven the same want of interest had been shown as was the case with the fifteen. This eleven had, however, succeeded fairly well. The Treasurer's report showed a credit balance of £2 2s 2d, and a balance of assets over liabilities of £65 16s 2d. The report and balance-sheet were adopted unanimously.

The next item reports the Addington XV's first game won in the Senior Cup competition, against the powerful Lancaster Park lineup which had won the cup in the previous inaugural season of the Cup competition. http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi- bin/paperspast?a=d&cl=search&d=CHP18840324.2.17.2&srpos=71&e=------100- LT%2cCHP%2cTS-1-byDA-on--0%22c+taylor%22+cricket-- Press, Volume XL, Issue 5781, 24 March 1884, Page 3 LANCASTER PARK C.C. v ADDINGTON C.C. At length the efforts of the Addington men have been crowned with success, and we have much pleasure in congratulating them upon their richly deserved victory. During the last two or three months the rapid strides they have made in every department of the game has been most marked. Several of their batsmen have— by constantly playing against our best club bowlers — acquired good defence and a large amount of confidence, and this, backed up by good fielding and very much improved bowling, makes them a team not at all to be despised. The wicket at Lancaster Park on Saturday was the stickiest of the sticky we ever saw. Our readers can tolerably well understand what they were like when we inform them that no less than twenty- two wickets were disposed of in a little over two hours' actual play. McMurray and Ogier continued their innings, to the bowling of Wilding and Dunlop, and the latter, after adding one to his total, was well caught by Wilding at point. The remainder of the innings needs no description, as the batsmen were totally unable to negotiate the bowling and the innings closed for 96. McMurray played a very good steady innings, and carried his bat out for 39. The Park then began their second innings and fared about the same as in the first, as the total reached but 66, and out of this number Wilding, Pocock, Dunlop, and Taylor made 64, the remaining seven men making 2 runs between them. With 29 to win the Addington men commenced their second innings, and this they succeeded in doing with the loss of five wickets, Wheatley carrying his bat for 10. The bowling, assisted very much by the nature of the ground, was good on both sides, Dunlop doing the "hat" trick. The following are the scores:-- LANCASTER PARK. First Innings. E. C. J.

CHALLENGE CUP MATCHES. MIDLAND C.C. V. UNITED C.C. Thanks to want of practice and a dead wicket the scoring in this contest on Saturday was equally low and slow. It may be considered doubtful whether it was good policy on the Midland captain's part not to put his opponents in on winning the toss. At any rate the Midlanders made but an indifferent start so far as runs went, though they remained at the wickets during most of the afternoon. Wheatley batted well for his new comrades, and Fowke acquitted himself fairly. The others could do little with M'Dowall, who disposed of Ashby by holding a hot return. He secured six wickets for 37 runs. Only one four graced the innings, but the long grass stopped some good hits. The fielding of the United men was decidedly good. Millton and W. J. Cotteriil seemed to find no difficulty with the bowling until the latter was given out lbw--a decision which, as often happens, did not satisfy his friends. Score so far:- MIDLAND. First Innings. Buchanan, c Helmore b M'Dowall 4 Strange, run out 8 Ashby, c and b M'Dowall 7 Fowke, run out 23 Watson, b Ross 10 Barnes, c Longden b M'Dowall 1 Wheatley, not out 28 Rayner, c Cotteriil b M'Dowall 3 Cohen, c Higgins b M'Dowall 3 Barge, b M'Dowall 0 Washer, b Ross 4 Extras 3 Total 94 UNITED C.C.

The Addington men showed a distinct superiority to their enemies on Saturday, their bowling being straighter, their fielding less uneven, and their batting on the whole more effective. Wilding set his men an excellent example, which they most notably failed to follow, for though one or two, Montgomery for example, were a little unlucky, the greater part had themselves to thank for their troubles. Francis, a consistent failure for the Park, scored well against it, thanks to a good deal of mercy from the wicket-keeper. Page, who made 19, was very much lbw when he had made a few runs, but the bowler got in the umpire's line of vision, and the batsman therefore escaped. Ashby and Wilding each made a fine catch. M'Murray's analysis was remarkable, and he clean bowled all his men. Score and analysis so far:- LANCASTER PARK. First Innings. Wilding b M'Murray 31 H. Cotterill, c H. Ogier b Halley 5 W. P.

United C.C. v Midland C.C. In glorious cricket weather this match was continued on Saturday afternoon, and resulted in a win for the United on the first innings by 52. The wicket was not in first-class order, it being; occasionally very bumpy. This, however, was not the fault of the present caretaker, but of those who have during the past two years allowed the ground to be worked by incompetent men. At the present time there is hardly a square yard of turf on the Hagley Park ground that hasn't weeds in it, clearly showing neglect during the winter months. Millton, the not out man, and Longden commenced for the United, but the partnership was not destined to be of long duration, as Millton, in cutting at once of Raynor's that broke back, played on, and about the same time Wheatley clean bowled Longden. B. Harman and Higgins, however, made a good stand, with 22 and 20 respectively, and E. Cotterill and McDowall, with 14 and 15 each, and H. Mathias, with 17 (not out) all showed good form. The bowling of Washer for the Midland was undeniably good, as a glance at his analysis will show, and, as is usual with the Midland men, the fielding was quite up to the mark. Strange, in the Midlanders second innings, played a really good innings for 75 (not out), against which only one chance can be urged, and that when he had made about 39. The other batsmen who went in, with the exception of Buchanan, who made 18, did not do much. Ashby and Barnes were both stumped in running out to Ross. Should the match be finished out it would no doubt prove interesting, but as this course would throw the other Senior Clubs out, we presume it will be decided on the first innings. The scores as the game stands at present are as follows MIDLAND. First Innings 94 Second Innings. J. Wheatley, run out 1 C. Strange, not out 75 D. Ashby, st Helmore, b Ross 9 E.

The batting of the Park in the second innings was as disappointing as tame, and how upon a perfect wicket such a small number of runs were made is a mystery. W. P. Reeves and Pocock, the not out men, began very steadily, and from the confluent play of both men we certainly thought that the Addington team were out for a fair amount of leather hunting, but how quickly the hopes of the Park men were to be dashed to the ground was soon seen, when W. P. Reeves became dean bowled by McMurray, and Pocock in a few overs after was caught deep midoff from the same bowler. H. Loughnan made 10 in good style, but the remaining men formed one dreadfully mournful procession, and the innings closed for 99. The bowling and fielding of the Addingtonians was good, McMurray and Taylor especially bowling well. With 23 runs to win the match, Ogier and Francis became partners, to the bowling of Pocock and Dunlop. Francis was clean bowled by Pocock in his third over, and shortly after W. Ogier was caught off the same bowler from a "star tickler." Moorhouse and Ashby finished the game, Addington winning by twelve wickets and 3 runs. LANCASTER PARK. First innings 53 Second Innings. F.

MIDLAND v. ADDIGTON. The Addingtonians made a very respectable start on Saturday, thanks chiefly to Page and Forsyth. Page, hitherto known generally as a slogger with a good eye and wrist, played on this occasion much steadier, and consequently better, cricket than usual. Indeed, his score included no less than 23 singles, proof positive of prudence. Forsyth's left-handed cricket was more useful, perhaps, than ornamental, but not, therefore, less deserving of praise or less appreciated by his side. Moorhouse, too eager for runs, was bowled just as he was looking dangerous. Barnes and Rayner were the successful bowlers. The former, who put a good curl on his deliveries, took six wickets for 38 runs, Rayner 3 for 19. Buchanan and Fowke carried off the fielding honours. Strange was once more in good form, and enabled the Midlanders to commence their innings fairly. Score:- ADDINGTON FIFTEEN. E. Francis, b Barnes 10 W. Ashby, b Washer 5 H. Moorhouse, b Wheatley 12 H.

This match was began on Saturday at Hagley Park on a fairly good wicket. The U.C.C. went in first and made 113, R. D. Harman taking first honors with 88. He played a careful innings, and good cricket. A. Longden, with 26, comes next. He played a good innings in a pretty style. W. McDowall, with 11, and A. Chapman, 14 (not out) also obtained double figures. The latter played with a good straight bat, showing a marked improvement on his previous form. The A.C.C went in, and .had made 39 for the loss of two wickets at the call of time. L. Patterson, 23, made his runs by hitting hard. The bowling of the A.C.C. was straight, but not otherwise difficult, and their fielding was very smart, the two Ogiers being particularly noticeable. U.C.C.C. First Innings. W.V.

This match was continued at Hagley Park on Saturday, and so far appears to be almost a certain win for the A.C.C. men on the first inning, as there will not be time to play the match out. The Addington men with 39 on continued their first innings, and made 133, or 25 ahead of the U.C.C, on the first innings, Moorhouse with 35 being the top scorer. He played very good cricket; he was badly missed when he had made about 20, otherwise his innings was a capital one. L. Patterson with 26 comes next, he only put 3 more on to his score of last Saturday. W. Ogier made 16 in a very lucky manner; he was missed twice. R. Halley mode 14, not out, being missed once in the slips— a difficult chance. The U.C.C. have themselves to thank for being beaten on the first innings, their fielding being atrocious, no less than six catches being missed, the majority of them being easy ones. Fairhurst took the palm in the bowling, his analysis being five wickets for 16 runs. The U.C.C. have so for made 50 for the loss of two wickets, Millton 20, not out, and R.D.

U.C.C.C. v. A.C.C, This match was continued on Saturday in a heavy rain, at the request of the A.C.C. men. The game was started late, and will therefore be finished next Saturday. The U.C.C.C., with two wickets down for 60, continued their second innings, and compiled the respectable score of 187, of which Millton contributed 70 in a style not his own; in fact, we never saw him play such a free innings before. Of course it was his game to score fast, and he did. Longden made 26 in a very taking way, his cutting being specially good. McDowell, with 26, comes next. He played well and hard, T. D. Herman 12, not out, played well, showing something like his old form. Of the bowlers Halley was the best, taking six wickets for 41 runs. The A.C.C., in their second innings, have made 39 for the loss of six wickets, of which Halley made 14. He was the only one who got into double figures. The U.C.C.C. fielding showed a vast improvement on previous performances. With only something under thee-quarters of an hour's more play, the A.C.C. should win the match on the first innings, as they have still eight wickets to fall to play out time with.

U.C.C.C. versus A.C.C. This match, as was expected, resulted in a win on the first innings for the junior club by 25 runs. The A C.C. with six wickets down for 39 runs, continued their second innings, and had lost three more wickets at the call of time for 78 runs. Wickets fell fast at the beginning, and it looked as if the senior club might pull it off, but Page and Francis defied all the efforts of the U.C.C.C. bowlers, and carried out their bats for 25 and 9 respectively. Page played a good innings when it was wanted. After the game the A.C.C. were presented with the cup, they being the winners, having won four matches, the U.C.C.C. and M.C.C. three each, and the L.P.C. two. The presentation was made by Mr P. Wilding, as captain of the interprovincial team, in a neat speech, he complimented the A.C.C. men on their victories, and said that he thought the best team had won, their bowling and fielding being very good indeed, no matter what the weather was like. The captain of the A.C.C., Mr W. Ogier, returned on behalf of his club. U.C.C.C.— First Innings, 113, A.C.C.— First Innings, 138. U.C.C.C.— Second Innings, 187. A.C.C. Second Innings. H.

The fifth annual meeting of the Addington Cricket Club was held in St Michael's school yesterday evening. There was a good attendance of members, and the chair was token by Mr G. T. BOOTH. The Secretary. Mr M'MURRAY, read the report of the Committee, which referred to the winning of the Canterbury Cricket Association's senior challenge cup as the crowning achievement of the Club. The second eleven and the reserve had been somewhat embarrassed by the difficulty of obtaining captains. Nevertheless the latter had won 9 matches out of 11 played. The total number of matches played by the Club during the season had been 33, of which 21 had been won, as against 26 played and 11 won the previous season. The receipts for the season had been £110 13s 2d, and the expenses, £94 12s 11d, leaving a credit balance of £16 0s 3d. The Club's assets amounted to £90 2s 3d, against which there were no liabilities. The colours procured from England were found to resemble those of the United Club, and had been disposed of to that Club. The Committee recommended that cardinal and old gold should be adopted as the colours. An area of two acres had been added to the Club's ground, which now comprises 4 1/4acres, well supplied with water from two artesians. As the outlay thereby incurred would necessitate a curtailment of expenditure next season it was suggested that no trophies should be given at the expense of the Club. It was also suggested that field captains should be appointed to take charge of the field in turn, weekly, and that, with a view to curtail expenditure, the issue of small copies of the rules should be discontinued, but that an enlarged copy should be placed in the pavilion. The report concluded by acknowledging the indebtedness of the Club to its President and Founder, Mr John HOPPER. On the motion of the Chairman, seconded by Mr MOORHOUSE, the report was adopted. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year President, Mr J. HOPPER; Vice- Presidents, Messrs G. T. BOOTH, W. T. BURLEY, R. H. TURNER and J. L. SCOTT Secretary, Mr S. M'MURRAY Treasurer, Mr ROBSON; Captain of first eleven, Mr W. OGIER Captain of second eleven, Mr O. CAYGILL ; members of General Committee, Messrs R. HALLEY, R. BROWN and H. PAGE; Match Committee, Messrs S. M'MURRAY, W. OGIR and O. CAYGILL ; Auditors, Messrs M. BROWN and O. CAYGILL. After making certain alterations in the rules, and electing several new members, the meeting adjourned. http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi- bin/paperspast?a=d&cl=search&d=CHP18851002.2.21&srpos=54&e=------100-CHP%2cTS-1- byDA-on--2addington+cricket+club-- Press, Volume XLII, Issue 6252, 2 October 1885, Page 3 The Addington Cricket Club open their season on Saturday, when the following fifteen will play the remainder of the club:-Ashby, Atkinson, R.

The senior captain, Mr W. Ogier, and the vice-captain, Mr H. Page, picked sides, the former winning the toss, and batting first. It soon became apparent that tall scoring was not to be the order of the day, Turner and H. Ogier being too well on the spot. Nevertheless, several players made a long stand. Chief amongst these was Stevens, a new player, who batted very stubbornly for 11, and should, with practice, prove an acquisition to the Club. Parkyn was the only other batsman on Ogier's side to reach double figures, he being not out for 10. The innings totaled 67. The vice-captain's representatives were more successful, scoring 89 before being disposed of. Of this number, Moorhouse totted up 31 in a brilliant style, and R. Prebble 12, not out. The wicket, as on the previous Saturday, played very nicely, and Moorhouse fulfilled his duties at the wickets very creditably. The SYDENHAM C.C. played their first match on Saturday against the Papanui C.C, and won by nine runs on the first innings. The scores were Sydenham, 42 Papanui, 33. No one made a score worth mentioning, as the ground was rather rough. The Sydenham C.C. in their second innings made 52 for the loss of four wickets, of which Comer mad. 29 and Gordon 16. For Papanui, Grier, Kruse, and Creswell bowled well, as did Wiltshire and Gordon for Sydenham. The Rangiora C.C. opened the season on Saturday with a very successful game, sides being chosen by the Captain (Mr Helmore) and vice- Captain (Mr Good). The former's side proved the winners by 31 runs. http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/paperspast?a=d&d=TS18860111.1.4&e=------100--1- byDA-on--0%22l+paterson%22+cricket-- Star , Issue 5513, 11 January 1886, Page 4 CRICKET.

The Junior Cup match between the United and Addington second elevens ended on Saturday last in a win for the latter by eight wickets. The scores were United C.C., 88 and 127 Addington, 182, and 31 for two wickets. The chief scorers were Harris (48), A. Harman (47), and F. Hamilton (21), for the United whilst Forsyth (77 and 21), Dunn (40), and Lawrence (19) were mainly responsible for the Addington runs. Harman's 47, although only third on the list as regards numbers, was gained by the best play shown in the match. No great bowling feats were performed, Curtain, of Addington, being the best of the many who were tried. http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi- bin/paperspast?a=d&cl=search&d=CHP18860118.2.25.2&srpos=41&e=--1886---1886--100- CHP%2cTS-1-byDA-on--0cricket-- Press, Volume XLIII, Issue 6343, 18 January 1886, Page 3 LANCASTER PARK v ADDINGTON. This match was continued on Saturday on the Addington ground, and resulted in a win for the Park by eight wickets. The rain that fell during the night made the wicket somewhat soft. The Addington only played eleven men, and in consequence were greatly handicapped in the field. The Park having lost three wickets for 66, Reeves and Taylor, the not-outs of the previous Saturday, took their places at the wicket against the bowling of Halley and McMurray. Runs came very slowly, owing to the remarkable straightness of the bowling. Reeves was chiefly instrumental in taking the score to 90. when Taylor was smartly stumped by Moorhouse, having made 28 by less vigorous hitting than is this batsman's wont. E. C. J. Stevens filled the vacancy, but did not seem at home for the first half-dozen overs, when he settled down and scored very freely. This partnership resulted in 41 runs being added to the score, notwithstanding the Addington captain's changes in bowling. Reeves had now reached the end of his tether, being caught by Stephens off W. Ogier, and with the exception of one chance early in his innings, his display of cricket was faultless — 181— 5-52. Harley and Mountfort did not stay long, and shortly afterwards E. C. J. Stevens was bowled by Halley with a shooter, having made 26 by very good cricket. The Park's innings closed for 165, Digby being not out 11. The Addington now commenced their second innings, and although the Park had only made 25 more runs in their first attempt than the junior Club, it cost them no less than eight wickets before that score had been wiped off, the innings finally closing for a miserable score of 47, leaving the Park the small margin of 13 runs to win the match. Halley was the only batsman who stood up to the Lancastrian's bowlers, and it is undoubtedly an error of judgment on the part of the Addington captain putting him in so low down. In his first innings he went in last, and carried out his bat for a carefully played 15 and on Saturday he went in tenth man, and again carried out his bat for 9, the top score for his side. Taylor secured five wickets for 18 runs, and Dunlop four for 23. It cost the Park two wickets before the required thirteen runs were obtained. The Lancastrians have up to the present won all their matches in the Senior Cup contests. Appended are the scores:- LANCASTER PARK. First Innings. Second Innings. F. Wilding, lbw, b McMurray 12 W.

There was a large attendance, and the President, Mr John HOPPER, presided. The Hon Secretary, Mr S. M'MURRAY, read the report of the Committee, which stated that at the commencement of the season the Club was in a position to place four teams in the field, and one of those a 13. The senior team were altogether out of the running for the Cup, but the second eleven were very successful in contesting for the junior Cup, only being thrown out in the final match by ROWE's Lancaster Park team. With regard to the reserve teams, they played eight matches, winning four and drawing one. There were not many chances for the two senior teams to play outside matches, the Saturdays being so fully occupied by the Cup contests. However, they were enabled to meet the Ashburton C.C. on Nov. 10, and send teams to Leeston and Little River, playing those Clubs on Dec. 16 and Jan. 2 respectively. The total number of matches played during the season was 31. Of this number there were 15 won, 3 drawn, and 13 lost. The receipts amounted to £94 16d, and the expenditure £93 4s 6d. The assets amounted to £66, and liabilities £10 5s. Against the liabilities, however, the sum of £13 4s can be placed, being subscriptions, &c, unpaid. During the season a new piece of ground had been prepared, entailing considerable expense. The annual social gathering was held in St Michael's schoolroom with great success, and at it the Challenge Cup was presented to the United C.C.C. by the Hon E. C. J. STEVENS. In the early part of August an effort was made to increase the funds by holding a concert and ball in the Oddfellows' Hall, Lichfield street, but the weather militated greatly against success. It was intended, had there been a handsome balance, to build a new pavilion, but this work will be postponed. The report concluded by acknowledging the immense assistance rendered by the President. The election of officers resulted as follows President, Mr John HOPPER (re-elected); Vice-Presidents, Hon E. C. J. STEVENS, Messrs A. E, G. RHODES, J. FORRESTER, G. T. BOOTH, E. H. TURNER, and W.T.

The seventh annual general meeting of the above Club was held in St Michael's schoolroom last evening. There was a large attendance of members, and the President, Mr John HOPPER, occupied the chair. The annual report was read and adopted. The report commented on the play of the senior eleven, and condemned the over-anxiety on behalf of several of the senior members to win the Junior Cup. It also recommended the Club to again apply for a handicap of two men in the Senior Cup Matches. Altogether there were 25 matches played, of which 13 were won and 12 lost. Foreign matches were few, Little River, North Dunedin, and the Grange Clubs being the only foreign teams met. The highest single innings total reached was 341, against the Lyttelton C.C. The lowest total was 55 for nine wickets against the United C.C. The highest score recorded against them was 289 by the Midland Club, and the highest individual score was 120, made by Duckmanton against St Albans on Jan. 22. The receipts amounted to £88 0s 4d, all of which was spent. There was a sum of £19 3s outstanding for subscriptions, &c. The assets were valued at £63, against which there liabilities to the extent of £23 12s 3d. The report concluded by eulogising the services rendered by the President. Several new members were elected, and the following officers appointed for the ensuing season President, Mr John HOPPER ; Vice-Presidents, Hon E. C. J. STEVENS, Messrs G. T. BOOTH, W. T. BURLEY, R.

Midland v Addington Fifteen. A good sprinkling of spectators visited the Hagley Park Ground to witness the above contest between the Midland Club, the winners of the Senior Challenge Cup of last year, and the Addington Fifteen. Barnes, having won the toss, accompanied Buchanan to the wickets, against the bowling of McMurray and Halley. With the score at 11 McMurray bowled Buchanan, and two runs later Barnes was run out when he appeared nicely set, Ashby partnered Wheatley, but the latter batsman was smartly stumped by Ogier, with the score at 20. Garrard put his leg in front with the score still unchanged, and G. Rayner joined Ashby, who shortly afterwards was caught by Bush off Halley, having made 11 by very good cricket. On the appearance of Page runs came quickly, and the score had reached 45 when Halley bowled Rayner for a very free innings of 14, including one 5 and a 4. None of the other Midlanders showed any form against the junior club's bowling, and their innings closed for the small score of 60, which can only be attributed to the want of practice on the part of the Midland Club, for the team on paper seems an uncommonly good one in the batting department. The wicket played very truly, and Addington's fielding was perhaps a shade above the average. The wickets were pretty evenly divided amongst the bowlers. Bush, who was put on at the last over, secured two wickets for 1 run. When the Midlanders took the field Turner and W. Ogier went to the wickets to do battle for Addington. The latter batsman did not stay long, for he was caught and bowled by Garty and Atkinson filled the vacancy, and both batsmen played with extreme caution. At 19 Turner was bowled by Garty for 11. McMurray, together with Atkinson, brought the score to 40, when the former player through a smart piece of fielding on the part of Wheatley was run out with 12 to his credit made by steady play. Bush joined Atkinson, who was playing very carefully, and commenced, hitting out in all directions. After being missed twice he was eventually secured by Wheatley off Rayner, having made 13 in pretty quick time. Four for 58, and Halley appeared on the scene. Eleven runs later and Atkinson came to the end of his tether, being bowled by Ashby after having played a very steady and careful innings for 23. Brown made 8 before being bowled by Rayner, and soon after time was called, Halley carrying out his bat for a nicely played 17. Rayner was the most successful bowler, securing three wickets for 18. Seldom have spectators witnessed a more miserable exhibition of fielding in a first eleven team than was displayed by the Midlanders — with a very few exceptions— on Saturday, and it is to be hoped they will improve in this very important department of the game as the season grows older.

LILLYWHITE'S TEAM V CANTERBURY. This match takes place on Lancaster Park on March 26th, 27th, and 28th. The following have been selected by Mr A. M. Ollivier to do battle on behalf of Canterbury E. P. Barnes R. Halley W. J. Crawshaw H. R. Mathias L. A. Cuff R. B. Mathias D. Dunlop T. McDonald J. Fowke H. Ogier W. Frith W. P. Reeves C. Garrard H. Reeves R. D. Harman W. Studholme A. Labatt F. Wilding. This team has been selected from the Lancaster Park Club which has no less than nine representatives, United four, Midland three, and Addington two. Barnes, M.C.C. — A good all-round man. Has represented Canterbury for several years, and in the match against Australia last year was top scorer with 14 and his two innings. A steady bowler to keep down runs, and in the slips, his favorite place, has not an equal. Crawshaw, L.P.C. — Canterbury's most reliable bat. Played for Canterbury ever since he has resided in Christchurch. In the match Canterbury v Australia he made 20 and 2, and is in grand form with the bat this season. A good field. Cuff, L.P.C.— One of the doubtful men of the team. Occasionally bowls a good ball, and fields welL Dunlop, L.P.C.— Is in as good form as ever with the leather, and Canterbury's most reliable trundler. Has been most unfortunate with the bat this season. At point he has few equals. Fowke, L.P.C. — The wicket-keeper of the team, in which position he generally gives a good account of Himself. A steady bat, but has not done much this season. Frith, L.P.C. — A good left-hand bowler, with splendid length, and hard to score off when on the dot. A most brilliant field, but most erratic in the batting department, having completely lost the defence he had some years ago. Garrard, M.CC. — A fair bat and bowler, but has a tendency to foolishly run himself out. Harman, U.C.C.— A very steady and painstaking batsman. His innings of 21 against the Australians last year is still fresh in the memories of all cricketers. Labatt, L.P.C.— The colt of the team is a good bat, and trundles fairly well. A sure catch. Represents Canterbury for the first time. Halley, A.C.C.— A fair left-hand bowler, and on a wicket that suits him is difficult to play. A fair bat. H. R. Mathias, U.C.C.— A good bat, and likely to make runs. He played a brilliant innings against the Australians for 29 runs, when he was run out. Fields well. R. B. Mathias, U.C.C.— A doubtful man, but scores last. Has made some good scores for his club this season. An erratic but somewhat lucky bowler. Fields splendidly in the long field. McDonald, M.C.C.— Represents Canterbury for the first time. Has a somewhat stubborn defence. Hits hard, and at long off and long-leg has few equals. H. Ogier, A.C.C.— A good wicket-keeper, second only to Fowke, has made some good scores lately, but not reliable against first class bowling. W. P. Reeves, L.P.C.— A sterling good bat, and, with Crawshaw, shares the batting honors of the team; is in good form, and is one of Canterbury's oldest representatives. A fair field, but is somewhat unfortunate in his running between the wickets. H. Reeves, L.P.C. — Like his elder brother is a good bat, and has a strong defence. When a few summers are over his head he will score faster. His first representative match. A poor field, but is improving. Studholme, U.C.C.— Has played for his College in England. Has made some sensational scores this season, and hits very hard. Bowls with good length and a good field. Wilding, L.P.C. — A good all-round man, has been unfortunate with the bat this season, chiefly owing to his having taken liberties with second class bowling; but when pitted against good bowling invariably scores well. He made 28 and 14 against the Australians last year. Generally gets wickets and a brilliant point. The above players will practice as usual on Friday evening. After practice the team will meet to elect their captain. ARRIVAL OF LILLY WHIIE'S TEAM. [PRESS ASSOCIATION TELEGRAM.] , March 12. The Hauroto, from , with Lilywhite's English cricketing team, did not arrive until 4.30 this afternoon. The amateur members of the team are guests at the Wellington Club. It has been arranged that the match against the local Twenty-two shall be played to-morrow and Saturday, commencing at 11.30 a.m. http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi- bin/paperspast?a=d&cl=search&d=CHP18880906.2.46&srpos=77&e=------100-CHP%2cTS-1- byDA-on--2addington+cricket+club-- Press, Volume XLV, Issue 7146, 6 September 1888, Page 6 ADDINGTON CRICKET CLUB. The annual general meeting of the above Club was held at Warner's Commercial Hotel last evening. There was a fair attendance of members. The Hon. E. C. J. STEVENS presided. The annual report and balance-sheet, which were read and adopted, stated that the Club had been fairly successful. The Senior Cup team made a capital start, and it was thought that the Club would once more possess the Challenge Cup. There were not many outside matches played, although the Club managed to satisfy a long-expressed desire, viz., to send a team to Dunedin. Two matches were played in that city, one against the Grange C.C. on the Ground, the other against the Phoenix on the Caledonian Ground. They were one day matches, and were both lost. The annual matches with Little River were played and thoroughly enjoyed. The principal drawback of the season was the non-payment of subscriptions. The liabilities of the Club were £15 10s 4d, against which there were outstanding subscriptions to the value of £37 12s. The assets were valued at £45. It was decided that the Senior subscription should be 30s, and that Juniors under eighteen years of age would be admitted for 15s. The election of officers resulted as follows:— President, Mr John HOPPER (re-elected); Vice- Presidents, Hon. E. C. J. STEVENS, Messrs A. E. G. RHODES and W. P. REEVE, M.H.R.'s, G. BOOTH, W. T. CURLEY [HURLEY?]and Walter JOHNSON ; Hon. Sec, Mr J. A. CAYGILL ; Hon. Treasurer, Mr A. G. ASHBY; General Committee, President, Vice-Presidents, Secretary, Treasurer, Messrs A. DIXON, R. HALLEY, E.

STEVENS, Messrs HALLEY and MCMURRAY; Junior Match Committee, Messrs SNEDDON, ASHBY and KINSMAN; Association Delegates, Messrs A. G. ASHBY and J. A. CAYGILL; Auditors, Messrs SNEDDON and MCMURRAY. It was decided to contest the Senior Cup with fifteen men. A hearty vote of thanks to the Chairman and retiring officers terminated the proceedings. http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi- bin/paperspast?a=d&cl=search&d=TS18880906.2.44&srpos=192&e=-04---09---100-CHP%2cTS- 101-byDA-on--0%22domain+board%22++cricket-- Star , Issue 6336, 6 September 1888, Page 4 Addington Cricket Club. ANNUAL MEETING. The eighth annual meeting of the Addington Cricket Club was held at the Commercial Hotel at 8 p.m. yesterday. There was a fair attendance, and the Hon E. C. J. Stevens, Vice-President, was in the chair. The report of the Committee reviewed the work of the season, which, from a cricketing point of view, had been very successful. The Senior Cup team had played six cup matches, winning four with ease. The Junior teams, however, had not come up to expectation. The only drawback of the season had been the nonpayment of subscriptions. The Committee suggested that the subscription for senior members should be increased to 30s per annum, and that for junior members under eighteen years of age to 15s per annum. This increase would be absolutely necessary, for the Government having stopped the subsidy granted to the Domain Board, the Board had decided to charge rent for all ground occupied by cricketers and footballers. The balance sheet showed a deficiency of L15 10s 4d, and in order to wipe this off the Committee suggested that a concert should be held during October. The Committee desire to heartily thank the President, Mr Hopper, for his munificence to the Club, of which he was the founder and, so to speak, the backbone. The report concluded by expressing regret at the loss sustained by the Club through the departure from Christchurch of Messrs O. Caygill, T. Brown, and C. Turner. The report was adopted, and it was decided to consider the balance-sheet at a future meeting. The recommendations of the Committee as to increasing the subscriptions were adopted, and it was decided that the annual subscription for honorary members should be 10s. It was agreed that the captains of the various elevens should be elected by their respective elevens. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year:-- President, Mr John Hopper (re-elected) j Vice-Presidents, Hon E. C. J. Stevens, Messrs A. E. G. Rhodes, M.H.R., W. P. Reeves, M.H.R., W. Johnston, W. T. Burley, and G. T. Booth; Hon Secretary, Mr J. A. Caygill ; Hon Treasurer, Mr A. G. Ashby ; General Committee, Messrs A. Dixon, R. Sneddon, S. M'Murray, R. Halley, and E. Kinsman; Senior Match Committee, President and Secretary ex officio, Hon E..C. J. Stevens, Messrs Halley and M'Murray; Junior Match Committee, President and Secretary ex officio, with Messrs Kinsman, Sneddon, and Ashby; delegates to Association, Messrs Caygill and Ashby; Auditors, Messrs Sneddon and M'Murray. It was decided to apply for a handicap of four players so as to be allowed to play fifteen— in the Senior Cup matches of the coming season. A vote of thanks to the Chairman terminated the meeting. http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi- bin/paperspast?a=d&cl=search&d=TS18881105.2.49.1&srpos=234&e=------100-CHP%2cTS- 201-byDA-on--0ashley+county+cricket-- Star , Issue 6387, 5 November 1888, Page 4 SENIOR CUP MATCHES. Cricketers on Saturday were again favoured with fine weather and good wickets, and some first-class cricket resulted in the senior matches at Hagley Park. The Midland Eleven set to work to work off the somewhat largo total of 175 scored against them by the Lancastrian Fifteen a fortnight ago, and as the wicket and turf was true, if a trifle slow, they more than attained their object, the score sheets showing at the call of time 213 for eight wickets. Rayner was responsible for 68 of this number, obtained by splendid cricket. The following are the scores:- Lancaster Park Fifteen. First Innings.., 175 MIDLAND. First Innings. W.

Addington Thirteen.The above game was advanced another stage at Hagley Park, and although the Addingtonians at the start seemed a good deal to the bad, their determined batting, and their opponents' second-rate bowling in the second innings, has again turned the game into a fairly even and interesting one. At the close of the first day's play, the game stood Addington, first innings, 84; United, three wickets down for 71. The latter team continued their innings, and when Wood, the last man, was got rid of, the total had reached 152, or 68 on. At the close of the day's play, the Addington men had totaled 112 for the loss of five wickets. Out of this number the Hon E. C. J. Stevens scored 39 before being run out. He let out right and left, thoroughly exposed the weak character of the opposing bowling, and played surprisingly good cricket, U.C.C.C. First lnnings. A. Longden, run out 24 E. D.

SENIOR CUP MATCHES. LANCASTER PARK ELEVEN V ADDINGTON THIRTEEN. This match, which is to decide who shall be the winners of the Senior Challenge Cup, was commenced on Saturday at Lancaster Park. The weather was everything that could be desired, and the wicket was simply perfect. McMurray having won the toss from Wilding, took advantage of the splendid wicket prepared by French, and commenced the attack by sending in S. Forsyth and E. C. J. Stevens. Cuff started the bowling, and Labatt trundled at the north end. In the latter's first over he clean bowled Stevens, and Atkinson filled the vacancy. Both batsmen played steadily, and the score had increased to 34 before Forsyth was well caught in the long field by C. Ridley, who was fielding substitute. The outgoing batsman had played very fair cricket for his score of 18, but his play on the leg side was decidedly streaky. W. Ogier joined Atkinson, bat was run out after contributing 9, the ball being well taken by Fowke. 50— 3— 9. Halley followed, and Atkinson was immediately bowled by North. Caygill was the next comer, and ran himself out very foolishly before he had scored. Five for 50, and White partnered Halley. The latter opened his account by driving Labatt hard to the on for a quartette, while White was particularly sweet on Cuffs off balls. With the score at 73 Halley was bowled off his toes by Cuff for a well played 18. Most of his runs he got by driving, and at the same time showed a fairly good defence. The stand of the innings was made when H. Ogier joined White. The former played a most cautious game, and was satisfied with singles, whilst his smaller companion hit out right merrily, and was chiefly instrumental in bringing the score to 136 before he was well caught by Cant at third man off North. White only gave two very difficult chances behind the wickets, and his score of 45 was the outcome of really good cricket. He was enthusiastically applauded by both opponents and supporters for his really good display of cricket. McMurray was caught by Labatt off DeMaus, and H. Ogier fell a victim to the same bowler. His score of 23 was composed chiefly of singles, and obtained by very steady cricket The innings shortly afterwards closed for 147. The Park men fielded splendidly, but the reliable bowlers were not seen to advantage, and two of the colts of the team scored the best averages. Cuff completely over-bowled himself and in consequence had neither length nor spin. With forty-five minutes to spare the Park men went to the wickets, and were represented by Cuff and Marshall, Halley and McMurray taking charge of the leather. With the score at 23 both batsmen were dismissed, and Labatt and North played out time, the score standing at 32 for two wickets. Appended are the scores:— ADDINGTON THIRTEEN. First Innings. E. C. J.

SENIOR CUP MATCHES. FINAL MATCH. LANCASTER PARK ELEVEN v ADDDINGTON THIRTEEN. This deciding match for the possession of the Cup was resumed on Saturday at the Park, the weather being fine and the cricket good. The game stood from the previous Saturday - Addington, first innings, 147, and Lancaster Park two wickets down for 32. Labatt and North, the two not outs, faced Halley and McMurray, and played very steadily for a few overs, when Halley bowled North off his pads. 38— 3— 6. Wilding joined Labatt, who was showing his best form, but with three runs added the Park skipper was well caught by W. Forsyth at mid-on without scoring. 41- 4-0. W. P. Reeves stayed for a few overs, but Halley bowled him with one of his very fast yorkers before he had settled down. 50— 5— 3. The hopes of Addington were now high, and it looked as if the Park would be in a large minority on the first innings, the fielding being keen and the bowling very straight. DeMaus joined Labatt, and to these two must be awarded the honors of making the best stand in the match. Both players settled down to work, DeMaus playing especially steady, whilst Labatt put the wood on in earnest to anything that was at all loose. The score mounted up rapidly, and despite the numerous changes of the bowling, it seemed probable that they would pass the Addington score. Frith, McMurray, Ogier, Atkinson, and Caygill all tried to dislodge the batsmen, but it was not till Labatt hit a very long hop from Atkinson to Halley at point and was very well "taken. Labatt had played one of the best innings for 67 we have yet seen him play, and fully confirms our previous remark that he is the best all-round man m Canterbury. He did not give any distinctly easy chance, although he might have been caught twice, once at the wicket and also at point. The partnership had produced 85 runs, and the telegraph showed 135— 6— 67. Upon Jones joining De Maus, another short stand was made, principally by the exertions of De Maus, who was now batting more freely. With the total at 152 Jones was given out, caught at midwicket by Ogier off Halley— 152— 7— 7. Cant joined De Maus, and a few more runs were added to the total, which had now passed the Addington score. Cant at last poked one up to short square leg, and was well caught by Stevens— l63-8-7. H. M. Reeves was next, and although greatly out of form managed to make 5 before he was well taken by H. Ogier at the wickets off Caygill. Fowke joined De Maus, and between them increased the score to 180 before De Maus played one from Caygill on to his wicket. The retiring batsman had made 42 by capital cricket, and although he gave one or two chances his Innings was a very good and serviceable one to his side. He possesses what is wanting in the majority of our colts, patience and a good defence. A score is almost sure to come if our younger players will master this one necessary. The score closed for 180, or 33 ahead of Addington. The fielding throughout had been decidedly good. With about half an hour's time to play, Addington sent in A. White and W. Forsyth to face the bowling of Cuff and North, but as both bowlers were well on the spot, have lost four wickets for 42. White was bowled by an easy straight one from North— 6— 1— 1. W Ogier was next, and almost immediately skied one to W. P. Reeves, at third man, which was held— 10— 2— l. Halley joined Forsyth, and with two runs added Cuff bowled him with a good one— 12— 3— 2. Frith was next and was soon busy, but in playing back at a straight one knocked his wicket down as well as being bowled— 22— 4— 3. Ashby joined Forsyth, who was contented to keep his wicket up, and chiefly through his agency the score was taken to 42 for four wickets at call of time. Addington are now 9 runs on, and have four wickets down, so there is every prospect of a very close and interesting match. There was a very fair attendance of the public, including a number of ladies; and, no doubt, next Saturday, when the match will be continued, there will be a large number of spectators to see the finish of the deciding Cup match between these two teams.

LANCASTER PARK v. ADDINGTON ThIRTEEN The curtain fell upon the present season's Senior Cap matched at Lancaster Park on Saturday, when the Lancastrians were returned easy winners of the trophy by seven wickets. There can be no doubt but that the best team in the field during the season won the game, and no true lover of cricket grudges them their position. Saturday's play was not of a sort calculated to bring the wandering sheep of cricket patrons back to 'the' fold, as we cannot remember an afternoon of cricket that was characterised by slower or more uninteresting play. The whole afternoon was occupied in the compilation of 112 runs in all, which fact will give anyone an idea of the stonewall character of the play. At the start the game stood Addington, first innings, 147; second innings, four out for 42. Park, first innings, 180. A good hit of M'Murray's was the cause of the finish of the innings, as Lightband tried to turn a comfortable three into an impossible four, and was softly run out, the innings closing at 95 or 62 on. To wipe off this deficit, Fowke and De Maus came in and took strike to Halley and M'Murray. The bowling was distinctly good, and with 7 on Fowke sought shelter in the pavilion, bowled by a good one from M'Murray. Labatt joined the colt, and the partnership which had proved so successful in the first innings was again arranged. Slow play followed, but although a difficult chance or two was missed the score slowly mounted. At 37 M'Murray got a beauty past Labatt, who retired for 20 obtained in his characteristic style. Marshall was next, and by De Maus' efforts 40 appeared. Then came the acme of uninteresting play. Addington were bowling and fielding their utmost, and the batsmen seemed quite contented to stop where they were till the millenium if possible without scoring. Over after over was sent down without a single run being scored, and a positive sigh of relief was heard round the ground when one of the Umpires shouted a no-ball against W. Ogier. Soon after the wicket-keeper let one of Halley's go, and the storm of cheering that hailed the consequent three byes was something to be remembered. At 49 Marshall was snapped up by W. Ogier at mid-on, and Cuff came in with evident instructions to force the pace. He found the bowling too good for some time, however, and another three for byes was the principal agent in keeping the spectators from going home for some time. At last, however, he got fairly on to a leg ball of Halley's and four were run, and the game ended as above stated. Scores:— Addington, first innings ...147 Second Innings. A. White, b North 1 W.

The attendance of members was not large, and Mr HOPPER (President) occupied the chair. He explained the nature of the business, which was to take into consideration the recommendation of the Committee of the Club in reference to the proposals made by the Hagley Park Ground Committee for the Addington Club to play during the coming season on the old Association ground. The Chairman said the Committee reported in a favorable manner as to the proposal, and recommended that arrangements be entered into to carry it into effect. This step has been mainly brought about by the action of the Domain Board, charging Clubs playing on Hagley Park an annual rental of £2 per acre, which has proved a great drawback to the Clubs interested and he deemed it desirable in the interest of the Addington Club to accept the proposals. At present they were in a sound condition as regards finances, but if they continued to occupy their present ground under the heavy rental, it was not to be expected that they would come out at the end of next season in the same state. The proposal of the Hagley Park Ground Committee was that the Addington Club should occupy that portion of the ground lately vacated by the College, and have the services of the caretaker and the use of the U.C.C. pavilion for the sum of £25 per annum. After some discussion on the matter it was proposed by Mr CAYGILL and seconded by Mr MCMURRAY, "That the recommendation of the Committee be agreed to and that arrangements be at once made for the Addington Cricket Club occupying next season a portion of the Association ground," which was carried. The Chairman said under the new arrangements the Club had every prospect of maintaining its present position, and as they would start clear of debt he predicted a successful season. This was all the business, and the usual vote of thanks to the Chairman terminated the meeting. http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi- bin/paperspast?a=d&cl=search&d=TS18890923.2.64&srpos=94&e=------100-CHP%2cTS-1- byDA-on--2addington+cricket+club-- Star , Issue 6656, 23 September 1889, Page 4 CRICKET CLUBS. ADDINGTON. The annual meeting of the Addington Cricket Club was held at Warner's Hotel on Saturday night. There was a fair attendance, and Mr HOPPER, President, occupied the chair. The following report was read by the Secretary, Mr CAYGILL:--: "ln presenting their annual report, your Committee are not aware of any special features in last season's cricket calling for particular mention. The senior team, after one or two close and hard-fought matches, obtained the position of second place for the Challenge Cup, but in the final match the Lancaster Park team proved too strong and were again returned as winners of the trophy. The quantity of cricket obtained by the senior team was anything but satisfactory, and as all the Clubs suffered alike in this respect, we think the Association might well give their attention to this matter, and devise some amendment. The Junior Cup matches furnished ample employment for the remaining members of the Club, but neither of our teams were successful in obtaining the honour of first place. As several of these Cap matches fell through during the season for want of players, we would suggest that it is a question for the Clubs, and also for the Association, whether so many teams should be entered for the Cup. Neither our own players nor those of other Clubs like to be bound to a fixture for two Saturdays, which they are morally certain must fall through. The membership of the Club during the season was up to the usual standard, but your Committee are sure that all the members of the Club will regret to learn that since the close of the season we have lost one who has been so long and intimately associated with the Club as Mr William OGIER. Since the close of last season the Club has made arrangements for leaving its present ground, and making its ground on what is known as the old ground. It is with great regret that this step has been taken. The ground was first taken up by the Club some years ago. It was rough, unformed, and like the rest of the Park, a mere sheep walk. By dint of great sacrifices and exertions, and no little generosity from some, sufficient money was raised to lay it down as a cricket ground, and from year to year to add reclamations from the wilderness, and make various improvements. But with additional expenses imposed upon the Club, the question has become whether we should sink under the burden of the ground, or sever the old associations and seek a home elsewhere. The Ground Committee of the Hagley Park ground offered us a location on very reasonable terms, and the Club, at a special meeting, endorsed the recommendation of your Committee that those terms be accepted. The Club, therefore, will have a new home for the coming season, but your Committee are confident that the new arrangement will afford the means of better cricket to all the members, and will relieve the officers from the financial embarrassments under which the Club has latterly laboured. As the Treasurer's report will show, we cannot yet start with a credit balance, or even a clean sheet, but under the new arrangement we trust that we shall be able to clear ourselves during the ensuing year, and that the members will have less cause to complain of the ground arrangements. Your Committee retire with the sincere wish that the 'old gold and cardinal' may enter upon a season of financial and cricket success. The balance-sheet showed receipts £76 5s 2d, and left a balance of £1 15s 11d. The Hon E. C. J. STEVENS moved the adoption of the report and balance-sheet. The motion was carried unanimously. Several new members were balloted into the Club. The following were elected to hold office daring the coming season:-- President, Mr HOPPER; Vice-Presidents, Hon E. C. J. STEVENS, Messrs W.P. REEVES, A. E. G. RHODES, W.T. BURLEY, G. T. BOOTH, and W. JOHNSON; Secretary, Mr CAYGILL; Treasurer, Mr ATKINSON; Committee, Messrs AASHBY, HALLEY, M'MURRAY, KINSMAN, and OGIER. Senior Match Committee The President, Secretary, and Messrs HALLEY, M'MURRAY and STEVENS. Junior Match Committee, Messrs MALLOCK, — ROBSON and KINSMAN. Auditors Messrs M'MURRAY and SNEDDON. Association Delegates Messrs J. A. CAYGILL and A. ATKINSON. Several alterations in the rules were agreed to. It was also decided that a team from the Addington Cricket Club should visit Wellington during Christmas week. The members present decided on making an attempt to have the Interprovincial matches played on Hagley Park in future, so that cricket might become more popular. It was decided not to ask the Association for a handicap this season, but to play with eleven men. The usual votes of thanks closed the meeting. http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/paperspast?a=d&d=TS18891021.1.4&e=------100- CHP%2cTS-301-byDA-on--0senior+cup+cricket-- Star , Issue 6680, 21 October 1889, Page 4 UNITED v. ADDINGTON. At Hagley Park the United met Addington upon a very fair and fast wicket. The United men batted first, R. D. Harman and Longden facing Halley and M'Murray. The scoring at first was very fast both bowlers, Halley in particular, coming in for great punishment. At 18 however, Longden was caught by Slater off M'Murray for 0, and made way for A. Harman, and the score was taken to 23 before another wicket fell. Halley then steadied down a bit and 7 wickets were captured for 96. Tait and Smith then got together and made a fair stand, and when Wood stopped a straight one from Halley with his leg the total stood at 158. Of these Tait and Mathias claimed 28 each. Tait showed a glimpse of his form of a couple of seaaon's ago and played a really good innings. Mathias hit out right and left for his runs and did not take long to put them together. Smith promises to be an acquisition to the first Eleven ranks, as his 20 not out was the outcome of very fair cricket. Dick Harman and E. J. Cotterill scored 13 each, the former falling a victim to a regular 'hummer" from Halley, and the latter, as usual, getting his walking ticket through his impatience. Wood, the last man, was shaping well when he was dismissed, and it is quite evident that the old Club has got together a very good all-round batting team. After the wicket had been rolled, the Hon Stevens and Slater started batting to the trundling of Rolleston and Wood. The former was soon dismissed lbw. 10— 1— 8. M'Murray was next, and quickly got a, brace and a three, but then returned one to A. Harman, who had relieved Rolleston. 19— 2— 5. Atkinson and Slater played out time without further disaster, the total standing at 22 for the loss of two wickets. Scores:- UNITED. First innings, R. D. Harman, b Halley 13 A.

This match was continued on Saturday. The game the previous Saturday stood UC.C. 158, A.C.C. 22 for two wickets down. The A.C.C. continued batting, but made no stand against their opponents' bowling, the innings closing for 55, J. A. Caygill 16 being the only batsman able to play the bowling. His innings was a good one, and included a grand drive for 5. After a short interval the A.C.C. being 103 runs behind on the first innings followed on, and did remarkably well owing to the fine bating of E. C. J. Stevens and J. A. Caygill. The former made 46, and punished the loose bowling of the U.C.C.C, his driving and cutting being first class. The latter made 48. This batsman has never played such a good.innings before, and if he goes on as well as he has begun will do great things this season. Halley 13 and Ogier 15 also played well for their runs. The U.C.C.C. fielding was very loose, and their bowling much better. Rolleston was the best of the bowlers. The following are the scores:- First innings 158 ADDINGTON C.C. First Innings. E.C J.

The Senior Cup matches were advanced another stage on Saturday, and the two unfinished games between the Midland and Lancaster Park Elevens, and the United and Addington Elevens were concluded. The first heat bas resulted in wins for the Midland, the United, and the Lancaster Park Fifteen; and the defeat of the Lancaster Park Eleven, the Addington, and the Ashley County. Below are given brief detail and scores of the two matches concluded on Saturday..... … ..UNITED v. ADDINGTON. The old Club easily pulled through at the finish by eight wickets, although owing to a little spirited defence on the part of the Addington tail end, they had 72 to get in their second innings before being enabled to claim a victory. With seven wickets down for 145 Addington resumed their second innings, and the total was taken to 174 before the last men left. Scores: ADDINGTON. First innings .55 Second Innings.

LITTLE RIVER. The annual match between the above Clubs was played at Little River on Boxing Day and resulted in a win for the Addingtonians. The weather was fine but the wicket so terribly treacherous that a batsman's life was anything but a happy one wicket keeping an impossibility, and good fielding entirely out of the question. As a consequence the 1 scoring on both sides was small, in fact so email on the kittle River side that they, we think, have established a record for this season however, it would be decidedly unfair to attribute this entirely to the wicket, for without a doubt the magnificent bowling of Halley and M'Murray was the chief cause. Both trundlers were in wonderful form, and from the figures quoted below it may be taken for granted that their deliveries meant destruction. For the local Club Tyson, Joblin and Joe Reynolds bowled well, the former doing the hat trick in fine style. After the match rain came on which mitigated greatly against the success of a concert given by the visitors in the Maori hall. It is not often we hear of cricket teams giving concerts, every item of which is provided by the team, but such was the case in this instance, and if rapturous applause be any criterion, those who were fortunate enough to form the audience were exceedingly well pleased with the entertainment. The team returned to town on Friday morning, well pleased with their double success. The following are the scores and analyses LITTLE RIVER. First innings; Second innings. J. Tyson, c H.

A special general meeting of members of the Canterbury Cricket Association was held at the rooms of the Y.M.C.A. last evening. There was a large attendance, and the chair was occupied by the President, Mr W. H. Wynn-Williams. The dispute re the awarding of the match, Lancaster Park v Addington, to the former team on the ground of the latter being late on the held was first taken. The following letter was read from Mr F. Wilding, who wrote under date 28th Inst: — "My Dear Condell, I do not intend to be present at the special meeting of the Association convened for to-night. In accordance with the unanimous desire of cricketers present at the meeting held last spring, the Match Committee have endeavoured to aid in the revival of cricket in Canterbury by enforcing the rules compelling punctuality in starting play, and also by continuing Cup matches the only properly organised cricket we ever get— until the close of the legitimate season. The facts upon which the Match Committee have acted in two matters proposed to be discussed tonight have been misunderstood, I trust not wilfully, by certain members of the two Clubs, who have not hesitated to impute partiality to myself and one or other of my colleagues, and our decisions have been practically set at defiance. Such being the case, whatever the meeting to-night may decide, I do not see my way to continue to serve on either the Match Committee or General Committee, with any pleasure to myself, or any prospect of serving cricket. Yours faithfully, F. Wilding." A protest was put in, signed by eleven members, under rule 172 of the Association, and it was requested that the Association inquire into the decision of the Match Committee on the match between the Lancaster Park Eleven and the A.C.C. Eleven. Mr Caygill contended that the Addington Club knew nothing about the decision until the match had been awarded to Lancaster Park. He complained that the Addington Club had got no hearing in the matter. He moved— "That the action of the. Senior Cup Match Committee, in awarding the match, Lancaster Park v Addington,, to the Lancaster Park team, be not approved by this meeting." Mr McMurray seconded the motion, and a long and animated debate then took place In which conflicting statements were made by either side. It was admitted by the seconder of the motion that the Addington team had been late on the occasions complained of. Mr Caygill asked leave to add to his motion the words "and that the Selection Committee be requested to resign." He intended then after the new Committee was elected to follow it up with another resolution to the effect that the Committee then reconsider the whole question. Mr T. D. Condell pointed out that it was admitted that the Addington team was late on the two days in question. The Selection Committee having decided to enforce the rule on the fact being proved, and no steps having been taken at the proper time to oppose the enforcement of the rule, it would be unfair to pass a severe vote of censure, such as the motion implied, upon the Committee. Mr A. M. Ollivier said that as Mr Caygiil intended to press his motion he would move an amendment. He was a member of the Sub-Committee of the Association, but he would not remain in such a position so long as a resolution as that proposed by Mr Caygill remained on the books. He deprecared the feeling that had been introduced, and said it was unfair of the Addington Club to impute motives. He moved as an amendment— "That this meeting regrets the Addington Club have taken the action they have done in the matter." The addition to Mr Caygill's motion was not accepted. Mr Ollivier's amendment being ruled out of order, he moved a further amendment— "That this meeting declines to Interfere with the decision of the Match Committee." Mr Cuff seconded the amendment. After consultation between the Chairman, Mr Caygill, the Hon.E.C. J. Stevens and Mr Ollivier, it was agreed that the following should be substituted for Mr Caygill's motion--" That the Match Committee be requested to reconsider their decision re the Lancaster Park-Addington match, and that both Clubs hereby agree to abide by their ultimate decision." This motion was unanimously adopted. The Chairman In reply to Mr Ollivier said that owing to the Caledonian sports meeting, and football match with Wellington, Otago would be unable to play a team from Canterbury at Easter, but could play a team on the 7th and 8th of March. Several speakers advocated that efforts should be made to send a team to Dunedin for that date. Mr Ollivier moved— "That the late Match Committee be requested to choose a team to go to Dunedin. He had not time to choose the team himself, and the late Committee had moreover more knowledge of the men who were likely to go. The motion was agreed to. A discussion took place relative to the division of opinion regarding the number of rounds for the Senior Cup, and Mr Ollivier moved— " That the Senior Cup Committee be requested to declare the cup matches closed for this season, and that they arrange matches for the remainder of the season." Mr Cuff seconded the motion, which was agreed to. The Chairman reported that the net receipts from the late match with New South Wales was about £47 19s, (Applause.). This being all the business, the meeting terminated. In consequence of the resolution passed at the above meeting, requesting the Cup Match Committee to declare the cup matches at an end, the Committee have arranged other matches than those already published. They thought that as the M.C.C. have an unbeaten record this season, and the L.P.C. have only lost one match, a most interesting contest would result if these two teams met again, so they have decided that they shall meet on Lancaster Park, and a small charge may be made which will go towards paying off the debt of the Association. As several of the A.C.C. are likely to be in the team to go to Dunedin the Committee thought it desirable they should have as much play as possible, so arranged that they are to meet the U.C.C. The Ashley County being unable to continue Cup matches one team will have to stand out, and as the Fifteen of L.P.C. will be cut into the Committee have decided that the latter shall stand out. The fixtures are therefore :-M.C.C. v L.P.C., at Lancaster Park ; U.C.C.C v A.C.C. at Hagley Park. http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi- bin/paperspast?a=d&cl=search&d=TS18900930.2.41&srpos=96&e=------100-CHP%2cTS-1- byDA-on--2addington+cricket+club-- Star , Issue 6973, 30 September 1890, Page 4 ADDINGTON CRICKET CLUB ANNUAL MEETING. The annual general meeting of the above was held at the rooms of the Master Bakers' Association, High street, on Saturday evening, the President, Mr J. HOPPER, in the chair. Over twenty members were present. The Secretary, Mr J. A. CAYGILL, read the Committee's report, as follows:-- "The operations of the Club last season do not call for any special comment. We have no brilliant successes to record, and no marked progress, either in membership or finance, to congratulate ourselves upon, but there are, nevertheless, some points deserving of mention. In the first place, the removal to the Hagley Park ground was a saving financially, and conducive to the better enjoyment of the game. In the second place, although our membership was not increased, the list of defaulters is small. The members will also be glad to learn that the difference between liabilities and assets is not as it has been of late years. In regard to senior cricket, the resolution of the last annual meeting was carried into effect, and the team played without a handicap. Through the loss of some senior members, this left the team with a severer undertaking than was anticipated, but several of the members reached higher places than before on the list of general batting averages. Two additional members obtained Interprovincial honours, and the team escaped the barren honour of lowest place. An unfortunate dispute arose about the match with the Lancaster Park Club, in which your Committee thought the team were being harshly treated. The correspondence will be laid before you if required, but we think that as the matter has now been practically dead for six months, no useful purpose would be served by causing a resurrection. The junior team was not by any means successful, and we should much like to see an improvement in this department. Of outside matches, the Club only played one, against Little River, and were successful. We were not able to arrange the visit to Wellington, as recommended by the last annual meeting, on account of teams from that city visiting here, but we trust that our successors will keep this matter steadily in view." The acting-Treasurer, Mr S. M'MURRAY, submitted his balance-sheet, showing receipts £44 15s 5d, expenditure £43 2s 7d, cash in hand, £1 12s 10d, liabilities £10 10s, assets £11 2s 10d. On the motion of Mr STEVENS, the report and balance-sheet were adopted. The following new members were elected : Messrs H. GATES, H. GOODMAN, J. CURTAIN, J. DONOLLY and T. MORTLOCK. Correspondence was read (1) from Mr A. ATKINSON. resigning his position as Treasurer owing to leaving the district. (2) From W. B. EYRE. Secretary Pioneer Bicycle Club, suggesting combined action by all Athletic Clubs in reference to defaulters. (3) From Secretary Lancaster Park Cricket Club, on subject of two junior competitions. It was resolved that the Secretary write to Mr ATKINSON conveying the thanks of the Club for past services and regretting his loss. The Secretary was instructed to forward Mr EYRE's letter to the Canterbury Cricket Association with a recommendation that it be considered at their next meeting. Also that the Club ascertain the views of the Association on the subject of junior competitions. The election of officers resulted as follows President, Mr J. HOPPER; Vice-Presidents, Hon E. C. J. STEVENS, Rev L. M. ISITT, Messrs A. E. G. RHODES, W. P. REEVES, G. T. BOOTH, W. B. CLARKSON, W. WHITE, jun., and J. BROWN ; Secretary, Mr A. MALLOCK ; Treasurer, Mr R. HALLEY; Committee, Messrs OGIER, KINSMAN, M'MURRAY, CAYGILL, and SLATER; Senior Match Committee, Messrs HALLEY, M'MURRAY and OGIER; Junior Match Committee, Messrs JONES, CURTAIN and MORTLOCK; Auditors, Messrs M'MURRAY and SNEDDON. The appointment of delegates to the Association was held over till after the meeting of that body to consider its new constitution. Next Saturday was appointed for the opening match, the first practice to be held on Wednesday evening. It was decided to let the subscriptions remain as at present, viz., 25s for senior members, and 15s for juniors. Mr M'MURRAY proposed a vote of thanks to the retiring officers, specially mentioning the President and Secretary, to the former of whom the Club owed more than could well be told. The motion was carried with acclamation, and after the two gentlemen named had suitably responded, the proceedings terminated. http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi- bin/paperspast?a=d&cl=search&d=CHP18901003.2.8&srpos=418&e=------100-CHP%2cTS-401- byDA-on--0senior+cup+cricket-- Press, Volume XLVIL, Issue 7673, 3 October 1890, Page 2 There appears to be a certain amount of truth in reference to the Sydenham Wesleyan C.C joining the Addington.

The A.C.C. continued their match, Eleven v the Club, on Saturday, when it resulted in a decided win for the former. The Eleven, with six wickets down for 104, continued their innings, and succeeded in raising the score to 152, of which McMurray claimed 18, Kinsman 13 (not out), and Turner 6, each man showing very good cricket. The Club, in its second innings, though batting seventeen men, could make no stand whatever against the Eleven's bowling, and the innings was soon closed with the score at 51, Preece 11, and Mortlock 9 (not out), being the only two who succeeded in getting runs. The Eleven, in their second innings, ran up 80 for the loss of three wickets, Kinsman, Dixon, and Turner being the principal scorers. The following are the scores:— THE CLUB.

By O. U. T. October 23 The season was fairer opened on Saturday, when the contests for both Senior and Junior Cups were started. The wickets in most instances were good, but that on which the Midland and Addington played was not quite up to expectations, consequently low scoring took place. The teams of the Senior clubs have not been greatly altered from those of last season. H. Beeves, F. Labatt, and Moss take the places of Cant, Wallis, and North in the Lancaster Park eleven and the United and Addington have one or two fresh names. The removal of Moss out of the Park fifteen somewhat weakens them in the bowling, and doubtless they will feel his loss In some of their matches, but as a recompense for this they gain the assistance in batting of Wallis, Cant, and North, the last named batsman also being a good useful bowler. Washer, late of the Midland, dons the colors of the Addington this season, and the names of Wigley and Musgrave for the United, are new ones for senior honors. Until the teams get into working order it is impossible go form a correct opinion as to who will win the Cup, but it may be mentioned that a good number believe that the pride of place will be between the last season's champions and the Park eleven, and the result of the draw, which brings these teams together at a later period in the contest than was the case last year, has given cause for rejoicing, as, by the time the fixture comes on it is expected that both will be in good form, and a close match will eventuate. The United have already given indications of being able to maintain their batting reputation, and should their bowlers show improvement on last season's form they certainly will have to be reckoned with as to the probable winners. The Addingtonian's chance of gaining a foremost position in the contest will entirely depend on the amount of interest the representatives of that Club Infuse into their cricket. That they possess some good players goes without saying, but this spirit of indifference which was manifested by a section of the team last year, is, to characterise the efforts of these players, will be of no avail, and until an alteration takes place one cannot fancy their show of winning the trophy. Although the Park fifteen has been weakened slightly by the withdrawal of Moss, the team is still a strong one, and may prove a bit too good for most of the elevens, as was the case last season, and they should hold a prominent position at the final. Low scoring seems to be the accepted state of things whenever the Midland and Addington Clubs meet, and last Saturday was no exception. With a similar wicket to-morrow it would be hard to pick the winners. http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/paperspast?a=d&d=CHP18901125.2.7&e=------100- CHP%2cTS-401-byDA-on--0senior+cup+cricket-- Press, Volume XLVIL, Issue 7718, 25 November 1890, Page 2 CRICKET NOTES. By O.U. T. November 21 .....Notwithstanding the fact that the coin was tossed punctually on Saturday last, to decide who should have the choice of innings in the Addington v. Park match, it was half an hour after the game started before the former club could muster a full team. Are we to have a repetition of last season's proceddings? http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/paperspast?a=d&d=CHP18901201.2.16.9&e=------100- CHP%2cTS-401-byDA-on--0senior+cup+cricket-- Press, Volume XLVII, Issue 7723, 1 December 1890, Page 3 CRICKET. TO THE EDITOR OF THE PRESS. SIR--l notice that in your cricket notices, published today (25th) O.U.T. calls attention to the fact that on the 15th November in the match Addington C.C. v Lancaster Park Fifteen, the former Club did not muster its full strength till half an hour after the match started, and administered what is no doubt intended so be censure. It appears to me that so long as the Captain takes his team into the field at the right time, as ours did, it is purely his business whether he elects play with one or two men short for half an hour or one afternoon out of three, or to fill up their places. But if your contributor thinks this a fit subject for censure will he kindly explain why he called attention to the A.C.C. being short handed for half an hour, and omitted to mention that the L.P.C. Fifteen had two men short for the whole day. And in his future notes will he kindly administer a proportionate measure of censure to the U.C.C., because one of their team was away the whole day on the 15th. Let us have criticism and censure by all means when we deserve it, but do not let our censors be mole-eyed.-Yours, &c., John A. Caygill. November 25th, 1890. http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi- bin/paperspast?a=d&cl=search&d=CHP18901211.2.5&srpos=442&e=------100-CHP%2cTS-401- byDA-on--0senior+cup+cricket-- Press, Volume XLVIL, Issue 7732, 11 December 1890, Page 2 CRICKET NOTES. By O.U.T. December 4...... The Addington were completely overmatched by the Park fifteen all through their game, and as was expected after the first innings, they had to submit to a pretty severe defeat, thus placing a second win to the credit of the junior team. The Park total was not as heavy as was thought it would have been, but as it proved more than enough I daresay they are satisfied. North increased his total to 61, but with the exception of Pavitt, the other batsmen did very little, Halley being a bit too good with the ball. The performance is all the more creditable when one considers the wicket on which It was done. French had prepared one of his really good ones, and to bowl with success on such it requires a bowler to be in decent form. I may mention that after the three days play, the wicket was as good and true as when the game commenced on it: with the exception of the bowlers' marks, not a flaw being visible. North also did good work in taking five wickets for 89. The second attempt of the Addington was some 80 runs behind the first, the fastness of the wicket appearing to be more of a puzzler to most of the batsmen than the bowling. Halley followed up his success with the ball by scoring 43 in good style, and was assisted by Turner and Stevens, but the others, like the most of their opponents, failed to put on many runs...... My remarks, in reference to the Addington starting their match against the Park fifteen short handed, appears to have caused annoyance to some of the members of the former club, and Mr Caygill has given expression to his through the columns of the morning contemporary. Mr Caygill is correct in presuming that censure was intended and it is a great pity that other members of the Addington Club are not as susceptible to censure as that gentleman, for if such were the case it would only be reasonable to suppose that cricketers would have been saved from that piece of unpleasantness at the end of last season, which is still fresh in the minds of most, caused by the objectionable practice of some at the Addington of turning up late. To prevent this was the reason of my asking if we were to have a repetition of last season's performance, Mr Caygill asks why I called attention to the Addington being short handed and omitted to mention that the Park fifteen played two men short the whole day, and if I will adminster a proportionate measure of censure to the U.C.C. because one of their team was away for the afternoon. He can rest assured that I shall not fail to do so when the objectionable practice is likely to become the rule, and not the exception in the clubs mentioned. http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi- bin/paperspast?a=d&cl=search&d=CHP18910212.2.57&srpos=31&e=------100--1-byDA-on-- 0%22sydenham+druids%22+cricket-- Press, Volume XLVIII, Issue 7785, 12 February 1891, Page 6 CRICKET FIXTURES.

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING, The eleventh annual meeting of the Addington Cricket Club was held on Saturday night, at the Trades Hall, Mr J. HOPPER, President of the Club, in the chair. Mr A. MALLOCK, Hon Secretary of the Club, read the following Committee's report:--Your Committee have much pleasure in submitting to you the eleventh annual report and balance- sheet of the Club. During the past season, although we cannot record many bright successes in the field, yet our position in the list of competitors tor the Senior Challenge Cup was slightly better than that of the year preceding. With regard to finances, however, we can congratulate ourselves upon a marked improvement. After paying a debt of £7 7s 6d belonging to the season previous, our assets, amounting to £15 2s and liabilities, £7 5s 6d, compare favourably. For such good results, with regard to money matters, your Committee agrees that we all are much indebted to the untiring efforts of our Treasurer, Mr HALLEY. The membership list was somewhat increased by the admission of a body of members from the late Wesleyan Cricket Club at a nominal fee; but as some slight dissatisfaction amongst our juniors arose from this arrangement, your Committee suggest that the matter be reconsidered at this meeting. Early in the season our Club joined the Canterbury Athletic Clubs' Protection Association, at an annual fee of 10s, which step your Committee approves of, because it has rendered material assistance in collecting subscriptions. With regard to senior cricket, the loss of the services of Messrs ATKINSON and KINSMAN at the beginning of the season, and later on those of Mr E. TURNER, left the team with a more severe task than was expected, yet several members gained better averages than before, and the team tied with the U.C.C.C. for fourth position. Three members, Messrs HALLEY, OGIER and M'MURRAY, gained interprovincial honours. The junior teams, though supplemented by the efforts of the new members, were not by any means successful, and for the ensuing season we should much like to see an improvement in this department. Of outside matches the Club played only one, that against West Melton, which was drawn. Of individual performances, Messrs WALMSLEY and OGIER, with 64 and 59 respectively, are highest scorers, whilst in bowling M'MURRAY, with an average of 10-03, and HALLEY, with 12.44, again proved themselves to be the mainstay of the team in the field. It is a subject for regret that our worthy President found it necessary to refrain from playing continuously last season, as we, one and all, would much rather have him actively partaking in our sport. Mr R. HALLEY, Hon Treasurer, read the balance-sheet, from which it appeared that the receipts for the past year amounted to £46 17s 4d, with an expenditure of £44 5s 4d, leaving £2 12s in hand. The assets exceeded the liabilities by £7 16s 6d, and as the Club paid several old debts during last season, the finances are evidently in a sound condition. The Chairman expressed his satisfaction at the nature of the report and balance-sheet, but at the same time hoped to be able at the close of the incoming season to congratulate members upon a still greater improvement in their cricket. Mr J. A. CAYGILL, in moving the adoption of the report and balance-sheet, congratulated the Club upon a step upwards from the previous season, and upon being the only team that extended last year's winners of the Cup. At the same time he thought that Addington had abandoned their handicap in Senior Cup matches all too soon. Mr M'MURRAY seconded the motion, which was carried with applause. Ten new members were elected, and the election of officers resulted as follows.- President, Mr J. HOPPER Vice-Presidents, the Hon E. C. J. STEVENS, Messrs A. E. G. RHODES, M.H.R., G. T. BOOTH, J. T. BROWN, W. B. CLARKSON, L. M. ISITT and O. CAYGILL ; Hon Secretary, Mr A. MALLOCH ; Hon Treasurer, Mr R. HALLEY; General Committee, Messrs O. CAYGILL, S. M'MURRAY, J. A. CAYGILL, H. OGIER and E. KINSMAN Auditors ; Messrs M'MURRAY and SNEDDON ; Delegate to the Association, Mr J. A. CAYGILL ; Delegate to the Junior Cup Match Committee, Mr A. MALLOCH. After some discussion Mr J. A. CAYGILL carried a motion to alter Rule 4 to read, "The Senior and Junior Match Committees, each consisting of two members and the captain of each team, shall arrange all matches and select their respective teams"; and Messrs J. A. CAYGILL and H. OGIER were elected as the Senior Committee and Messrs JONES and DONNELLY as the Junior. It was resolved that the captain of the first eleven should also be captain of the Club. The subscription was altered to 25s for senior members, and 15s for juniors up to twenty years of age. Saturday, Sept. 26, was fixed as the opening day, the arrangements of the match to be left to the Committee. The Chairman mooted the question that has of late been the subject ot controversy in cricketing circles, the matter of the proposed limitation of Senior Cup matches to two Saturdays only, and asked for an expression of opinion from the meeting upon the subject. Mr J. A. CAYGILL was inclined to think that a match should be played on two Saturdays only, but continued on each Wednesday evening as well but after a long discussion it was decided to postpone the matter for maturer consideration. The Chairman presented Mr S. M'MURRAY with the ball used in the Lancaster Park Eleven- Addington match, with which he had secured five wickets for nine runs. It was suitably mounted and inscribed, and Mr M'MURRAY returned thanks for the unexpected trophy. After votes of thanks to the late officers and the Chairman the meeting closed. http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi- bin/paperspast?a=d&cl=search&d=CHP18911012.2.6.1&srpos=505&e=------100-CHP%2cTS- 501-byDA-on--0senior+cup+cricket-- Press, Volume XLVIII, Issue 7991, 12 October 1891, Page 3 SENIOR CUP. LANCASTER PARK C.C. v MIDLAND C.C. The meeting of these two teams on Saturday attracted quite a number of spectators at Lancaster Park. It was generally expected that the game would be close, for the wearers of the blue and white had a reputedly strong eleven. However, those who had hoped for an exciting finish will probably be disappointed, for the game at present wears a very one-sided appearance, and as it must be finished in two Saturdays, or decided on the first innings it seems a moral for last year's cup winners. The batting of the Midlanders was extremely poor. Allowing that the season Is not sufficiently advanced to have enabled the men to get into their best form, yet the wicket was a good one, and the bowling not so deadly. It is therefore difficult to account for the collapse. Certainly a number of the batsmen were clean bowled with balls which they tried to hit well round to the on, and when this is attempted with bowlers like Wilding and De Maus it is a dangerous experiment. The batting of the Lancastrians was in direct contrast to that ot their opponents, for each of the batsmen dismissed reached double figures, and gave quite a creditable display. Wheatley won the toss from Cuff and elected to bat, sending in Barnes and White. These two and Ashby all fell victims to De Maus by the time the score had reached 13. Cohen and Wheatley were then partners. The former was completely at sea, on one occasion receiving six balls in succession from Labatt, not one of which he touched, but all of which were in close proximity to his wicket. However, after Wheatley had made way for Treeweek, the new-comer was soon busy and knocked up 17 by really good batting. Included in hit score was a grand leg hit for 6, ail run out. Rayner was next, and well seconded Treeweek's efforts. He batted very carefully and saw Cohen depart at 47, Macdonald at 57, and Garrard at 67. Pearce came in, but lost his partner at 71, and was then clean bowled by Wilding. Rayner played very nicely for his runs, and he and Treeweek seemed the only two men in batting form. Wilding bowled well and with judgment. De Maus was also very good, frequently sticking the batsmen up. Most of the men fielded well, but there is room for great improvement in others, A. Labatt and G. Marshall were the first to bat for the Park. With the score at 17 Pearce got one past Marshall who had made 14 in good style. C. Ridley also played nicely for his runs, and then DeMaus partnered Labatt. With the score at 66 the latter departed after making 18 by very careful play. A good stand was now made, and Cuff aud DeMaus put on the runs at a good rate. Just after the century was reached DeMaus returned one to Garrard. His 35 were made by very correct play and good hitting. He made one magnificent on drive, for which 6 were run. Wilding joined his Captain and another stand was made. Cuff was batting very freely and Wilding played carefully until 140 had been hoisted, when he was well caught and bowled by Pearce. Time was soon afterwards called, Cuff being nob out with 41 to his credit made by good fearless batting. The fielding of the M.C.C. was good, but the bowling did not appear to be of a very high order. Pearce was perhaps best. Treeweek bowled very steadily, but could get no wickets, whilst Ashby, with his slows, only got one wicket for 25 runs. The following are the scores:— MIDLAND. First Innings. E. P.

The weather was fine and there was a fairly large attendance of spectators. The wicket played capitally at one end, but the balls bumped rather dangerously at the other. Owing to a family bereavement W. J. Cotterill did not represent the United, and his place was taken by Blyth, who in former seasons has figured in the Lancaster Park ranks. The United went in first, A. F. G. Harman and R. D. Harman being the first pair of batsmen while the usual brace of Addington bowlers, Halley and McMurray, started the attack. The left-hander (Halley) dismissed the younger brother before he had scored a notch, and for a time matters went very badly with the wearers of the Red and Black, as Halley got rid of R. D. Harman, Walmsley, and T. D. Harman very cheaply, four of the best men being out for about 20. On Mathias and Fenwick becoming associated, however, matters improved considerably for the old Club, and the total was doubled before the latter was well taken at the wickets. Rolleston, the next man, shaped as if he were going to make things merry, but after making a couple of 2's he was run out by a smart piece of fielding by McMurray, who stopped the ball finely at mid-on and promptly threw it in to Ogier, who took It well and whipped the bails off before the batsmen could reach tne crease. The turning point of the innings came when Kitto joined Mathias. The latter had, so far, been batting rather streakily, but he now settled down, and exhibited far better cricket, while the new-comer was content to keep his wicket and let his confrere do the scoring. Several changes were resorted to, but it was not until the 120 had been posted that Mathias received his conge, Halley bowling him with an extraordinary ball, which broke right round the batsmen's legs and hit the middle stump. Mathias was heartily cheered on his retirement, and he well deserved it, as, notwithstanding he gave one or two difficult chances, his display was ft most meritorious one considering the earliness of the season. His innings contained one 5, one 4, six 3's and sixteen 2's. Kitto soon afterwards fell a victim to McMurray, but the two old Collegians, Wigley and Frankish, made things a bit merry before the latter was splendidly caught, one hand, by Slater, and a few runs later the venture came to a close by Halley finding his way to Blyth's timber yard. Wigley displayed excellent form for his 18 not out, and his contribution contained a fine stroke, for which five were run. As will be seen by the bowling analysis appearing below, Halley secured by far the best bowling average, and his six wickets for 42 runs against such a powerful batting team is a most creditable performance. The fielding all round was very fair, Ogier at the wickets being very good, while most of the batsmen found the Hon. E. C. J Stevens a veritable stone wall to get the ball past, he stopping many hard drives in a manner worthy of a cricketer in his prime. There is little to be said in praise of the Addington batting. Stevens and Caygill made a promising start, scoring 19 before the latter was caught at that total, however, Kinsman and Ogier were bowled with successive balls, and with the score at 33 three more wickets fell. Bush made two or three good hits, but none of the others did much, and at the call of time nine wickets were down for 51. Frankish was very successful with the ball, taking seven wickets for only 15, and the fielding all round was capital. The following are the scores:- UNITED. A. F. G. Harman, b Halley 0 R. D.

The twelfth annual meeting of the Addington Cricket Club was held on Saturday evening. There was a very fair attendance, and Mr O. CAYGILL (Vice-President) occupied the chair. On the motion of Mr M'MURRAY seconded by Mr WASHER, the report and balance-sheet were adopted. The following new members were elected Messrs H. BARKER, J. WRIGHT, F.BROWN, H. ELLIS, M. ROBSON, R. MATHESON, J. M'GREGOR, E. TURNER and G. BENNETT. Messrs C. R. SMITH and J. DICKINSON were elected honorary members. The election of officers was then proceeded with. The Chairman and several of the members thought they could not do better than re-elect Mr John HOPPER to the office of President. Mr HOPPER was practically the father of the Club, and had been President since it started. During that time he had done all in his power for the welfare of the Club, and was an enthusiastic cricketer. Mr HOPPER was unanimously re-elected. Messrs G. T. BOOTH, W. B. CLARKSON, C. R. SMITH. J. BROWN, J. DICKINSON and A. E. G. RHODES were elected Vice-Presidents, Mr J. A. CAYGILL was elected Secretary, and Mr J. SLATER Treasurer. The following were elected as Committee -Messrs S. M'MURAY, WASHER, O. CAYGILL, J. T. HADFIELD and H. OGIER. Senior Match Committee, Messrs J. A. CAYGILL and H. OGIER ; Junior Match Committee, Messrs J. FORSYTH and E. H. SEAGER. Delegate to the Canterbury Cricket Association, Mr J. A. CAYGILL ; Auditors, Messrs S. M'MURRAY and J. T. HADFIELD. A long discussion took place as to the best means of electing the Captain, and Mr WASHER ultimately moved --"That the Captain of the Club and the First Eleven shall be nominated by the members on the opening day." Mr HADFIELD seconded the motion. After a further desultory discussion, Mr CAYGILL suggested that the words, "such election to be confirmed by the Senior Eleven" should be added to the motion. This was agreed to, and the motion as amended was carried unanimously. The proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the Chairman. http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi- bin/paperspast?a=d&cl=search&d=TS18921013.2.29&srpos=76&e=------100-CHP%2cTS-1- byDA-on--0warehousemen+cricket-- Star , Issue 7393, 13 October 1892, Page 3 CRICKET.

ADDINGTON v ASHLEY COUNTY. These Clubs commenced a match at Hagley Park on Saturday last, when the home team gained a slight advantage. Addington went in first and lost their first five wickets for only 11 runs, but the majority of the batsmen who followed did better, and the respectable total of 147 was reached before the last man was disposed of. M. Smith batted very carefully in compiling his 33, while Ogier and Barker hit hard for their respective totals. Helmore was by far the most successful of the bowlers tried, and the fielding was fair all round. Ashley County also commenced their venture badly, losing five wickets for 13 runs. Sale and Schneider then became associated, and played out time without further disaster, the total being 30. McMurray and Turner both bowled very steadily, and the fielding was good.

The return match between the Amberley and Ashley County Cricket Clubs, in the second round of the North Canterbury Association matches, arranged for Saturday, at Amberley, was not played, in consequence of the County Club failing to send up a team. The first match between these clubs resulted in a tie, and as Amberley have not suffered a defeat this season considerable disappointment was felt that the Ashley Club allowed the match to go by default. http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi- bin/paperspast?a=d&cl=search&d=CHP18930116.2.27&srpos=113&e=------100-CHP%2cTS- 101-byDA-on--0warehousemen+cricket-- Press, Volume L, Issue 8382, 16 January 1893, Page 5 WAREHOUSEMEN v ADDINGTON THIRTEEN. These teams met on the College ground, when a good wicket was provided. Addington went in first, but made a very indifferent show against the bowling of Labatt and Pearce, eleven wickets falling for 35 runs, the first seven being captured for 12. McMurray and Malone, however, made a good stand for the last wicket, and the total was raised to 68 before Pearce found his way to McMurray's wicket. Malone, who is quite a boy, showed by far the best batting of the innings, and McMurray also shaped in better style than the remainder of the batsmen. Labatt secured nine wickets for 39 runs, and Pearce also bowled well. The brothers North were the first to represent the Warehousemen, and they took the score to 24 before the younger one was dismissed. Pearce filled the vacancy, and the Addington total was passed with only one wicket down, but when 82 had been recorded the new comer was bowled for a well got 36. He gave a difficult chance or two, but otherwise displayed good cricket in compiling his total. A. M. Labatt and T. H. North then played out time, the former having 8 to his credit and the latter 42 at the call of time. The fielding on both sides was fairly good. The following are the scores:- ADDINGTON. First Innings. H. Ogier, c Pearce, b Labatt 0 Hon. E. C. J. Stevens, b Labatt 8 J. A. Caygill, b Labatt 8 M. Smith, b Labatt 2 T. J. Hadfield, b Labatt 0 E. H. Seager, b Pearce 9 H.

The annual meeting of the Addington Cricket Club was held at Inglis' Buildings on Saturday evening. There was a fair attendance, and Mr S. M'Murray was voted to the chair. The annual report, which was read by the Secretary (Mr J. A. Caygill), stated that the Club now had a membership of fifty-five, which was an increase on last year. Although the Club had not been very successful, the cricket showed a decided improvement on last year's form. Attention was drawn to the laxity of members in paying their subscriptions. The report also stated that the Committee had been negotiating for the use of Lancaster Park for this season's play. An offer of £20 had been made by the Lancaster Park Company for the use of the ground, and a recommendation was made that the offer should be accepted. The balance-sheet showed that the receipts for the year had been £60 5s, and the expenditure £57 4s 9d ; the cash in hand amounted to £3 03 3d ; outstanding liabilities to £20, and the assets were estimated at £34. The report having been adapted, the following officers were elected President, Mr J. Hopper; Vice- Presidents, Messrs G. T. Booth, J. Brown, W. B. Clarkson, J. Dickenson, C. R. Smith and A. E. G. Rhodes, M.H.R.; Treasurer, Mr J. T. Hadfield; Secretary, Mr H. Ellis; Committee, Messrs J. A. Caygill, Freeman, Stevens, Walmsley and Wright; Match Committee (First Eleven) Messrs Hadfield, Walmsley and the Captain; Second Eleven— Messrs Freeman, Wright and the captain; Auditors, Messrs O. Caygill and S. M'Murray. Mr J. A. Caygill was appointed representative to the Cup Committee. It was decided to accept the terms of the Lancaster Park Company for the use of the ground. After considerable discussion it was resolved, in view of the loss of members likely to result from the Club's removal to Lancaster Park, only to enter teams for the Junior and President's Cup matches. It was decided to open the season on Sept. 30. http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi- bin/paperspast?a=d&cl=search&d=CHP18931005.2.18&srpos=160&e=------100-CHP%2cTS- 101-byDA-on--0warehousemen+cricket-- Press, Volume L, Issue 8605, 5 October 1893, Page 3 CRICKET FIXTURES.

The annual meeting of the Addington Cricket Club was held in Inglis' buildings, on Saturday evening, when there was a fairly good attendance. Mr M'Murray occupied the chair. The Committee's report showed the Club to have improved its position considerably since last year, the Senior team having won four out of the seven matches played, and the Junior team having succeeded in winning the President's Cup; the finances also were in a better condition than last year, and in view of the Club's return to the old ground, it was anticipated that the ensuing season would be a very successful one. The election of officers resulted as follows: — President, Mr J. Hopper (re-elected): Vice- Presidents, Messrs G. T. Booth, J. Brown, W. B. Clarkson, J. Dickenson, A. E. G. Rhodes (re- elected), and Mr J. McFerran; Secretary, Mr J. L. Freeman; Treasurer, Mr J. T.

A. Caygill; Delegate to the Junior Cup Committee, Mr J. L. Freeman ; Auditors, Messrs McMurray and Wright. It was decided to enter teams for the Junior and President's Cups only, and that arrangements for the opening day be left with the Committee. During the evening several new members were elected.

Colville 10 not out also batted well. The match will be resumed at five o'clock this evening. ADDINGTON v. Warehousemen.-- This game was won easily by Addington by nine wickets and 1 run. With 87 runs to the bad on the first innings, the Warehousemen commenced their second innings, which ended for 84 (A. O'Brien 10, P. O'Brien 38, Daniels 31).

The annual meeting of the Sydenham Cricket Club was held on Saturday night at the Sydenham Chambers. Mr J. A. Caygill presided, and there was a good attendance of members. The annual report congratulated the Club on the promising prospect for the ensuing season, and referred to the successful efforts of the Committee in respect to the ground, which owing to the severe winter was not so forward as might be wished, but would doubtless be ready in a very little time after October 1st. The Club was also congratulated upon the amalgamation effected with the Addington Cricket Club, which, besides making a substantial increase in the membership, would enable the Club to enter the senior cup contests, an advantage that could hardly be overestimated. The Club could also enter for each of the other cup contests. The report concluded by anticipating that Sydenham Park would become a centre of attraction, and Sydenham the home of a strong cricket club. The report was adopted. The meeting then proceeded with the revision of the rules. It was decided that the name of the Club should be the Sydenham and Addington United Cricket Club, and the colours old gold and scarlet (the colours of the late A.C.C.) The officers were elected as under:— Patron, the Mayor of Sydenham (Mr J. Brown;) President, Mr J. Hopper; Captain, Mr J. A. Caygill; Secretary, Mr R. Halley; Assistant Secretary, Mr J. L.

It was decided to enter one team each for the Senior and Junior Cups, and two teams for the President's Cup. The Committee was instructed to arrange for an entertainment to commemorate the opening of the Sydenham Park as a cricket ground. The usual votes of thanks closed the meeting. http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi- bin/paperspast?a=d&cl=search&d=TS18950902.2.3.2&srpos=35&e=------100--1-byDA-on-- 2%22addington+united%22-- Star , Issue 5352, 2 September 1895, Page 1 SYDENHAM CLUB The annual meeting of the Sydenham Cricket Club was held on Saturday night at the Sydenham Chambers.

(BY SCORING BOARD.] The recent fine weather has quite awakened our local cricketers from their winter's hibernation, and on all sides one hears the buzz of preparation for a season that promises to be interesting and eventful. Several changes in feature from last year's play are anticipated, and a few remarks upon the prospects of the various local clubs will not be out of place at the present juncture. In the first place, the disbanding of the Warehousemen's and Addington Clubs is to be noted, together with the springing into existence of the new Southern Club, the Sydenham and Addington United. The latter body I wish metaphorically to heartily shake hands with. Possessing as it does a fine ground of its own, situated, too, in the very heart of a busy and populous suburb, its existence cannot fail to be a boon to the game in general, and I sincerely wish our youngest club good luck. There are a large number of youths in Sydenham who spend their spare time outside cricket's magical attraction, but I opine, with a flourishing club at their back doors, a majority of them will, in time, begin to learn the delights of the grand old game, and thus provide more and more devotees of the innocent and health-giving sport. To those gentlemen who originated and carried out the institution of a Sydenham Cricket Club, I, as an old cricketer and an enthusiast in the game and all its belongings, wish to tender my heartiest congratulations upon a successful issue, and my best wishes for a satisfactory season. The death of the Warehousemen's Club is, of course, to be deplored but languishing as it did from a dearth of support, it is only reasonable to argue that the committee took a wise and prudent course. Addington's disappearance is in one way noteworthy, as showing the poor results obtained after years of struggling and striving. There is a certain need of recompense though in their case by the consideration of the fact that the club has practically amalgamated with the men of Sydenham, enabling the latter thereby to place decent senior, junior and president's cup teams in the field. With regard to the old clubs, I may inform my readers that the Midland Club expects to be very strong this season. De Maus has thrown in his lot with the wearers of the Blue and White, and his all-round excellence cannot but increase the power of the eleven. In addition Stephenson, an erst-while Otago representative, will also play for the Midlanders, and Macfarlane, late of the Warehousemen, will return to his old love. Against this the club has to regret the loss of Macdonald whose business avocations will keep him out of active cricket. Lancaster Park will miss De Maus, but, on the other hand, will secure the services of Labatt and T. H. North, late of the Warehousemen. The United Club I do not seem to have any promising new blood coming to the front, although I hear that the club is likely to have R. B. Mathias in harness again. If so, he will prove a veritable tower of strength to the Red and Black, and a thorn in the side of opposing bowlers. This latter statement I can personally guarantee, from an intimate knowledge of his prowess with the bat. I have not heard much about St Albans, last year's Junior Cup winners, although rumours are whispered about regarding the defection of several good men. I hope this is not true, as I want to see the northern suburb in time able to place a senior team in the field. Ashley County are, I learn, considering the advisability of entering for the senior competition again, and the prospects of the game there are very rosy. The Selwyn County players, are all getting ready, and I look forward with pleasurable anticipation to more than one game upon some of the perfect matting wickets in the district. Until after the annual meeting of tbe Cricket Council, I cannot say much about the forthcoming representative matches. Of course Canterbury must go to Dunedin this season, and a strong New South Wales eleven is promised, and the Wellington Midlanders visit Christchurch for their annual match against their namesakes, but the rest of the programme is as yet unsettled, and must defer any remarks thereupon until later on. In conclusion, I must wish our players good luck, good wickets, fine weather and an enjoyable season. During the last weak a number of our local celebrities at the game have been busy at Robertson's practice pitches, in Gloucester Street, rubbing off the rust which has accumulated during the winter, and on Saturday afternoon I noticed some really good batting. Writing of Robertson causes me to wonder whether or not the various clubs are inclined this season, as last, to engage him as professional bowler. I hope so, at any rate; his trundling is too good to be allowed to go to waste, and I trust that sufficient funds will be forthcoming to ensure that our promising batsmen shall have the benefit of it.

ANNUAL MEETING. The eighteenth annual general meeting of the Canterbury Cricket Association was held last evening at the City Hotel. Mr W. H. Wynn-Williams, president; occupied the chair, and there was a large attendance of members. The committee, in presenting the report and balance-sheet for the season 1894-95, congratulated the Association on the results of the past season, both from a financial and a cricket point of view. The balance-sheet showed that the Association had now a balance to its credit of £I2 6s 10d after .payment of all its liabilities. The Association had started the season with a debit balance of £21 11s2d, and the result showed a net profit upon the year's working of £33 17s. The Association was now entirely free of the burden of debt, which had weighed upon it for seventeen years. Four interprovincial matches had been played during the season— one against Southland, two again Wellington and one against Otago in addition to the matches played against the South Canterbury and Fijian teams The financial results of these were as follows:--Wellington, played at Lancaster Park, a net profit of £33 12s 8d; played in Wellington, loss of £7 9s 6d; Otago, net profit of £49 11s 7d; Fiji, net profit of £20 8s 6d; Ashburton match, loss of £10. The committee considered that the Association had reason to be satisfied with its performance in foreign matches. Of the six matches played, four had been won, one drawn, and one lost. The annual match with Otago had been a most interesting one, and the credit of the visitors' win had been very largely due to the magnificent batting exhibited by Mr Clarke, who scored 41 and 62. Reference was made to the match against South Canterbury, which had. shown that the Association had some promising cricketers to fall back upon in case of necessity. In cup matches the Midland Cricket Club secured the Senior and President's Cups, and the St Albans Club the Junior Cup. In the batting averages for senior matches Mr Labatt, of the Warehousemen's Club, headed the list with the fine average of 458 for eleven completed innings. In the batting averages for the whole colony four Canterbury men— Messrs North, De Maus, Ridley and Wilding were included in the first ten. Mr Gunthorpe headed the bowling averages with an average of 8.66 for twenty-one wickets. Mr Washer headed the list of junior batting averages, with the average of 61; The committee regretted that the Warehousemen's Club had found it necessary to disband. The Addington Club had done the same, a new club having been formed at Sydenham, comprising the majority of the Addington Club's members. The committee also regretted to learn that the Association would lose Mr Robertson's services during the next season, owing to his having accepted an engagement with the Southland Cricket Association. During the coming season, in addition to the usual inter provincial matches, a visit would be received from a powerful New South Wales team. The balance-sheet showed that the total receipts, had been £226, and the expenditure £195 15s 2d. The report and balance-sheet were adopted. Some alterations were made in the rules. The election of officers resulted as follows:-- President, Mr W. H. Wynn- Williams; vice- presidents, Messrs F. Wilding and A. M. Ollivier; honorary secretary, Mr T. D. Harman; honorary treasurer, Mr C. B. Smith. The meeting closed with a vote of thanks to the Chairman. -- A meeting of the. committee was held subsequently; present--Messrs W. H. Wynn-Williams (president), A. M. Ollivier, R. B. Mathias, C. R. Clark, C. R. Smith, ,J. D. Lawrence, R. Halley, J. A. Caygill, F. Wilding and T. D. Harman (honorary secretary). The Addington Club applied to have its name registered as the Sydenham and Addington United Cricket Club. The application was granted. The St Albans and Riccarton Clubs wrote, stating that they proposed laying down asphalt pitches covered with cocoanut matting, and asking whether the Association would object. The committee expressed satisfaction at the proposal of these clubs to use cocoanut matting pitches. It was decided that cup matches should commence on Oct. 12, entries, according to the rules, to be sent in by Sept. 30. The Secretary of the Council wrote, stating that the annual meeting of the Council would be held on Sept. 27, and enclosing a scheme of interprovincial matches for the coming season. It was suggested that Canterbury should play Wellington at Christchurch, and Otago at Dunedin. The Association's delegates were instructed to support this proposal, but if Wellington could not come down to Christchurch the match should be passed over this season. Mr F. Wilding was appointed the Association's vice-president on the Cricket Council, and Messrs L. A. Cuff and T. D. Harman were appointed delegates to the Council. The meeting shortly afterwards terminated. http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi- bin/paperspast?a=d&d=CHP18990220.2.17&cl=search&srpos=685&e=------100-CHP%2cTS- 601-byDA-on--0%22sydenham+park%22--&st=1 Press, Volume LVI, Issue 10276, 20 February 1899, Page 3 OBITUARY MR J.

John HOPPER was probably our Sydenham club's greatest servant. He spent a few years as Patron of Sydenham & Addington, then continued as Patron of the successor Sydenham club until his death in 1914. Long before he was Captain of the club and then Captain of the Sunnyside club during the mid-1970s. He began the Hagley Oakleaf club in 1877, then the Addington club in 1880, and was President of both. Her continued as President of Sydenham & Addington United from 1895 when that club was formed by a merger between the fifteen years old Addingtonbclub the brand new third Sydenham club started only a few months earlier. http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi- bin/paperspast?a=d&cl=search&d=CHP19140608.2.87&srpos=429&e=------100--401-byDA-on-- 0%22john+hopper%22-- Press, Volume L, Issue 14988, 8 June 1914, Page 9 OBITUARY. MR JOHN HOPPER. The death of Mr John HOPPER, which took place last week, at his residence, Dickens Street, Addington, has removed one more of the old settlers of Canterbury. He was born at Bishop , in Durham, England, in 1840 ; but after serving an apprenticeship to cabinet-making and then marrying, he left Leeds for New Zealand, arriving here by the ship WILLIAM MILES, in 1864. For a time he took up farm work; then he bought the Lincoln Road Bakery, which he carried on until his retirement from business in 1907. The full extent of his quiet benevolence will never be known. Many a family in straits found him a friend indeed. For a long period he provided the bread supply for the Female Refuge, and his generosity continued until the institution was taken over by the Government. But all causes deserving of help received his ready support. For three years he was an active councillor of the newly-formed Borough of Sydenham. He, however, had no ambition for prominence in public life, and only undertook such duties from a strong sense of duty. It was this motive along that forced him into accepting a position on the Sydenham Licensing Committee, when the electors of the borough returned a majority pledged to refuse licenses for the sale of liquor, and he shared those strenuous times with Messrs Beattie, Smith, and L. M. Isitt. Mr Hopper was an enthusiastic cricketer, and forty years ago was captain of the Sunnyside Club. He was a member of the Selwyn street Methodist Church, and it was suggested to him to start a club for the young men of the U.M.F. churches. This originated the Hadley [sic] Oak C.C. After a year or two, reorganisation brought into existence the Addington C.C. In both clubs the offices of president and captain were held by Mr Hopper. Mr Hopper leaves a widow, but no family. A memorial service was held in the Selwyn street Methodist Church last night.

Our Sydenham club' archives include a magnificent photo of Edward Cephas John STEVENS, known in his time as the father of Canterbury cricket (actually the second father of Canterbury cricket after William Guise BRITTAN). STEVENS is our club's most famous member. He arrived in Canterbury in 1858 just as cricket in Christchurch, which had gone into something of a slumber for a while, was about to be rejuvenated by the creation of two new clubs, Albion then , and the rescusitation of the first club formed in Canterbury in 1851, the Christchurch Cricket club. After stints with different clubs over the years, including Lancaster Park when that club won the inaugural Senior Cup, he found a home playing several seasons for the Addington club, for whom he was a Vice President, and then played seniors for the new Sydenham & Addington United club at the age of 58! STEVENS was a mover and shaker, the links below giving the idea. http://www.teara.govt.nz/en/biographies/1s23/1 Stevens, Edward Cephas John 1837–1915 Land agent, businessman, sportsman, politician http://www.teara.govt.nz/en/1966/stevens-edward-cephas-john/1 STEVENS, Edward Cephas John (1837-1915).
