PALMERSTON N., This Day

The cricket match between Manawatu and the M.C.C. team commenced to-day in dull, threatening weather. Gilligan won the toss, and sent Manawatu to the wickets.

The Manawatu batsmen did not open well against the bowling of the Englishmen. After a succession of maiden overs the first wicket fell with the score at 10.

Wickets fell freely, and-at 1 o'clock the score was five for 28.

Tn the remaining 15 minutes before the luncheon adjournment, England got two more Manawatu wickets, the score then being seven for 63, a fruitful partnership between A. M. Ongley and Cutler having advanced the score materially. Legge took four of the wickets.
