WOMEN'S TEST MATCH. VICTORY FOR ENGLAND. CHRISTCHURCH, February 18. The touring English women's cricket team won the test match against New Zealand to-day by an innings and 337 runs. For the benefit of the spectators the English team continued its innings, though a declaration at Saturday's score of 432 for four wickets would have been safe, and the innings was closed for 503 for fiye wickets. New Zealand made a much better showing in the second innings, but less than two hours sufficed for the English bowlers to dismiss the side for 122 runs. For the time that New Zealand was in the field to-day the bowling and fielding were . much improved. The only catches dropped! Avere very difficult ones. For New Zealand, Miss Marks, one of the opening pair, was the last to be dismissed. She made only 23 in 119 minutes at the wickets., Miss Symons, the New Zealand captain, was unable to bat owing to an injury "received while, fielding, and Miss Buck had to retire' through being struck while batting well.
