Auckland went in again afc about 4.les with 172 runs to make co win, with Yate.and Kissling to face the bowling of NcweiJ and Caliavvay. Bodi men scurtud very carefully, but Kissling t-ocn made a four to square leg, and then a beautiful cut for three. McCiinchy relieved Newell, and (Jovvper took Callaway's placo, but the change was not eilective, the batsmen seeming to be quite at home, though very cautious. A t}no drive and a square lesj hii for live by Yates brought 20 up, and still the score rose steadily till at 40 Yate.was badly run out. ' 40—1—21. The veteran w^s cheered as he returned. Gardiner waa next man, and runs qamc more sldwly, Davis saving a lot at point.

Fowke came in, but was out at 64 Ibw. to Newell with a d.l"-"k- Starason came in, but waa yorked by Newell with the score at 70. The stumps were then drawn, Kissling carrying his bat for a good 39, with but oiie chance in it.
