NEW SOUTH WALES V. NEW ZEALAND.

(BY TELEGRAPH. —PRESS ASSOCIATION.)

Christchokch, this day. The interprovincial match on Saturdays suited in an easy win at 3.45 p.m. for New South Wales. The weather was beautiful, and the wicket played better than ot any time during the match. But the miserably weak batting by the New Zealand repreeeutativos, in the second innings, allowed the visitors to win by 160 runs. Three thousand five hundred spectators were present in the afternoon, and the general feeling was one of disappointment, apparently at the local team's total inability to come anywhere near the runs required to win. A feeling of timidity seemed to control the players and not one man, excepting, perhaps Labatt, evinced any determination to hit. The bowlers all played carefully, most of them sending balls, which, under ordinary circumstances, would have been easily hit to the furthest boundary. The result was a great surprise, as, for once, no excuses in the way of bad wicketß or lighb, can be made. The Sydney team are delighted with the substantial win, and fully admit that such was altogether unexpected. THE PLAY. Wanting 240 to win, New Zealand commenced their second innings at 25minutes to one, with Lawton and Mills. When the total had reached 10 Mills was given out lbw, a decision which was not wsll received. Fowke joinod Lawton, and at Innch the score was 11 for one wicket down. Lawton, not out, 7; Mills, Ibw, bowled, Miller, 3; Fowke, not out. Only fonr runs were added to the score when Austin bowled Fowke. 16—2—4. Cuff joined Lawton.
