DERBY V. DOMINION.

MODERATE SCORING. COWIE BEST N.Z. BOWLER. £X-AI7CKLANi) COACH IN FORM LONDON, June 5. The New Zealand cricketers commenced a match on Saturday against Derbyshire. The weather was fine and tlie wicket was in good order. New Zealand accomplished a creditable performance by dismissing in four hours on a gooil wicket last year's champion county, which is in sixth position on the table tins season. T lie Derbyshire eleven included' Townsrnd, Alilei man, former coachew in Auckland province, and Smith, Worthington, Mitchell and (,'opson, who have all toured in New Zealand. The county scored quickly before lunch, but in I lie afternoon the bowlers were pi edc'inin.int. Cowie, who took an early \\ ic kct with a delivery which swung away, had another of his purple patches. He captured three wickets for ons run in four overs, including a gooil catch on the leg side by the wicket-keeper. I'ajre. with his slow medium deliveries, bowled shrewdly, his victims being leading batsmen. Vivian cleverly flighted his slow deliveries into a breeze, showing his most impressive bowling form of the tour. Four or five wickets would not have flattered his bowling. A troublesome partnership for the eighth wicket was broken by a typically swift throw-in by Wallace. Five thousand spectators saw the touring team troubled by probably the strongest county attack in England. Kerr batted patiently and Wallace brightly. All the players were uncertain when facing the break deliveries of Mitchell until the advent of Page, who looked as if he mipht have saved the situation if only he could have found a partner to stay with him.
