THE CANTERBURY CRICKETING TOUR.
CAXTEEBV&Y r BOHEMIANS, , BY SUBMABINE CABLE. \ [jEOSt OtTE SPECIAL COEEESFONDENT.] ' c: . Mbiboubnb, January 16. • ' Tliematch against the Bohemians was com-] menoed yesterday, when Canterbury won: the toss and was the first to take the wickets. The .heat was intense and produced a marked effect upon the Canterbury men. The wicket was an excellent one. For Canterbury 'the principal scorers were Neilson, W. Frith and Ollivier, who all played highly creditable innings. For the Bohemians Bobinson played a good inniDge of 31. Sat the innings of Campbell, who punished the rather loose I bowling of Canterbury in the most terrific manner, was the feature of the day's playj and unhappily heienofc yet out. The fielding of Canterbury was good, and, considering the intensity of th'e'Eeat, highly creditable to the endurance of the team, who are not yet used to the bnrwiJg- iraite- qf Victoria.' .> : '" 'Xfp"io last night the Victorians had. made, 142 for the lose of only two wickets, tboee of Bobinson and Moule. On. resuming the game, however, to-day our men were more successful, and their opponents were all disposed of for a total of 286; or 39 ahead oa the Canterbury score. The bowling of Aahbjrf and C. Frith to-day, was very good, showing a marked improvement upon yesterday. In the second innings of Canterbury/ Hortland, . Baker, W, Frith, and Lee all jnade a fair stand, but the ecoree were comparatively I small, and the innings closed for 105, or a total in two inninge-of 302. The Bohemians I had thus 67 to get to win, which they •uceee'ded in doing with tbe loss of only two wickets. The following are the complete, ecoree :— Cantebbtjbt.
