Yesterday was another lovely day for ciicket, and the Canterbury men, Garrard (16) and Dunlop (0), continued their notout innings of the previous evening, commencing at 12 20, when Parker bowled RjourVui 11 al.Alul J» r ’- CtltJD, who had been umpiring for tie Otago men yesterday, now tork fa absentee’s (C. Frith) place in fa field, and MacDowall relieved him I# umpire. Dunlop his the first ball to midon, and was apparently caught, but fa ' umpire gave the batsman the benefit of » doubt. Oar.ion bawled from the southend»U'. and Garrard got the first score cf the day, a single, for an uppi=li hit off his first oVtr. A good 4 by Garrard off Porker was the next item ot notice. 110 was brought ■§ up by the aid of a 3 and 2, Garrard getting the termer and Dunlop the latter. Then Garrard was cl ran bowled by Carson—--142—7—24. Hs was followed by G. Hayner, who drove Carson for 3. Slow play followed, neither batsman being able to do much with the bowling, but a couple * of twos and a fine square-leg hi. for 4 by Bayner brought 150 up, and Parker gave up the ball to Hope, and shortly atterwardi, at l f o, Kitt again tried his hand at the south end, with the result that he got Dunlop 1b w, with the score— g 160-B—4. Fowke followed and ent Kitt for 3 for a start, and with small contributiona the score mounted to 170, when Bayner out Kitt finely ttrough the slips for 4. Parker once more bowled, rtce yl Hope. Kajtcr wes p.etty busy about this time, scoring two 3’s and a 2 in qnick succession, bringing up ISO, and Car eon tried to separate the batsmen, of whom Rajner s on tied with E. Cotterill fer top score* Glen was now deputed to bowl, end in his second Rijner made a big ►traight hit for 5, ail run tut—l9o up. K ngsland, who was now tried, was cut tor 2 by Bay- |l ner, and Pa>k r went on at. the South end- 20y wa3 hoisted at IJO —but then Fowkc was dismisfcd by the wicket kepper throwing at the |s wicket after th» bitsmau h«d made a miss fg hit. 204—9—11 was the score when Garty, the last man, went in and made a hit to | the on for which he was credited with 3. A chance <f finishing the innings waa missed by the Otigo fieldsman making a bad return when the brtemen were different in opinion, and two were scored by the overthrow. Harris went on as a last resource, and though Gariy soon got into double figures the innings closed at a quarter to two for 218, as Parris got one. past Garty’s bat, he having tcired 10, and his partner, Bayner, was thus lefc to bring out his bat for 49. compiled in a free fhitting manner, and jg.inst which no jhanc-c ciuld be charged. After xbe usual adjournment for lunch, play was re-commenced before a sadly Limited ctowd of spectators. Harris, th® Otago Captain,elected to goto the wicasts, accompinied by Parker, who defended hi# j|: stumps against the deliveries of Dunlop fom the South end. Ilirri3 faced Garty

and, ifcer playing a nmiden over, lost his partner, who tell a victim to Dunlop's . ’■.* second—1 —o—o. Wells came in ahd made tbe opening score by poking Dunlop away for a singl", and then ho drove Garty magiificfutiy frr 4 Sumo few p,. minutes afterwards W«lls wa? missed by 12. Citterill off Dunlop, but tbe &“> bowler settled Harris in the came over, the record be ng 13—2—1. Walls sent a j full pitch off Uatty’s away for 3, and pulled Dunlop acro-s for 1. Next be slogged at Dunlop again, and 4 r* bulted. He then fell before one «.f Garfy’d <ie* liveriee, the xcoro standing 25 - 3—20. Th# retiring batsman had run bis score up very quickly. Things were now slow for several overs, but 30 was eventual’; up. Tbe score crept up, erd by fair stroke# from each willow-wielder 40 was displayed, though before this Cuff bad replaced Dunlop, and Rayner, Gariy. At 41 Cat clean bowled Harper, who bad scored IS-* 41—4—13. A. Williams was the Btx* f to show up, and joined Yallacg#Cuff, at point, missed Vallarge, but tie chance was not an easy one. Tnings were dull about this time, maiden overs following each other with monotonous regularity, Ksyner having sent down eight et» v . of ten of this sort. Dunlop sjeot ou * at 66 and the change came off, as Vallang# in trying to drive him was well caught » tbe off field, 56-5-9 being the re coldWhen Williams was given c-r.t at GD be had scored 9 and six wickets weto downKitt then went in, and it was hoped thing# would be a little more lively, sod King#* land hit Matthias to leg nicely for h

bringing 70 in sight. He next made » capital drive for 4 from Matthias, and iutt sent Danlop away for 3 in the next over—--80 up. Cuff came on at the north end. Dunlop sent one down which Kitt slogged at and w»* «*nt back to the pavilion. 81—7—/. Carson, who succeeded him, account with a 4 to leg from Danlop, allowing it with a single. Kingaland eventually fell on to Cuff, though the latter bowler was by no means at hia bast. 93-8-18. Carson sent a skyer to the on for a couple, and Hope shortly brought up the century by a fine drive for 4. He then sent the same bowler away to leg for 4, and placed bim for a single. Garty was again put on, hut 110 appeared, and runs kept comiog fast, both men running well between wickets, and not missing any chances of adding a sharp one to the total. Riyner tried to eff ct a separation, but Carson cut him for 1. Hope was let off, when trying on impossible run, by Crawshaw returning the ball badly, and Fowke dropped a chance. Caraon made a really file drive for 4, the hit being worth more runs. 120 up, and the innings defeat looked like being saved. Then 130 was visible, and Matthias sent down the ball from the south, while Cuff was sent to the north. The innings was soon saved, the Canterbury men appearing unable to bowl or Bald anything like respectably, runs coming on nearly every ball—l4o up. But Carson was at last run out, and was greeted with great applause, for his lively innings of 34 had certainly been the noticeable feature of the afternoon's play-Ml-O—3. Glen was eleventh man, and scored a few singles, but at two minutes to six the lasc wicket, Hope’s, fell to Cuff, the total being 147, of which the outgoing batsman had contributed 24 by hard if risky hitting. This left the Canterbury men 10 to get to win. I, was decided to play it out at once. Dunlop and Cuff were the two men sent in to get the rune, and the former got 2 of the necetssry number from the first ball he received. The remaining runs were soon hit off, and Canterbury were declared the victors by ten wickets. Scores: otabo. First Innings. W. H. Vallange, 221333321, o Fowke, b Cuff ... a W.
