The Canterbury fie'.dinft was very patchy, although several good catches were made. i When Canterbury started their second inning* with a clean sheet it was confident.-? anticipated that her strong array of batsmen would assert themseh-c . and when the first pair hr-.d GO on the board, and -.tilt gems **'«• . • l!;e local supporters were jubilant. But their hopes were soon riithlesa.y shattered. WigI ley made a stroke that was quite foreign to "v:_ usual stylo of play, and was caught in the I deep field, "after pluyinsr sound and pretty i cricket for 29. After this the score never - -rave- ptomisa of bein-.; v. large one. A. _. ! I Ridley— tho hero of the £r.-ii innin*jp--waa i [ caught arid Iw.vled without scorii'.*?, and Callawny let r. faal or.c past him just as ho waa ' looking dingtrotia. b'iru-a was the next to go, I after playing very fine cricket for his __. ! 11— defence --as of the beat, and his runs j were made by clean strokes all round the i -viefcet. After this the batting was a dismal | failure. Barry got V.i hy careful nnd steady batting, &nd Ollivier knocked up 15, in which were three -piendid boundary stroke-, but the others crave a feeble display, and the innings clofecl for 133. Clarke was the most successfill bowler, and got the splendid average or four for _5. Tucker accounted for five v.-;c!-eta at a cost of G9. The Wellington f:-id: n_ «v veiy jjood, and contrasted very favour*b.y with that of the local men. In their second innings the Wellington j njen Imve made a very promising start,' for although the first wicket fell with only 8 on tho score —e.t, Woybotirne nnd llidlane then jilayed out time, carrying tho total to .2- The northerners now have 01 to get to win, with nine wickets to fall. Th : s should h- un easy task, but cricket is such' an un- ! game that it is quite _ossib'c there may yet bo a good finish. Play was resumed at 11.10, Robr-iUon opening the bowling at the railway end to Tucker. Callaway resumed at the other wicket. K-'ght j oiers produced three runs, and Tusker then put ono into Frankish's hands in the slip-?, j 43---3—lt. Clark filled tho vacancy, and making a lunge at the first bail __vo Barry ; a catch in tho glips, which was dropped. Leg ! byes sent 50 up, and Callaway bowled hia eighth successive maiden. Clark c'mrrit-nced to hit out, and scon sent RO up. Ih,d fieldingby Sims turned a single into a 4, and runs now camo fast—Bo up. Ninety quickly followed, and then Hickaon put one into Callaway's hands at slip. 96— 4 —30. ifidlane followed, but in the same over hit a zhoripitcued ball into Gilmer's hands at snort square leg. 96—5—0. Duncan waa the ingoer, and sent tho century up with 2 to ler* but ho then drove hard to -JBid-ofT, and C-arke, §oing lor a single, could not gut back, and Wigley returning the ball well, Clarke was run out. 1001—6— 3i>. Croinbie rilled the gap, but Callaway clean bowled him without, scoring. 100—7—0. Upham joined Duncan, and at once coinmencod to hit out, but at 117 Callaway clean bowled him with a beauty. lIS— e—lß. Wright followed, and play slowed down, but 130 eventually went up, and soon afterwards .Robertson took the ball from Frankish, and Duncan gave Sims a posaible i-hanco at deep square log, 2 resulting. The next ball, however, Duncan made a back cut. and Callaway brought off a, clever catch! 140—.—19. Hales was last raan, but with cne short of th. Canterbury total. Hales lifted on. to nn'd-off, whore Harman brought off a very difficult catch, the innings thus closing for 145. Canterbury commenced their second inning 3 at 2.10, with Wigley and Sims, Tucker and Hales had chargo of the bowling. Twelve were scored off tho first three over 3, and one run later Wigley returned a hot one to Hales, which waa dropped. At 19 Holdsworth bowled au ovor to allow Tucker and Hales to change ends, and at 31 Upham relieved Tucker. With 40 up Clark relieved Hales, and Upham took the bull from Tucker. The runs came quickly, and Tucker again took ihe ball from Upham. Just after 60 went up Wigley lifted one into the deep field, where _idl_ie brought off a fine catch. 00--1—29. A. E. R idley followed, but without scoring he went out to a full toss and sent it hard back to Tucker, who hold it. CC—2—o. Callaway waa next, and seat 70 up with a nice late cut to the boundary, but after getting a. dozen, waa bowled by Clark. 8.-3—12. H. C. Ridley filled the vacancy, but without tho score being added to Sims was caught »t the wicket. 85— 4—33. Prankish joined Ridley, but after geting _ pair and a- _ngle Clark clean bowled hira. 88—5—3. Barry was next, but with only a single lidded Clarke clean bowled Ridley, -f9-6-l. Rgrman followed, but shored hi- fate of tho first innings, being cm-ght hy tho wicket-keeper. 93—7—0. Ollivier filled the gap, and after slow piay sent the century up. with a grand lift to the on boundary. The same batsman drove Tucker beautifully to 'the off boundary. Hales took tho ball from Clarke, and at 114 Ollivier k&it a ball softly into Duncan's hands at point. 114—8—15. Boxshs-U joined his captain, and cut Tucker nicely for 3—120 up, btit he was then bowled in trying to hit to leg. 121—9—5. Robertson -a- last man in, nnd Barry wm chiefly responsible for carrying the total to 133. Tho Canterbury skipper was then caught at tho v.-icket. Woybourne and Duncan started the Wellington second innings at 5.10, Callaway and Frankis-h having charge of the bowling. In Frankish's second over Duncan cut a ball sh-irply into Siina's hands at s'.ij>. B—l—s. and Midlaup went in. Wcybourne gave C. Ridlev a possible chance at point, but it wan not. tiken. Play became painfully slow, but at last Wcybourne drove Frankish for 4. sendi nit So up. He repeated the dose next ball, end Mid—r-* hitting Callaway to leg for tbe same number 30 wont uu.
