LINWOOD v. WEST CHRISTCHURCH.

Thus jjanoe was resumoex at? ijuwmbtcr Pirk, -whetn the weather wan beautifully fine ana the wicket in fair order, though somewhat bumpy at one end. Linwood had a big task before them, West Christchurch having put up 459 on the first day. However, they made a fair showing, putting up 259 before the last wicket fell. Orchard played a capital innings of 59, showing a lot more defence than usual, whilst his scoring strokes were dean and hard. Ellis, in compiling his 55, showed capital defence, watching the ball up well. R. end A. E. Ridley each \ bobbed well for their rune, but the tail dhaped indifferently. D. Reese captured the bulk of the wiokets, and hie success wa» doe chieflyl to the fact that he "chucked them up" for the batemen to hit. He was sop* ported ■by capital fielding.
