CANTERBURY COLLEGE v. OTAGO UNIVERSITY.

The annual match between Canterbury College end Otago University was commenced at Hagley Park yesterday. A capital -wicket had . been provided, and the Otago captain's action.' in- puttine the opposition in was therefore inexplicable. At any rate the College batsmen niade merry : "with Otago's bowling, -which was not- l>y any means weak, ami they put on about-a hundred runs in the first hour* They slowed down a bit then, but later on the runs again came fast, and when stumpsf were drawn the score was 331 for 6 -wickets. Mulgan played a very fine innings of 128, and he displayed powers that his usual displays in Club cricket would hardly have suggested. His driving was quite first-class, whilst-he did some stylish and forceful cutting. Chrystau also played excellent cricket for 79. his defence and scoring strokes being firetclass. Rutherford,: the Otago representative, was the best of the Otago bowlers. The fielding .was. decidedly good, and Slater Kept wickets capitally.
