AN INNINGS VICTORY.

CANTERBURY BEATS MINOR. ASSOCIATIONS,

The Canterbury representative team proved itself altogether too strong for the team■» presenting the Minor Associations o* South Canterbury, Ashburton, and West Coast yesterday, winning by an innings and 101 runs. The attack of the visitors. *"""'*" much weakened by the defection of J. Kane, C. Dewar, and G. Spender, who were origin continued .{*, « yesterday morning I. «.

He was breaking very sharply at times, and kept a fairly good length. ■ Merritt, although he took four wicketß, was not very impressive, and does not seem to be. in his best form. Dorreen had quite a field day behind the wickets, stumping threo and catching two, Scores :&-. MINOR ASSOCIATIONS. First Innings .. .. ■'••'' W Second Innings. J. B.
