In. the cricket match Otago v. Southland, only one innings was played, Otago scoring 152 against Southland's 135. In the fifth test match the English team scored 324 runs.

In connection with the alleged offer of money to Mr Payne, the member for Grey Lynn, Maurice O'Connor, of Auckland, says his offer to the secretary of Mr Payne's committee was £IOO for election expenses. The idea of its bribing Mr Payne to support the Government was preposterous, as his (O'Connor's) feelings were in quite the opposite direction.
