(manager of the team) said that the ground was the greatest surprise which hp had had on the. tour; as he never expected to . see such a lino ground in ah up-country town. .He . thought that' it . was . quite equal to any ground that the team had yet played on'in the Dominion so far. Bardsley won the toss from M'Lean, • and sent. Manawatu to the wickets. AVhitty opened from the top, end' to Mitchell, whom he captured with his' third ball. o—l—o. Trevena then came in; and partnered Ongley, Emery bowling at the other end. Ongley' hit his' first delivery and' Whitty then wheeled up a maiden.
