This, however, put the Victorians three points to the good on the whole match, and when they secured a single on the twentieth head, very few gave Iho local players a chance. On the last head Christchurch scored four, and the game ended in a draw, with the aggregate 100 aIL VICTORIANS ARRIVE THIS morning Five rinks of bowlers from Melbourne will arrive here from Christchurch this morning, in pursuance of their tour through New Zealand.
