By'Telegraph.—Press Association,

Dunedin, January 2. In beautiful weather and on a mucuiinproved wicket, the M.C.C. team defeated Otago at Carisbrook to-day by 10 wickets. Wheu play was resumed Otago had lost seven wickets for 143 -runs. Alloo added only two to his total, find it became evident that Otago would be lucky to avoid a follow-on. Monk quickly followed and when Clark, the last man in, went to the wickets 18 were still required. Dickinson and Clark made a determined stand, but the former fell a victim to Woolley when seven runs were still needed and the innings closed for 166, In its second venture Otago made a much better start, although Dunning, who partnered Knight, was defeated with the total at 22. When Cavanagh came in there was a decided improvement, and by steady and on occasions attractive batting they took the score to 71 for the second wicket. Blunt joined Knight and another useful partnership began, Blunt doing most of the scoring, while Knight presented a solid front to everything that came along. Then came a stroke of bad luck for Otago. When Blunt was just beginning to get properly into his stride he hit his wicket. Matters from this point took a turn for the worse. Five wickets were down for 115 when Elmes joined Knight in a breezy partnership which took the score to 137. Dickinson stayed until 153 runs were on the board, and when the innings closed the total was 160. The Englishmen required only five runs for victory, and Turnbull collected that number in an over from Dunning. > Otago was saved from an innings defeat only by the excellent fighting stand of Knight, who secured a fine double bv scoring 44 in the first innings and ol in the second. His patient and careful innings, during which he did not give a chance, was of inestimable value to his side, and he was given an ovation when he returned to the pavilion, his wicket being the last to be taken. Otago s downfall was mainly due to the fine bowhn» of Woolley, who took six wickete for o 0 runs in the first innings, and four for 3b in the second. He bowled in tiieless fashion and kept a length which made it impossible for tue batsmen to adopt anything but the most careful methods even more accurate> than Woollev. however, was the fast medium bowler Worthington, who frequently had the batsmen guessing, and lacing "hom they showed the greatest restraint. He sent up 27 overs for only 28 runs, and took three wickets. Another bowler who met with success was Legge, who had bowled only once previously m New Zealand, but on this occasion was fax cured by good fortune one of his victims being Blunt, who hit his wicket. Ibe batsmen soon began to punish him, and he was taken off, but the change had Se A e< remarkabFe feature of the Enghslimen’s bowling was the number ot no balls,” no fewer than 28 of whichi were sent up during the match. The English men’s field was cleverly P ■work was clean and smait. Lnere was an absence to-day of the wild throwing which marred their display on Wednesday. M.C.C. First innings Second. Innings. K. S.

HAWKE CUP MATCH MANAWATU DEFEAT TARANAKI VISITORS’ BATTING COLLAPSES >1’1” I.a' '>ERV!CF Palmerston North, January IL Manawatu, the holders, defeated Taranaki in the third challenge game this season for the Hawke Cup by six wickets. Taranaki had a lead of 65 runs on the local eleven on the first innings, but in the second innings, the batting collapsed completely and the Taranaki side was •ill out for IS runs. Manawatu went in again to bat I his afternoon and won the match with six wickets still in hand. The wicket was fast and favoured the

’batsmen this afternoon. The position when the match was resumed this morning was that Taranaki were all out for 154 in the first innings, and four Manawatu wickets had fallen for 54 runs. Manawatu tailed off badly this morning, the remaining six wickets bringing only 35 runs. Scoring was slow, only 50 runs being scored before luncheon adjournment. Clarke bowled exceedingly well for the visitors. With Taranaki dismissed so easily in the second innings, Manawatu went in to bat confidently, four wickets bringing up 116 runs. Baumber and Gallichan played carefully when they took up their position at the crease this morning to continue batting in the second innings, facing the bowling of Fookes and Clarke. Gallichan was quietly confident, but Baumber was very uneasy. Gallichan square-cut Fookes, but was dropped by Petty at point. The same batsman brought 60 up with a nice eover-drive to the fence. The innings closed for 89, when Fletcher tipped one to Ewart at short leg. Barker and Lash opened the visitors’ second innings, facing Galliehan and MeVicar. Singles, a bye, and an overthrow brought the score up to seven, when Lash was given out l.b.w. Cheevers then partnered Barker. The latter’s dismissal came when he went right forward to hit, and Norris, behind the stumps, whipped the bails off beautifully. Nasmith followed, but only had time to send out a single before Gallichan pitched up an offbreak with a beautiful length, which scattered his stumps. Giddy then partnered Cheevers, and the pair were still at the wickets when the luneheon adjournment was taken, with 15 runs on for three wickets. Cheevers was first to go on resumption of the game, Ongley senior catching him off McVicar. Ewart filled the gap once again. Giddy lifted the ball, but this time McVicar caught him. WickEts then began to fall in quick succession. Young made a stand, securing top score with 19 runs. He was given out l.b.w. to Gallichan and the side was out for 48. A. M. Ongley and Broughton opened for Manawatu, and the score had risen Ito -60 when the first wicket fell. Norris was next, securing 18 runs before he was out l.b.w. off Perkins, .who also dismissed Gallichan l.b.w. A single from Broughton brought 100 up, leaving 14 runs to win and 45 minutes’ play. A quarter of an hour later Broughton hit the winning fourer off Barker. MANAWATU.—First Innings. Broughton, st. Giddy, b. Naismith 36 McVicar, b. Clarke 2 Norris, c. and b. Sturrock 5 Gallichan, c.
