THE CANTERBURY ELEVEN IN AUSTRALIA.

CANTERBURY V. MELBOURNE C.C. (FROM OUR OWI CORRESPONDENT.) Melbourne, 6th January. The cricket match, Canterbury v. Melbourne, was continued to-day, Canterbury having one man out for 39 runs. The Canterbury wickets fell very rapidly to the bowling of Kendall and Alexander, the first innings terminating for ouly 87 runs, or 56 in a minority. The Melbourne men then went in for their second innings, and soon began to score fast. M'Donnell played in fine form for his 31, and M'Kinnon also hit well for 26, but when Tennent, who went in fifth, was joined by Kendall, the last man, the two batsmen completely collared the bowling, which they hit to all parts of the field. At the close of the day's play both men carried out their bats, Tennent for 75 and Kendall for 54. The Canterbury bowling during the latter part of tbe innings was not up to the mark ; the fielding, with one or two exceptions, was good. Score :—
