NEW SOUTH WALES v. NEW ZEALAND IBt Txljsgbaph.J | united fbesb association/] CHBiBTCHtiBCH, 16th February. The intercolonial criokot match waß continued to-day at Lancaster Park in perfect weather, before 1500 spectators. New South Wales by splendid uphill play turned the game before the drawing of stumps considerably in their favour. The balanoe of the New Zealand batsmen oould make little headway against Austin's grand bowling, and the whole team, which started play with throe men out for 58, were disposed of for 116. De Maus added 16 to the overnight total, but tho only othor man who shaped up to intercolonial form was Gore, who took in his bat for a natty contribution of 15. Play was very slow, and there were only two fours on the sooro-sheet, both credited to De Maus. The wicket was improving momentarily, however, and when tho Sydney men batted, they showed more of their true form than they have hitherto done, and soored very evenly all through. The total at the drawing of stumps was 182 for the loss of eight wickets. Seven men were out for 105, and eight for 146, but at the finish Searle and A. Noble got together, and by good, fast orioket brought the soore well on without disaster. As the game stands at present, Now South Wales is 213 on with two wiokets in hand. The light was very puzzling when New Zealand batted. Clouds drifting aorosa the face of the sun kept up a constant change, and later on in the afternoon, when the visitors were batting, there was a olear, cloudless sky. This may or may not account for the really poor display of the home team, but in some quarters it is advanced, with a certain amount of l easonableness, as an explanation of tho certainly somewhat inexplicable failures.
