UNIVERSITY AND WELLINGTON

Against 227 runs scored by U iversity the previous Saturday, Wellington were able to make only 100 in the second day's play at the Basin Kcsorve. .Vclliugton had batted for a few minutes the previous Saturday, but there was no score. Hie first few of the .batsmen did well, but, with the exception of Why to, the captain, the remainder of the side failed to stay long. University, in the closing hour of the game, took toll of the Wellington bowlers in carefree fashion. The University bowlers were most successful. Aim's deliveries had the batsmen always in difficulties, and he came out with the excellent figures of live wickets for 50 runs. Harrison kept an excellent length, sending down 27 overs, of which ten _ were maidens, and taking two wickets for 41 runs. The University fielding was well up to standard. Hamilton and Morgan continued Wellington's innings. Both played carefully and soundly. The partnership wo broken when Morgan was run out at 20. Rollings kept Hamilton company, and, although the rate of scoring was not fast, the runs came steadily. When they were dismissed, however, the game took on a different complexion. Airey, Westbrook, and Cousins all went for trifling scores. Whyte stayed at the creass a fair time, but was finally caught by Arndt off Harrison. Fowler and iSymes made a stand for a short while. Syrnefl was bowled by Macallan, and E. D. Blundell did not last long, so the innings closed at 5.21 p.m. Anidt and Greig opened for University in their second innings. Arndt had made only one when he was bowled by H. New-1 man. Pacey wus the incomer, and 40 j more runs had been made before lie fell a victim to Hollin.ss. Greig, in the meanwhile, had been putting on the runs in fine style. After Blandford had been dismissed for 7, Greig was joined by Macallan, and the pair went for the bowling. Greig was 00 not out when stumps were drawn, with University the victors on the first innings. Details:— UNIVERSITY. First Innings 227 Second Innings.
