A match was played on Thursday at Port Chalmers between the Combination (Dunedin) and Port Chalmers Clubs, when the Combination won by one innings and 32 runs. The scores were—Port Chalmers, 23 and 15; Combination, 70. Jewess, with 0, was highest scorer for Port Chalmers; Lowry, with 17, and Booth, with 12, highest for the Combination. .The Englishmen, with Cooper, Gibson, and Tennent playing with them, had an afternoon against Hotham oh December 22, and held possession of the wickets till the stumps were drawn. Hornby made 106, Gibsoh 83, and Lord Harris 88. Seven wickets fell for 362. The Hotham Club put an indifferent team in the field. The Ballarat match with the Australians ended in a draw, greatly in favor of the latter. The Australians in their first innings made 124, and the Ballarat Twentytwo 104. The Australians in their second innings ran up 154, and the Ballarat team had lost nine wickets for 25 runs when the game was brought to a close. Tall scoring has been the older of the day on the other sidew In the East Melbourne v. Williamstown thirteen match the former made 345 for the loss of nine wickets, six men each contributing upwards of 30. It is worthy of mentioii that not a single extra swells this very large score. The Albions play ed at Oamaru on New Year’s Day, and w.'re beaten by the local team by 59 runs, Tha Albions completely collapsed in their second innings, and even if Hutchinson and Duci*fnKinton had batted it is very doubtful whether they would have averted the defeat. I *.uns came so slowly that for half an hour th e scorers were not at all troubled. The detailed scores were ALBIOU. First Innings, Second Innings.
