This match was commenced on the Richmond Club's ground to-day. Neilson winning the toss elected to tike the field. Turner and Ivory were the first to face tho bowling of Charles Frith and Ashby. Tho game opened well for Canterbury, the two first wickets falling for less than 20, but Manion made a determined stand, defying tho efforts of all tho bowlore At the luncheon adjournment he had made 32. and the telegraph showed 54 for two wickets. On play beimr resumed ‘Ashby proved effective for a while, but w-as unable to dislodge Manion, who resisted all attacks, and was ably seconded by Tin-mas, the batsmen making it very lively for the field. Shortly before 150 was telegraphed Noilson went on with slows which had the desired effect, Manion being tho firs* to fall a victim to them. The howling of Canterbury w-as anything but first-class, while their fielding was indifferent. The same observations apply to Richmond, whose fielding w-as not a whit bettor than tbeir oppejnents.
