CRICKET.
WELLINGTON v. CANTERBURY
Tbe " tail" of the Canterbury team rendered yeomen'a service yesterday afternoon, and turned what appeared at one stage a one-innings defeat for them into an even draw. Canterbury made an inauspicious beginning in her second venture to wipe off the 70 runs which Wellington were ahead on the first innings, and when the fourth wicket fell for 53, the hopes of tbe home team's suppecUrs fell below zero. But with the luncheon adjournment a change camt> c'ejp tlte "spirit of the game. At 65 Labatt was caught alter playing sound cricket for 34, and Ridley joined Harmon (the Cbuterbury oaptain). The score was carried to 93 before Frith effected Ridley's dismissal. Wheatley was tbe incomer, and despite several changes in the bowling 134 was reached befcre Wheatley watt smartly caught at point by Crawshaw. M&tbias joined his skipper, and the scoring ■with 200 dent that loroujjh'j' tfalas was rjtcerebip [J Cooke bi." score bo»i'u--65 was ih. The Wellinglere was 1 of time. Two wickets—Gore and Fitzsimmons—had fallen for twenty runs, when stumps were drawn; and soon afterwards the Wellington players left for their homes. Scores:— Canterbury. First Innings.
