NEW SOUTH WALES v. WELLINGTON. On resuming after lunch yesterday the local team adopted the off theory of the Welshmen, but it was not attended with any success in keeping down the score. As thn ontTiA continued the wieket showed signs
of wear, and the ball occasionally bumped badly. The fielding again left nothing to be desired, though Barton, in more than one instance, allowed a ball, which appeared to be within reach, to pass him. Twenty extras were registered against him as against seven to Niven. At ten minutes past two Cobcroft and Wade began the second innings of the Welshmen, Upham and\ Ashbolt being entrusted with the ball. The scoring was fre9 all round the wicket until' Wade, who had given Upham a difficult chance at midon, gave Holdship one from the same bowler at mid-off, and the diminutive skipper, jumping into the air,'made a brilliant onehanded catch. Both the retiring batsman and the fieldsman received an- ovation. Walford followed, and, runs coming fieely, frequent changes were made in the bowling, Cobaroft etpecially playiug carefully. At 72 Walford was neatly taken by Warren \a the slips off Ejtsaimmons. Poidevin joined his captain, and the game for a lime became slow, the bowling not admitting of an liberties being taken. At 97 Fitzsimmons dismissed Poidevin by a beautiful one-handed catch in the slips off Upham. Pryor and Cobcroft carried the score to 133, when Pryor was caught. Burton was next man, and heralded his arrival by hitting Ashbolt twice to the boundary. He was not, however, given a further opportunity of scoring, as Niven caught him at the wickets. 150 appeared at 545 by Callaway sending Fitzsimmons to the boundary. But he immediately lost his wicket, beiDg taken by one from Ashbolt. Noonan went in, and after hitting Ashbolt to square-leg for a single, attempted so drive Upham out of bounds, and was beautifully stumped by Niven—seven for 155. Ridge gave a chance in the slip 3 off the first ball, which passed just out of reach. Time was then called. Cobcroft, who had been at the wickets for ihree hours and a-half without giving a chance, was received with cheering. The following arc the scores : New South Wales.—Second Innings.
