CRICKET.

WELLINGTON v. CANTERBURY,

Batting first, Canterbury gave promise of compiling a good score on Saturday at the close of an hour's play. Wigley and Sims were their pioneer batsmen, Tucker and : Hales being the bowlers. With 40 on the board a double change of bowling was effected. The half century was hoisted ■after an hour's play, and immediately after ; Sims returned one to Holds-worth. Ridley 'filled the gap, and after a couplo of lucky i ones hoisted 60 by a drive to the boundary, ! repeating the stroke shortly after and bring- ! ing 70 up, Ridley was scoring very fast, being particularly at home when facing Holdsworth, who was soon taken off in favor of Hales, with the total at 86. Wigley played round one from Upham. and retired for a carefully-compiled 34. Callaway joined ■Ridley, who continued to scoro freely off the loose ones, and shortly caused the century •to be hoisted by an on drive. This was his last, score, as ho gave Duncan an easy chance, which the fieldsman accepted. The retiring batsman made his runs in an attractive style. Prankish took his place, bub was bowled off his pad by the first ball, and made way for Ollivier. who lost Callaway only a few runs later, the ex-Australian being taken in the slips by Hales. Harman joined Ollivier, and play became very uninteresting, only 5 runs being added in a quarter of an hour. Tucker then took up the bowling vice Upham. With the total at 124 IHarman -0b ono into Wright's hands behind the wickets, and made way for H. C. Ridley. Holdsworth. replaced Hales, and Ollivier cub his first bail for 4, but after another single he put one into Holdsworth's hands. Barry was the next batsman, and after some further uninteresting play Ridley hit Holdsworth for 5, all run out. A few runs later, with the .score at 146, ho was caught in the slips by Upham, and made way for Boxshall, who Totumed his fourth ball to Hales. Robertson was the last man, but he was-at sea with the first ball, and the innings closed for 146. Holdsworth and Weybourne commenced -the Wellington innings, Callaway and Robertson being the bowlers. After 2 runs had been scored Weybourne was run out through a smart return. Hicksoa came in, and after being lot off by Barry showed his gratitude by taking no further liberties. He soon lost Holdsworth, however, and in his place got Tucker, and the pair were-content to stop the straight ones and to punish only anything that was loose. They remained at the wickets till time was called, when the ! scoring board showed a total of 45. Foliow- ; ing are the scores:—
