SOUTH CANTERBURY V DUNEDIN CRICKET MATCH.

{From a correspondent of the Press.) DuNEDIN, March 21. Play was resumed to-day a few minutes after noon. The heavy rain of the last night made the ground very dead, but that notwithstanding, the bowling was vastly superior to yesterday's. Collinson, not out yesterday, was joined by Rhodes, and the former, by some nice cutting and well placed hits, soon found himself in double figures; but when he had got a dozen retired before an easy one from Neilson—6—l2—ls9. Clark joined Rhodes, who, however, was by the very next ball clean bowled by Neilson—7—3—l62. The rest of the innings called for little remark. Clark, when he had made a couple, gave an easy chance to Smith, which was not taken, and Tait played a careful innings of 13. For South Canterbury Stevens fielded remarkably well at short-leg, where yesterday he saved a score of runs. At 15 p.m. Dunedin again took the field, Stevens and Hedley facing the bowling of Glen and Reid, and Sampson wicket keeping. Stevens was unfortunate enough to send one of Reade's up to point, where Allen was ready for it—l—l—2. Fenwick, after scoring a single, drove one of Reade's right into the hands of Macfarlane atmidon—2— I—9. Hedley was afterwards bowled with a full pitch from Glen—3— i— l7. Baker was then joined by Fowler; Fowler and Baker hung together from three to four, during which time some 2000 persons were on the ground, and witnessed the prettiest exhibition of cricket seen for some time. Both men played with great carp, placing tne balls with cxcellsnt judgment, and hitting to leg and driving well down when opportunities occurred in a beautiful manner. When the score stood at 91, Fowler misjudged the direction of a ball hit by Baker, which being smartly fielded and returned by Sampson, he lost his wicket. Hammersley, after getting nine by excellent play, was preparing to play a ball, when he overstepped the crease, and Collinson, to his surprise, stumped him—6—9—l2l. Cook ran up 15 rapidly, and lifted Glen high to leg; but Clark having watched him, had moved himself up to the exact spot, and received it—7—ls—l4B. The innings closed for 161, Baker carrying out his bat for 70. His was the finest exhibition of cricket ever shown here—not a single chance was given, and he made some magnificent on drives—his 70 on our dead ground speaks volumes. It now wanted forty minutes of the time, and Dunedin required 80 to win. Sampson and Tait first appeared at the wickets, but the former played Neilson's third ball on to his wickets —l—o —o. Paramour went in to score against time, but only made 9 when he hit Fowler high up to the off 3—2—9—17. Tait shortly afterwards was clean bowled—Macfarlane and Read brought up the score-to 32, when time was called. Unusual interest was taken in the close of the match. Baker's and Fowler's innings pulled the match out of the fire, and saved what on all sides was regarded at one time as a one inning's defeat. The following are the scores :

THIS DATS TELEGRAMS. Wellington, March 22, The Taranaki arrived early this morning. She goes South at three o’clock with about 160 of the Dallam Tower immigrants, for Otago. Auckland, March 22. An immigrant by the Baron Aberdaire was brought up at the Police Court to-day, charged with stealing a dog and rug from the Cosmopolitan Hotel. He was arrested five hours after landing. Ten recently arrived immigrants by various ships were locked up on Saturday night charged with drunkenness and larceny. Nelson, March 22.

The insurances on the stock are as follow :—Norwich Union, £2OOO ; Victoria, £1000; Standard, £IOOO. The buildings are insured in the Liverpool, London, and Globe office, for £6OO. Stock to the value of £2OO was saved, but it was much damaged by fire and water. The adjoining premises were saved. The origin of the fire is unknown. The men had left the shop twenty minutes before the alarm was given. The shop destroyed was the smallest of Everett’s. Oamaru, March 22.

The following are the approximate insurances—New Zealand, £3000; Royal, £3750; South British, £SOO ; Norwich Union, £250 ; National, £l5O. Grave doubts are entertained. as to the safety of the schooner Euphrosyne, which left Otago heads for this port fourteen days ago, and has not since been heard of; there are insurances effected on her to the extent of £2500.

[FBOM OUB AUCKLAND COBEESPONDENT. ] Auckland, March 20. A remarkable contretemps has arisen between the Provincial Government and the Ladies' Benevolent Society, in consequence of the former discharging the matron of the old women's home, which is under the management of the ladies. The latter took the matron under their protection. The deputy Superintendent wrote to the ladies that unless the matron cleared out before noon today a policeman would expedite her departure. The ladies thereupon carted the whole of the bedding and fittings of the home, which are their property, and left the Government with the bare building full of decrepit old women in a helpless state. How the matter will end is doubtful, but public feeling favors the action of the ladies in resisting the arbitrary measure of the Government. There are much better reports from Ohinemuri. The miners are settling systematically to work on the claims. A rush has been made to a new gully. Claims are pegged off along the line of reef, from which a quantity of gold found in the creek is supposed to have come. [FBOM OUB DUNEDIN COBEESPONDENT.] Dunedin, March 20. The Dunedin betting market has undergone a few fluctuations. Ngaro continues to harden in price, 3 to 1 only being offered now and is heavily backed for the Cup and is also taken in doubles and trebles. Traitor still remains at 5 to 1, the least shade over that odds being snapped up readily. Earl of Lynne came with a tremendous rush about a week ago and frombeinga" rough un" at lOOtol has advanced till only 5 to 1 can be got about him- He was backed at that price yesterday but 55 to 10 is booked. Templeton has the preference, a toleraby strong opinion being that his form is good enough to pull him through, even with the top weight on his back, and Hercules consequently has receded a point or two. The former's price is 7 to 1, while 10 to 1 is taken about the colt. Atlas remains at about 8 to 1 but his name is not often mentioned, he having been well backed months ago. Castaway's price ranges from about7tol to 10 1. Bight Bower is at about 8 to 1, but Pertrobe is losing ground rapidly. This is owing to his not having shown up at work for the last few mornings, though he might perhaps be hard at it later in the day,

and also to its being notified that he is to be sold on Monday. 10 to 1 is freely offered against him without response. Spritsail, owing to the demand for her stable companion, has sunk in popular estimation, and may be quoted at 10 to 1 offered. An occasional investment on Tripolis is made at from 12 to 15 to 1. For the Maiden Plate, King Philip is most fancied, anything over even money being taken eagerly. Hercules is also backed for this race at 2 to 1, and Daniel O'Rorke has friends at 5 to 2 for the Publican's Handicap. Tadmor, Templeton, and King Khilip are most supported, the next in favor being Hercules, Lyndon, Barwon, and Verbena. Sir Tatton is a hot favorite for the Hurdle Race, Maid of the Mill and Medora also finding backers.
