CRICKET.

OTAGO T. CANTERBURY. In our Saturday’s. issue was given an account of this match up to tho adjournment for lunch on that day. The following is a detailed account of what followed ; After lunch several changes were made, but tho score continued to mount up till MeLernon went on again. At three o’clock Ashby skied one from tho Albion man high to tho on, which Conway judged capitally. Tho Canterbury captain’s innings was a capital one. Except at the outset, and immediately after lunch, when he gave an easy catch to Conway, which the latter did not accept, ho did not give a chance, and he treated the spectators to a fine display of hitting power. On returning to tho pavilion, he was greeted with loud applause. 117 —3 59. Baker supplied tho vacancy, and after adding 5 to tho score, was given out l.b.w. to Cooke—l22 —5—4. Very soon afterwards J. Fowler drove ore from Haskell right, into tho hands of Clark at long-0n—169 —5—65 Fowler’s innings was a patient one, but occasionally ho indulged in some vigorous hitting. E. Fowler played one from Cooke, and the next, ball was given out l.b.w. 169 —0 had been playing very carefully. Sheath gave the spectators a taste of his quality by driving Cooke for 3, and immediately afterwards lifted Haskell high to square leg, for which an easy 4 was got. This was a clean lift down to the fence. The next ball from Haskell he put up right behind Vernon at point, and from the scorer’s tent it seemed as if the fieldsman only required to have turned a little to have secured it. To make up for tho life he gave the spectators another sample of his hitting powers by clean driving Haskell down to the grand stand for 4. The next ball of Cooke’s over found lodgement in Sheath’s stumps—--181 —7 —12. In his next over Haskell dismissed Turner —181—8 —16. Frith secured a couple, thanks to indifferent fielding, but was immediately run out—lß39—2. Fuller, the last man, then joined Reeves, but the end soon came, the latter being well caught at long on by Paramor —190 —10—5. After a short interval Canterbury took the field, Ashby placing his men thus :C. Frith and Ashby bowlers and slips, B. Fowler wickets, Alpe long stop, Hartland short leg, Baker long leg and cover, Turner point, J. Fowler long leg and cover, Sheath long on, Reeves long off, Fuller mid on. Spring and Vernon appeared to face the bowling, which Frith opened. Spring opened the ball by snicking Frith for a single. Ashby delivered a wide in his first over ; Frith bowled a maiden. A bye was stolen in the next over, the third bail of which from Ashby displaced Vernon’s timbers—3 —I—o.1—0. Clark joined his captain, but the partnership was at once dissolved by Frith —32—1. Conway joined Clark, who put Ashby into the slips for 3. Both batsmen got singles off Ashby's next over. Frith delivered his fourth successive maiden. Clark put Frith to cover for a single, and drove Ashby along the carpet for a couple. The next ball from Ashby ho drove hard into the hand ©f Turner, who held it, though it was a difficult catch. 10—3—-7. Paramor, the next comer, opened by putting Ashby to square leg for a single. Ashby in his next over slatted with a wide. Conway got his last ball.nicely to leg for 2. Three singles followed, but Conway in his eagerness to score narrowly escaped running Paramor out. Some smart running now took place, several singles resulting. Paramor next made an on drive for a couple off Frith. Conway not to be out done treated Ashby in the same manner for 3, and a couple of nicely judged singles brought 30 up. Ashby wsa credited with a wide, and in his next over Conway obtained 3 by a pretty on drive. The first of the next over Frith sent in a shooter which dismi-sed Conway—37—4—l4. Fuller now relieved Ashby. A pretty cut for a couple and another for three resulting from his second over. Frith bowled another maiden. Paramor snicked Fuller into the slips for 2. Cargill, after getting a flukey single, opened his shoulders to Fuller, driving him to tho fence for 3, and caused 50 to appear on the telegraph. Another single was made by Cargill off Fuller, and Paramor lifted him to the fence, Cargill cutting his last ball for a single, when 58 was telegraphed. Turner replaced Fuller, delivering a maiden. A nice leg cut by Paramor off Frith brought 60 up. Cargill drove Turner to the on for a couple, and Paramor snicked a single off Frith, who changed ends, and his second ball Paramor lifted high to the on over tho fence, which counted 3. Cargill also got 3 for a fine leg hit. Turner bowled a maiden, and P.ramor getting a single off the last ball of the next over —70 was telegraphed. In Turner’s next over Paramor was given out leg before wicket 70 —5 —27. Paramor played a remarkably steady innings, and showed some sterling cricket. In Frith’s next over ho clean bowled A. Cargill —7O- 6—13. Collin son then came out and took the Jremainiug two balls of the over. The following are the detailed scores ;

Watson was caught at point with the score at 39, but Ollivier and Cotterill raised the score to 103 before the latter was bowled by a good hail ball from Wheatley for a well and quickly made 45, which included a 5, a 4, six 3’s, and four 2’s. Ollivier was next to leave, caught at long off. His score cons sted chiefly of singles, and was not free from chances. Milner quickly ran up the score of 23, some of his drives being very good. Three 4’s were the result of his chief hits. Hanmerhas a happy way of hitting any ball on the leg or middle stumps for 5, but when his total reached 23 Wheatley bowled him. Tarleton played well for his 12 not out, the score at the’fall of the last wicket being 182. The fielding of the Christchurch Eighteen might in many instan -es have been improved upon, but there were some good exceptions, notably cover point on the west side of the ground. In less than half an hour the Christchurch had lost three wickets for 23 ru- 8. The match will be finished on Saturday next. The following are the scores :
