TIIE NEW ZEALANDERS’' TOUR,

The decisive" win from Norfolk adds another to the list of successes by the New- Zealanders. The opposing team, although not a first-class county, includes several find players, M. Falcon, G. A. SteA*ens and Coldham all being well-known batsmen, Avhile Falcon is considered one of the leading bowlers among the counties. There are several interesting matches yet to be played; those Avith Kent and Leveson Gower’s NI. being the outstanding fixtures. The hop county has a a - cry strong side and it is almost certain that the latter team ill be chosen to test out the tourists.
