CRICKET.

<J> THIRD TESTY AIATCH. - . PLAY STILL HELD UP. tUy Tul-cgraph—l/rcss Association..) AUCKLAND, Feb. 14. Cricket enthusiasts were greatly disappointed when heavy rain caused postponement of the- first day’s play m the final test match between New Zealand and the AI.C.C. eleven. The rain, which set in heavily- last night and continued without cessation today, covered the ground with pools of water. Although . the wicket was covered a certain amount of rain is bound to trickle through t-h© protection and the wicket, if a start is possible to-morrow, is sure to be damp on the surface. Conditions to-night, however, do not encourage hopes of any play at all to-morrow, the city being, enveloped in heavy fog with a light drizzling rain. AUCKLAND v. WELLINGTON. AUCKLAND, Feb. 14.
