VISITORS AGAIN SUCCESSFUL. [ranss ASSOCIATION.] Dunedin, Monday. The match, Lord Hawke’s team v. South Island, resulted as expected in a win for the visitors by an innings and 130 runs. The weather was beautifully fine, with a stiff north-east breeze. Tho wioket was again in fine order, and should have been good for a large score.

South Island continued their first innings. With seven for 32, Callaway partnered Ongley, but was soon bowled. Boxahall hit oat merrily for 16, when he was bowled. Ongley, who had been at the wickets for over an hour for 3, was then caught by Bosanqnet, and the innings closed for 61, Following on, the South Island team made a slightly better etand, tho bowling not proving quite bo deadly, Reese was the first to retire, bowled by Thompson, 30 being up for one wioket at luncheon. On resuming Siedeberg was almost at onoe caught, and only 5 more had been added when Wilson shared the same fata. The partnership of Howden and Boxshall was profitable, the latter putting on 40 in quick style. He had a leto-ff in the stipe. ,He was caught with the total at 94. Ongley soon fell a viotim to Burnup, and one ball was enough for Callaway, Fisher put on 11, but none of the others oould stay with Howden, who carried out his bat for 37, the innings closing for 133, leaving the t nglishmen winners by an innings and 130 runs.
