CRICKET

(By Telegraph—Per Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, Nov. 21. The New Zealand touring team, in She last match before disbanding, heat. The Rest of New Zealand to-day by an innings and -1G runs. The wicket, which had stood the heavy rain on Saturday, was thoroughly soaked by more rain. Early this morning the wicket was a howlers’ paradise, and the outfield slow and spongy. Under these conditions the fielding side had the batsmen at their mercy. Very lew of the batsmen made any sort of a stand, and as the New Zealand side were clearly trying to get The Rest out quickly, and end the match in time for their members to leave to-night, the s|K*ctators saw some excellent out-cricket. . Alcrritt was the most interesting of the howlers, lie has much improved since the tour. THE REST.—First Innings. J. Newman, 1.b.w.. 1> Page 31 J. Langridge, b Pago 30 H. G. Glilespie, 1) Page A 11.
