WELLINGTON WINS SHIELD. (By Telegraph—Per Press Association) AUCKLAND, January 25. The final match for the Wilding Shield concluded to-day and resulted in a win for Wellington, which team defeated Canterbury by seven rubbers to five. The day’s play was robbed of a great deal of intenst by reason of the fact that (Angas, Canterbury’s leading player, was overtaken by a serious attack of biliousness. Although not feeling up to the mark, he played through a long doubles match with Barnett, against Wilson and Roussell, but was unable to participate iln the doubles which were left unfinished -on Saturday. The result was that Canterbury were forced to default in this match.
