[By Cable,] THE BOHEMIAN MATCH. [fbom oce special cobbespondent.] MELBOURNE, Jan. 15. The Bohemians put a strong batting team against the Canterbury Eleven, but it was weak in bowling, and the New Zealanders scored well from the start.

Wilkie, whose prowess as an underhand bowler is well known, disposed of Baker ; but Neilson and W. Frith were not so easily got rid of, and are still in with the score at 70 for three wickets.
