SOUTHLAND V. OTAGO. ; ;,. ■. j [Per Press Associatiok."!,,.'.'..,' ... . .. , .DUNEDIN, February 18. Beautiful weather prevailed to-day for the opening of the annual fixture between Southland and Otago on the Carisbrook ground. A very fine pitch had been prfepared. Southland batted first aud put up the substantial 6Cpre of 231. Bannerman played a-.vigorous innings,, his scorer including-seven 'fours'."' 1 Groves also put up a. useful score, making sis boundary hits. The visitors gave prom is? of compiling an even larger score than the result proved, but a change in the bowline; brought about ■a speedy downfall. Four wickets had fallen for 166, but' thereafter, principallv owincr to Alloo's bowling, wickets 'fell-rapidly.

...Otago- opened vlits' innings with JVl'Fa'rlane and Gallknd; and in aboift half an hour had knocked up 00, both batsmen scoring freely. Tho partnership was broken by a piece of smart slumping on the part of Gilbertson. Watson never prot set. Cbadwick and Adams seemed likely to add materially to the score when the former, stepping out to a soft one from Kavanagh, missed it and lost his wicket. ' B.ikrr and Adams raised the score '.to 103, when Crockett relieved Doit with the bnfl. Runs came slowly, chiefly from Adams, until at 118 Baker lost his ■wicket. Shpphord and A'loo made things lively and increased +he score to 146. when , A lloo retired. The bat'm.in was unwittingly standing out of his crease at the bowler's end and Crockett knocked th« wicket down. Shepherd rattled up 30 in as many minutes, and with. Tweedy's lifted the score to 200, after two and. a. quarter hours' play.' A few runs later Tweedy lost his wicket, being beaten by a beauty from Kavanagh. The partnership had added 61 runs to the total. Rutherford followed and with Shepherd played out time till 6.50, when stumps were drawn.
