manifested Itself to-day in the Hawke Chip preliminary match between Taranaki and Wanganui. At the end of the first Innings, tim latter had a lead of 142 (Taranaki 147. Wanganui 289).

The Taranaki batsmen evidently found the Wicket to their liking and Immediately began to score succeeding in making up the' deficit with a loss of only two wickets. MOnaghan (48) and Nasmith (60) the first Daymen contributed largely to this result. Other good scorers were: Lambert 47, Lay 85, Cole 23. The innings totalled 346, leaving Wanganui 104 to winThis was accomplished with the loss of five wickets (Hutchison 35, Trendwell, not out, 27; London, 13).
