I IPer Press Association. — Copyright .l I WELLINGTON, This Day. j Rain today upset sporting activities in Wellington.

Wellington last won the trophy, at present held by Canterbury, in the 1931-32 series, when, despite a wonderful second innings of 165 by Vivian. out of 285, the Wellington eleven was victorious with six wickets to spare.
