NEW SOUTH WALES V. NEW ZEALAND. Christchuroh, December 30. The intercolonial crioke.t match, New South Wales against New Zealand, oommenoedat Lanoastes Park to-day, The recent hot weather had made the wicket and outfield very fast, and the hot summer day added another favourable adjunct to the fixture. The game was started at 11.20, in the presence of 1500 spectators, Which number was trebled later on. The play, however, was nob encouragiue to any but the veriest enthusiasts, the New Zealand team occupying the wickets for nearly four hours for 187 runs. The Australians again adopted the "off theory" throughout, and the greater part of the play was painfully slow. The bowling was good and the fielding brilliant, consequently any rapid scoring came to be considered as a surprise. Most of the New Zealand men showed a good defence, but there was a decided inability to cope with the tactics opposed to them. The scores are as follow:—

The cricket match was continued to-day in sultry weather. The wicket continued good throughout the play, and the defeat of New South V\ ales can be in no way attributed to wearing. The match was generally looked upon as a foregone conclusion for the visitors, and the'attendance was a little below 2000. The New Zealanders, however, displayed distinct superiority in all brandies of tho game, and won the match handsomely at four m. by 142 runs, The following are the scores :—

Going off at the first lap ho gave place to O'Connor, Corner lying _ near_ the tail. O'Connor preserved his position till opposite the old stand in the last lap, ana here Bennett ran up to the front again. 300 yds from home he snot out at a terrific pace, and left the others standing still. Before the turn was reaohed he was SOyards a-head, tho spectators cheering him to tho echo. He had made his run rather soon, however, and in the straight eased off a little, which enabled Clark to close up the gap between them. Still the lad came on full of going, and passed the post a good 25yds a-head of the Canterbury rep. in the tine time of 4m. 28 3 sths s. Bennett's time beats the standard by 12-sths 8., and is only 3 3 sths a. below Dalrymplu's Australian record. j

The Pioneer champion, however, was not douo with. He crept up inch by inch, and in front of the stand drew level. Here Kerr swerved a little and forced Jones outward, but nevertheless he held on, and the two men flow past looked together, Jones winning by less than half a wheel. Petersen was 12yds behind.
