WELLINGTON WINS

AN OUTRIGHT VICTORY OTAGO ELEVEN DEFEATED " MARGIN OF EIGHT WICKETS [by telegraph—PßESS association] WELLINGTON, Wedneaday The weather was still hot and dry when the Plunket Shield cricket match entered on its final stages this morning. With 112 more runs required for a win, Tindill (16 not out) and Hepburn (17 not out) resumed with the score at 35 for no wickets. Dunning and Dickinson took up the attack, and the first ten minutes' play took the score to 41.

Tindill did most of the scaring, and the batsmen made steady progress. Although Dickinson opened with three maidens, 50 was hoisted in even time. Hepburn was caught at short leg after batting 72 minutes and hitting five fours. 77—1—25.

Tindill, batting attractively, reached the half-century in 77 minutfs. Ward also batted well and 100 was reached for 87 minutes' play. Elmes then relieved Dunning, but could not check the scoring, his five overs costing 19 runs. When one run was wanted for a win Ward put his leg in front.' He batted 45 minutes and hit three fours. Morgan scored the winning run after the innings had been in progress just over two hours, Tindill, who carried his bat, gave chances at 51 and 73, but otherwise his display was good. He hit eleven fours.
