With close on three hours to go, ana 179, to make to avert an innings deteat, the prospects of the home team aid not seem rosy, but they not only managed it but played out time and drew the game. The majority indulged in lorcetul play whenever tne opportunity quered, and several, including Armstrong (48), P. L. Orr (46, not out), Irycr (33), and Nicoll (24) gave very attractive displays. . The Ashburton bowling was weak, excopt in the case of (Jus-den, who did wall, and the fielding was not up to the mark. Kyle and Kenny were the principal i bowlers for Melbourne in Ashburton s second innings, but they did not attain the standard set the previous day. South Melbourne put up the biggest score of the tour. Tho pitch and outfield again played excellently to-day. and the visiting captain and manager stared that the former was the best they had played on in the Dominion. Scores; ASHBURTON.
