The New South Wales cricketers cdinmoiiceJ the anal match of their tour through Now Zealand this moriimg at 10.30, at the Domain, agßinct Auckiami repre^cntativts. Prior io leaving for the ground they were ofSdslly welcomed by the mayor at tbe municipal biiildirigc. Aidermau Waitie, manager of tho team, replied oh behalf bf toe visitors, thanking:,. the mayor for his expositions of welcome. Tbe visitors were then Irea.toa1 to light refreshments, | and subsequently shown over the Art Gailsry. : Though' ttie match b3gan abaub 11 o'clotk there was a, fiir attendance of uptctators at the , gronnd. The wicket wiis in firbt-rite co'hditiori, I and the weather wss all that cbnld be desired. | The New South Wfi'.es team were without the Services of their orack vyicltet-keeper, BuHbn, | who got injured in the New Zealand mutch, and his place At tbe wickets was filled by Pryor. Foidevin wns absent though illue>s, no I they played with only 10 men. Tb.3 Auckland team were also somewhat unfortunate, being unable to aecura Kelly and Gould, whose inclusion had earnestly been wished for on j account cif their bovHiug abilities. Msssrs I Burton (New South Wales) aud Holle acted as j umpires.

Cobciroft wen the .toss, and elected to hafe. The feature of Htw South Wales's iuniogs was the fine batting of Oallaway, who played faultless cricket for 86. giving only one chMica r!1 the time he spent at the wicbeiis. His score liomprised ho less than seven boundary ' hit--. Vnrueis (not out for 43) held the next position in the inhiugs, and hi.-, display w&s a brilliu.pt one. '.Cho styles of Oobcroft, Pryor, and Noouau were al^b much adtuirtd by the Spectators. All were of opinion that the su'oiig point of the visitors ■ivin their batting, though their fielding is also bf a high order, and tbe cif e\ sitia. adopted name off very well. The New Soirtb. Wales innings closed at 3.40 for 223 ruiia. Tho Auclclano'ers went in about 4- o'tkckj n,nd ran up li 2 runs prior to the call of tims at 0.30. Tht-ir batting was above the average shrtwn throughout the ssasoo. Cijlaway bowitd quite up to his old form, bub be failed to rapture any oi tho local wicket*. Pahsit and Mills were'the first to bat, and although Pabvt wbs responsible for only iO in an hou>- aud a-qnatter, he playsd splendid cricket without the semblance of a chuncs. V/ynyard, Hay, at:d Ohlson also did good Bervice for Auckland, Wynjard's 20 being the result of free batting. Scoi-es :—
