CRICKET.

OAXTEKBT'ttY COIiLKGK v. OTAGO UNIVRU.SITV. WIN FOROTACJO. Tlip weal her could not have been move suitable nor the conditions generally mom favourable- for the continuation of the match between Canterbury • College and Otago TTnivorsity at Carisbroo); yesterday. Tito widest was an ideal one for flip batsmen, while the outfield was faster, if anything, than tin- previous day. The .sumtner's day possibly attracted the ladies, who were present in interested groups. Although there were instances of good cricket, Jho game generally was not exciting. Nevertheless the match was a particularly enjoyable one, as it could scarcely fail to ho under such conditions. .Having secured a lend of 47 on the first innings and disposed of Canterbury College for 100 Otapfo wont out for the second innings, and by solid rather than brilliant cricket compiled a total of 180. Onglcv again batted ■well, included in his soore of 10 being several good strokes. This batsman was well supported by D. Reid, who compiled a. more than useful 37, and W. Uttley, whose contribution of 44 came at a timo when runs were badly wanted. The remaining batsmen failed to do anything sensational, hut' Ota go hail obtained a substantial lead, which Canterbury failed to wipe off. Otago winning by 71 runs. Several changes of bowling were tried by the Canterbury captain, the most successful being Donnelly, who secured five for 76, and Mulgun, •whose "base" was two for 19., , ' -Requiring 228 to win, Cantcrbnv.fi set about the np-hill task with Arnold and Hope as poineer batsmen. The first wicket fell with fclio total at 16, but ai useful partnership was established when Chtystoll joined Arnold, and the score was taken-to 65 before Arnold was well taken by Ongley off TVascr. The batsman played solidly for hip runs and looked well set when he put one up for the field. The only other batsman to do anything to materially assist Canterbury's total was Chrystall, whose 63 was hot only more than tolerably useful, but his runs were put- together by goodstrokes all round the wicket. The. Otago captain " ranp on " frequent changes in the bowling department, no fewer than nine of the side havine a turn s,t tho creaso. Rutherford was .the most successful, with three for. 17. The members of the Canterbury College team leave for Christchurch to-day. Following are the details of the scoring: 1 Otago,
