Krife followed, but was soon to lose Middleton", w*lio succumbed to a good ball from* Hornibrook. Finlayson wao last man in, and with Brice made a useful stand for the ) terfth wicket. Brice was aggressive, and the bat&men did some smart running between tiia wickets. The end came at 158, when a bail from Hornibrook just removed Finlaysou's bails. Requiring 84 to win, Richardson and _ Bogle opened Australia's second innings to 'the bowling of Brice and Middleton. The hts,t two overs yielded nine runs, but thereafter the runs came more freely, and 14 was hit off Middloton's second over. At thd: luncheon interval the batsmen had 'scored 56 in 22 minutes. Hardly had play beiin resumed after lunch when the first wieket fell, Richardson being well taken in «the slips by Baker fielding substitute for Brice.

Kippax joined Bogle, anA a few runs later Bogle, who had had a life'' earlier in his innings, was badly missed by Condliffe behind the stumps in jumping out to Middleton. The runs came more slowly now, but Kippax livened things up with a pretty late cut off Middleton to tna boundary, followed by a nice square cut to the pavilion fence. With the score at;j|7s Brice took the ball from Hiddleston, an«i| off his second ball Barclay missed Bogle iriiJjthe slips. The latter a few balls later cut; one uppishly through the slips, the ~ball going dangerously close to Hiddlestoi*; but it preached the boundary, and Australia won'the match by eight wickets. ■Jlhe following are the details: ;i WELLINGTON.
