The attendance to-day was better than on the opening day of the match. The Englishmen resumed their innings shortly after 12 o'clock, and were disposed of for a total of 109. G. F. Grace carried his bat out for 3S, but was missed by Lawrence. The score ran up slowly to S5, when Oscroft was caught out for 6. Boult, after scoring 2, was bowled by Drysdale, who also disposed of Lillywhitc before he had managed to score. Bush, who filled the vacancy, was bowled by the next ball, and Southerton, the last man, also came to grief, his timbers being scattered by Drysdale. G. Morgan and Palmer commenced the second innings of the Bathurst team, the former after scoring 7 being bowled by G. F. Grace, and the latter falling a victim to Lillywhite for 3. The score now stood at 2 out for 13. E. Gregory had a short innings for 3 runs, and Lawrence was disposed of for 5.

'The next five men followed each other very quickly, and only added 6 runs to the score, which at that time stood 9 for 27. Hand was bowled by Grace for 2, and Thompson scored nothing. 11-0-37 is now the state of the game. Naylor, who took the vacant wicket, was caught by W. G. Grace for 6 off Lillywhite, and Webb scored a single, and was then caught by W. G. Grace off the same bowler. 11-1-47. Onus made a good stand for 13, when he was bowled by Southerton, and Paul ran up six, and was then disposed of by the same bowler. The score stood at 15-6-77, when heavy showers of rain interrupted the play. ALL ENGLAND— XIX.ST IXXISGS. Jupp, b Lawrence 4 AY. G.

The Chronicle urges the formation, at Wanganui, of a Field Naturalist Club similatto that of Dunedin. It thinks that Wanganui is a better place than Dunedin for such a Club, inasmuch as its neighbourhood has not been scientifically examined. The Chronicle also states, as an instance of the discoveries that may be expected at the hands of a Field Naturalist Club, that two Wellington botanists during a recent ramble near Wanganui, found a plant which had never before been noticed or classified, though common enough in that locality. Our contemporary likewise mentions, on the authority of a collector of ferns, that about 100 varieties of these plants are to be found in the district. Wo can assure our Wanganui frianila that if they form a club of the kind referredto, they will meet with the hearty co-opera-tion of the Dunedin Field Natirralist Club, the members of which will be only too glad to compare notes with those of the Wanga* nui Club, and to hew of any discoveries tta latter may jwafce.
