TOUR OF THE NEW SOUTH WALES TEAM.

THE AUCKLAND MATCH

The cricket match between New South Wales and Auckland took place on Saturday in the Domain Cricket Ground, about 1000 being present. Notwithstanding the heavy rain on the previous djty the ground was in excellent condition, the moisture being soon dried up by the sun. Auckland won the toss, and sent their opponents to the wickets. Mills and Lawson were unable to gefc away for the match, which weakened the Auckland team considerably. Cowley and Moore went? to 'the wickets for New South Wales, facing the bowling of Neill and Kallender. Neill's opening over produced five runs, both batsmen playing freely ; but with the score at 11 Cowley was bowled by Kallender. Walford filled the vacancy, and then 20 rapidly appeared on the telegraph board. Several changes qf bowling took place, but after an hour's play the half century went up. With the score at 65 Lundon shattered Walford's wickets with a full pitched ball. Walford had played a good innings for 22, and the partnership realised 54 runs. M'Kenzie, Austin, and Gould did nob make a great stand, and Moore saw them all disposed of before he was caught at mid wicket by Yates. He played a magnificent innings for 68, being seventh out. E. Noble (29) and J. Davis (16) were the only other New South Wales players who reached double figures, the inningß closing for 185 runs. Neill and Kallender proved the moat successful bowlers, their averages being

pretty equal. The fielding of Auckland was very creditable. Though the visitors played a good game, their batting was hardly up to expectations. There were not more than four boundary hits. Certainly the finest exhibition was that of Moore, whose 68 was got by almost perfect cricket. Shortly after 4 o'clock the Auckland men began to bat, their opponents having been at the wickets since 10.30 a.m. Yates and Lloyd-Quentry (a new player recently from England) were the first to go to the wickets. Both batsmen played vigorously, Yates getting several boundary hits. With the score at 36 Quentry,, who had played a fine innings for 17, was brilliantly caught at the wickets by Searle. The Rev. I. Richards filled the vacancy, but without scoring was caught by Noble off Austin. This was the signal for what looked like a panic, for Fowke and Arneil were also disposed of for duck's eggs, and Kallender was almost immediately afterwards splendidly caught by M'Kenzie off a leg hit, with the score at 67. Neill soon followed Eallender, and was replaced by Nicholson, and he and Lundon batted well together until 87 was reached, when Lundon was magnificently caught byCowley. • C. Hay was next man, but he placed almost his first ball in Walford's hands, and D. Hay, Auckland's last man, filled the vacancy. With the score at 93, Hay ventured too far out of his ground, and by a smart return Searlo stumped him. The Aucklanders, being 92 to the bad, required to follow on, commencing at 5.15 their second innings. It presented no features of interest save some excellent play by Kallender, who made the top score of the day for the Aucklanders with 33. The total score was 102. The fielding of New South Wales was good all round. Soarle, as wicketkeeper, was especially smart.

New South Wales went to the wickets again to make the required 11 runs, the game concluding (paßt 7 p.m.) by New South Wales winning by nine wickets. Scores :—: — New South Wales.— First Innings.
