The weather was fair and the wicket fast, though inclined to crumble at one end. Under the "circumstances the Otago skipper (Broad), on winning the toss, naturally decided to take the ' wicket while it was at its bsst, .and "Baker and Johnston opened the innings for Otago. The start was delayed for some time through three of the Auckland team not having arrived, but at 10.20 a.m. Auckland took the field, obtaining the .services of Stewart and Hicks as fieldsmen until the absentees arrived. F. J. Ohlson, the Auckland skipper, opened the bowling attack with R. Noill and Stemson, the latter bowling from the hospital end. The batsmen opened slowly, and at the end of the first 12 minutes had only placed 3 runs to the credit of their side. The fir.st wicket fell in R. NeilPs third over, when Johnston was bowlfd in trying to emother an off break. Austin ■filled the vacancy, and runs began to coma more freely, 20 being hoisted at the end of another 10 mirattes' play. At 24 Austin got ontleg before in "trying to dr-i i one of Stemfoii's fast onsß to leg. 2i ". Siedoborg followed, but After placing a . u.:i' rwo singles to his rrsdit ho was taken low down in the slips by Stephen? off Slemson. 30—3—4. A. Geddes joined Baker, while Stephenson replaced Neill with the ball. The bcore mounted slowly, chiefly by singles. At 50 Geddes gave Lusk a difficult chance in the slips, which was not accepted. The first 50 runs had taken over an hour to compile. Ton runs later Geddes had another life, Clayton dropping an easy catch at long on. At 69 another change of bowling was effected, Clayton relieving Stemson. The score still mounted, Steplien•soti proving expensive, and presently £0 was hoisted, Baker having 36 to his credit and Geddes 34. Neill went on to bowl again in place of Stephens at 83. The change proved the of dissoh ing the partnership, for in Neill's first over Baker went out to a tricky one, and, being beaten by tho ball, was promptly stumped by Elliott. 84—4—36.4—36. Baker's total included threa fours, while singles amounted to 14. Liggins, the new batsmen, gave Neill the safest of catches in the second over, but the bowler dropped :it. At 99 Geddes was clean bowled by Neill. 99— 5—39.5—39. His score only included one boundary. Geddes and Baker both showed good cricket for their runs. C. H. Broad followed, and .the century apjic-aved a few balls after alxmt two 'hours' "play. The newcomer, after scoring. 5, was .finely -caught .in. the slips' by Neill . off • Steroson. 120—b—s.b—5. J. Hop.c followed, but "was-dismissed for a single, Neill catching him'off his own bowling. 121—7—1.7—1. Ten runs later Liggins was bowled by Stemßon aftor a good innings for 24. 131—8—24.8—24. F. "Williams joined Webb, but tho latter loat his wicket almost immediately, being caught and

bowled by Neill. Otago being one man short, the innings came to an end at 12.45 -with Webb's dismissal. The total was 132. Neill and Stemson were the most successful bowlers, the former taking five wickets for 39, and the latter four for 33.

Auckland commenced their first innings just before 1 o'clock, Ohlson and J. Mills opening to the bowling of Webb and Geddea. In the ', second over Ohlson lost his wicket in attempt- , ing a short run, being thrown on by Liggins. 1 — 1 — 1. D. Clayton followed, but only added ; 2 to the score, and was then clean-bowled by ■ Webb's third ball. 4—2—2. D. Hay, who ' followed, «eas clean-bowled first ball by Webb. t 4—4 — 3—o.3 — 0. George Mills filled the vacancy, and ' opened with a 3 off Geddes. With three of what must be looked upon as having shown • the best form out for this small total, matters looked a bit blue for the locals. The score mounted to 32 before G. Mills was cleanbowled in trying to cut Webb, he having contributed 11. Stemson followed, and though the Otagdites were fielding splendidly, the figures commenced to run up, and both men settling down to work carried the total to 93 before a separation was effected, J. Mills being then very smartly taken at the wickets by Williams for 30, the result of real good cricket, witk no chances. 93 — 5—30.5 — 30. Neill partnered > Stemson, and the century was quickly hoisted. The latter, having now fairly got his t-ye in, 10's were signalled on the board steadily, vntil 142 came up, when Stemson was be:iuiafully j taken in the long field by Broad eff • l.ijsh I drive — a rqally well-judged catch. His quota 'I of 76 was the re3ult of capital cricket, his ba-t- ' ting being free and vigorous and including 10 boundaries. 142—6—76. Elliott filled the \ gap, and did not lose Neill until just over 70 ', runs had been added, when the Aucklander, j who had batted carefully and well for 43, but ' lost runs owing to his being slow between the wickets, was dismissed by Austin, cleanbowled. 203 — 7—43,7 — 43, Wynyard came next, ] and the figures reached 229 before the last comer was retired lbw to a short-pitched one from Geddes in stepping across to pull it to ' leg. 229— ?— 16. Lusk filled the gap, and , was with Elliott while 20 were added, the lostnamed then being clean-bowled in playing back lo one from Webb. Though nob , particularly stylish, his batting -was careful i and sound, and he well deserved his 47. The last man in was Stephens, and he added 8 before he was run out, result of a very smart return by Broad, the total then being 261. As it only wanted a tew minutes lo time, stumps were drawn.

December 25.

The Intel-provincial match between Auckland and Otago was resumed to-day, the latter commencing their second innings with a minority of 129 on the first inningF. The wicket again favoured the batsmen. For the vis-itors, Baker and Johnston opened to the "bowling of Stephens and Stemson, but the first-named batsman's Btay at the wicket was very short, he being dismissed in Stephens's second over with a bailer. 6—1 — 3. Austin joined Johnston, and both batted steadily until 69 was Teaclied, when Austin succumbed to a well-pitched ball from Hay, after playing a styliph innings. 69—2 — 34. Geddes came Tisxt, and in. spite of frequent changes of bowlings the pair were not separated until the century appeared". Just at 100 Geddes was caught at point off Stephens. 100 — 3—16. Liggine, the incoming batsman, was never at homo fo Stephens' s bowling, and after making 5 gave a high catch to mid-011, which was accepted. 110—4—5. With his next ball' Stephens .dismissed .Johnston, who stumped in goi^ out to him. Johnston had ■plaj-cd carefully, never giving a chance, though one or two of his strokes were rather iliiky. 110—5—44. Broad and Si««deberg carried tho score to 121, when the former was clean bowled by Stephens. 121— 'h — 11. Broad's brief slay at the wickets was, marked by some capital slroker. Hope, the next nian, was pmartly stumped by Elliott off the fourth ball pent down to him by Stephens. 123—7—0. Webb followed, and was splendidly caught "by Clayton in the lonp; field. 133 — S — 4. Williams filled the vacancy, and the score was raised to 140 before luncheon. On resuming. Siedeberg was bowled by Stemson in the second over. 148 — 9—15.9 — 15. Joel, the last man, opened with a single, but Stemson's next ball proved fatal to Williams, and the innings closed for 149.

Requiring only 21 to win, Auckland started their second innings, Ohlpon and Hay going ■to the wickets. "Webb started the bowling, and tha very first ball proved disastrous to Hay, who played it into Geddcs's hands at mid-off. 0 — 1 — 0. Clayton, who followed, knocked up 15 in quick time, and Ohlson scored the winning hit by putting Hope to leg for 3, the home team thus winning by nine wickets. Scores: —
