DUNEDIN- V. CARISBROOK B.

This match was commenced at the Caledonian ground on Saturday on a splendid wicket. The- Carisbrook, winning the toss, elected to bat, and sent in Smith and Butler to face the bowling of R.eardon and Latham. With the total at 14- Butler was bowled by a beauty from Reardon. Thomson, -J. Harraway, and Whyte did not trouble the scorers "much, but on M'GuTjoining Smith, who-was batting in splendid style, the spectators were treated to some lively hitting. jM'GIII, in. attempting a big hit off Gunthorpe, skied the ball, and was caught by M'Kenzie. H. Harra-i way then joined Smith, and "the score was taken to 71 before Smith -was disposed of by a good, though somewhat doubtful, catch by Latham. Harraway continued to do most of the hitting, and chiefly by his exertions th© score was taken to 136, when^he was smartlycaught at the wickets by Croxford, the innings closing at that total. The bowling of the Dunedin was excellent, considering the good wicket, and Skitch came out with a fine average. On the Dunedin going in to bat, Reardon and Latham took every advantage of the opportunities offered, and the score stood at 53 before Reardon dragged a ball' on from Smith. In his score of 32 were some pretty strokes, although he was lucky enough to be missed twice in the field. J. Wilkie then, joined Latham, who was playing a steady game and taking no risks. Wilkie quickly hit up 25 and retired, bowled by Fisher. Cramond assisted Latham to play out time, the score then standing at 95 frr two wickets.
