The weather was fine and the wicket in good orde; for the resumption of the cricket match New Zealand v. Hampshire. It was a day of interesting cricket and Vivian who is now hatting better than at any part of the tour brilliantly compiled his first century on the tom and reached his thousand runs iu firstclass matches. He drove exceptionally hard, cut and nulled strongly, hitting two sixes and eleven fours. He reached his century in 150 minutes. Against steady bowling and surprised by smart fielding New Zealand had five down for 169, but a fine partnership between Weir and Carson added 112 ('arson played very soundly and Weir was workmanlike. The light faded quickly after tea and New Zealand lest the last five wickets quickly. Hants batted for half an hour. Scores - ' HAMPSHIRE.
