'Hie skin was red-raw, and the fiery burning pain so intense that I felt hkr tearing myself to pieces. ‘‘lt was my husband who got- me to try Zam-Buk, and even the first, application relieved the intolerable burning and itching, and more Zam-Buk gradually but- thoroughly cleared my skin of all inflammation and soreness."

Coming to individual performances, Hiddlestone, Wellington’s best bat, made the highest score, and played easily the best innings. He began playing the bowling with a confidence which should have

I given heart to tho batsmen who followi ed. On the off side lie made some perfectly timed late cuts, and frequently f;ot, past- the slip fieldsmen who were waiting for that shot to come their way. At every opportunity Hiddlestone pulled the half to leg, where there were few fieldsmen. His only weak shot was the one which cost him his wickeit. liiddlestono had bad luck in being hit upon the. knee with a. fast ball from Everetr. It hampered bis movements a good deal, and lie was nnabio to field, Oliver, the twelfth man, taking his place. Baker came in at a. hazardous time, when five wickets were, down for 63. He played the bowling correctly, scoring with neatly placed strokes to leg. His partnership with McGirr was the only bright patch in an otherwise unenterprising innings. McGirr also pleased with the way in which he faced the bowling at a critical time. With Baker he kept the field alive by running short singles in a manner so characteristic of the Xew

South Wales team itself. The only other batsman to reach double figures was Alloo, who compiled 15 with steady hatting. He simply waited for the: loose ball and played it with care. Those tactics were by no means attractive, but they were more profitable to the team than the strokes which cost better batsmen their wickets. Of the Australian fielding it is only necessary to say that it was up to its usual standard. The throwing in from anywhere in the lio.ld was a revelation. Behind the stumps Oldfield did great work. Funch, it would seem, is not a good opening batsman for the New South Welshmen. Against Canterbury he was clean bowled in the first over. Yesterday ■ lie sent McGirr to the boundary with a fine stroke, and then was clean bowled. It. was a hopeful beginning for New Zealand. Mullarkey played a good innings before being badly beaten by Smith. The batsman played forward carefully, but the ball broke round bis bat and got bis wicket. The light, was fitful at this stage, and Macartney and Uardsloy took no undue ricks. The continuation of the innings should seo the Australians batting in their best form.
