The visitors had compiled 188 anil 178, while Waiiganui, collapsing in the first strike f0r.63, .wanted 304 to win when the second innings began on Saturday, Three wickets fell for seven, but a great partnership between Bsnum and Treadwell altered the position, this morning, and four wickets were down for' 200 when Bernau completed his century, scored by great batting and produced iu a. crisis. Going on, he ran to 130, but lost partner after partner, eventually sacrificing his wicket in an effort to hit out for the necessary runs. He was magnificently caught by Crombie in deep field after a brilliant inning.*. Clarke, who bowlod steadily all the day, was the chief factor in Taranaki's win.

Copyright—United Press AssaJ ' ADELAIDE, Dec, 6. South. Australia, in the first innings, made 481 (Rymill 142) Blackie took seven for 159. [Victoria have lost one wicket for 1.16 (Woodfull, not out, 53, Ponsford 54). The weather was fine and the wicket good. Rymill opened confidently and batted brilliantly throughout, scoring freely with attractive strokes, hitting with power, and placing with wonderful precision. The bowling appeared to lack sting, Woodfull and Ponsford opened cautiously, but by careful batting slowly added to the score, both batting witn confidence. SYDNEY, Doe. 6. -, Owing .to the. rain the Sheffield Shield match, New South Wales v. Queensland, has been postponed until to-morrow. M.C.C. IN INDIA {Australian and N.Z. Cabl© 'Association.! CALCUTTA, Dee. 6. The Marylebone team did not take its second innings seriously against the Parsees and Europeans* at Bombay, and were dismissed for' 135, tho first low score of the tour. The match was drawn. WAIPIRO BEATS TOKOMARU A match was played at Waipiro Bay,between the Tokomaru and Waipiro teams. Tho trophy at stake was the Ecu Taylor Shield, which Waipiro was able to .take from tho holders, Tokomaru Bay. The visitors were entertained at lunch by the Waipiro Club, and the ladies provided after; noon tea. \

Tokomaru won the toss, and .batted first. Theirs was a. weak innings, producing only 59 runs. Waipiro opened even worse, losing the first four wickets for nine, but a partnership between E. Oh aimers and K, Spoiled provided a surprise, Spenee running up 148 runs and Chalmers 48, though' tho rest of the team made only 28 runs, with II extras, total 235. Tokomaru were.all out for 48 in ~the.nee-' ond innings, and-again it' was Chalmers and K. Spenee who fouud tho weak spots of their opponents' defence. R. Chalmers played one of his best knocks, to date, and was steady and safe. K. Spoilce is a new star on the Coast, though ho has been seen in Poverty Bay representative football. He is* a left-hander with good defence, and gets most of his runs with powerful drives to cover, mid-ofl* and midoil. His innings was chaneeless. 110 is also a. useful right-hand medium fast bowler, as well as a good fieldsman. If available for representative matches he will be an acquisition to t Waiapu.
