INTERPROVINCIAL MATCH.

CANTERBURY V AUCKLAND. FBy Telegeaph.] Auckland, Dec. 2g. The Canterbury v. Auckland match was resumed to-day. The Auckland team commenced their first innings, facing a score of 171 runs. The weather was favorable, but in the forenoon only 600 people were present. In the afternoon the number rose to 2600. Up to the adjournment the Auckland men played cautiously, but after the adjournment their play was loose, and showed carelessness. The Canterbury fielding improved as the game went on. In Canterbury’s second innings the Auckland fielding was very good, and when the stumps were drawn with six wickets down for 80, the Aucklanders became inspired with hopes of retrieving the deficit of their first innings when Monday arrives, more especially as nearly all the best of the Canterbury men have been disposed of.
