AUSTRALIANS v. OTAGO.

[Bt TmoßiPs.] Dunedin, Nov. 24,

The cricket match Australians v. Otago twenty-two, was concluded this afternoon, the visitors winning with sis wickets to fall. The weather was fine bat the attendance was poor. The batting of the Australians was mnob superior to their batting on the first day, and but for bia eagerness to make the winning bit Jones would have carried out his bat. The fielding of the local team was, on the whole, very poor, the bowling being the only redeeming feature. The following are the scores: OTAGO. First innings 63 Second innings ... 168 Total 221 AUSXEALIANS. First innings ... 60 second innings W. Bruce, b Hope ... * 32 G. E. Palmer, o Spring, b Hope ... 10 J. W. Trnmble, b Turnbull ... 52 S.
