WAIKIWI v. APPLEBY

McNEECE AGAIN TO THE FORE.

This match woa continued on the Appleby ground yesterday. Ou the first day’s play Appleby had made 09 runs, and Waikiwi had lost tour wickets lor 91. This score they increased to V 53, A. McNeece batting in good form for his runs. Appleby knocked up 9(5 for six wickets, and at 5.30 I’colo declared, giving Waikiwi just on hall an hour to make the 11 runs required to effect a two-point win. Cinrtliner and J. McNecce made the elTort for the North-nmders and when W. Spralt, on cull of time, took the ball to send down the final over toMcNeeco the batsmen were still 13 ru„3 short of the number. Much excitement prevailed, but the man who had treated Asnistrong's bowling with disrespect evidently had no fear of local trundling. He sent the first ball for a brace, ami played the following two—still 11 runs wanted. The third ball he smote mightily, a magnificent hit out of the ground for six ; the lunXt he sent o v cr the boundary for four, ami ho completed the uir lucky number—for Appleby—by driving the last 'oall of the day for a single.
