BEATEN AGAIN.

THE NEW ZEALAND BOWLERS. WET GHREENS IN SYDNEY.' 2?j/ Cable. —Press Association.— Copyright. SYDNEY, July 5. Following their defeat at Randwiek,. the New Zealand bowlers succumbed again to the City Club on Satin day, being outplayed and outclassed on every rink. The ground ; was unsuitable for first-class bowling owing to recent rains having made the ground heavy and sticky. The match was of six rinks aside, the New • Zealand ers making a poor showing without exception, while tha city- team played a fine game throughout. The visitors seemed unable to get into their stride, and lacked initiative and combination. They showed to* best advantage in.Suteliffe's rink, where the scores were 20-10, but the defeat altogether was more decisive and crushing than, in the Randwiek match. The New Zealanders' scores were: — 11 yams, Creagh, Smith, and Mason, 10. Potter, Coles, Bush, and Tasker, 1.9. Neave, Duncan, Nixon and Sutclift'e, 16.

Pavett, Lewis, Marker, and Thompson, 18. M'Cardie, Gallie, Parkinson, and Coultinan, 16. Shefnian, Reid, Columb, and Nash, 18. Totals: City Club, 151; New Zealanders, 97. There was no doubt at any stage of the game as to who finally would be victorious, the local players overmatching the New Zeailanders throughout.
