WELLINGTON V. CANTERBURY

Welmngton, January 4. The match between Canterbury and Wellington ended in one of thosi ■surprising [ collapses which occasion ally occur^in cricket wittioatj.anj good reason being assignable. Th( wicket was not of the best, but ii was still m fair order, and thougt it gave help to bowlers, it could noi be held accountable for the way the tail end of Canterbury and the wholt of the local men failed, seeing thai Callaway *and ,Sims both found nc difficulty in scoring upon it. *; These twe made 55 and 47 out of 164, which was Canterbury's total. This lefi Wellington 267 to get, but they were out for 22. Callaway took' 6 wickets for 4 runs, and;Howell 4 for 15. It is the smallest tptal Wellington has ever recorded in intreprovineial cricket, not a man got into 'double figures or secured a boundary hit, and fcix of them made ducks.," Some of the batsmen got*'out uc luckily, but the rest were simply beaten by the bowling.
