CANTERBURY BEATS THE ENGLISHMEN.

(Per United Press Association). Christchurch, Janutfry 2. With 6 wickets down for 167, the Englishmen opened business on a good wicket, but May was the only batsman who got into double figures, and, forcing the game, compiled 32 not out with good cricket. The innings closed for 156. The comparative collapse of the English team left Canterbury with only 118 to secure a victory. Pattrick, Anthony and Ollivier were disposed of for forty runs, but when Lawrence and Sims got together the issue was soon put beyond doubt, and these two secured the number required. Lawrence not out 37, Sims not out 40, extras 15 ; total for 3 wickets 120.
