BIG CRICKET.

NEW SOUTH WALES’ TOUR. HENDRY MAKES CENTURY. DRAW WITH EAST COAST. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Napier, Last Night. The match between New South Wales and the East Coast concluded to-day and ended in a draw. The weather was delightful, there being a large attendance. The wicket wore and played well.

The visitors continued their innings at 11.50 p.m., and closed at 3.55 p.m. for 411. A feature was the enterprising batting of Hendry (109), Andrews (78), Kippax (93), and Mullarkey (45). The others gave the bowlers very little trouble, although W. Bardsley was unfortunate with a doubtful Lb.w. decision. The local bowling showed a great improvement, Lord, a young break bowler, creating a very favourable impression. The home team’s ground fielding was good, but the catching was very faulty, numerous chances being rniased. The wicket-keeping of Campbell was very weak, and he missed no fewer than five easy chances of stumping. Hendry gave five chances in the compilation of his score, and others were also badly let off. The home side commenced the second innings at 4.16, and succeeded in playing out time, loaing five wickets for 91. The bowlers, Mailey and Macartney, kept the batsmen quiet.
