The cricket match Fiji v. Southland did not last long to-day. The local team made a poor stand. 1 heir second innings closed for 69 (toul 120), so that the visitors won by an innings and one run. Walls made 21, Fox 15, and Brown 10. The rest were nowhere. Caldwell aud Tui Vauui did tho bowling. The Fijians left for the north iu the afternoon.

TEMUKA V. TIMARU A

These teams met on Thursday afternoon on tho 'ii uaru A.A.C. ground, the weather being perfect, aud the wicket the same. Jefferson won the toss, and elected to bat. The wickets fell rapidly until the score sheet showed G for 19, King and Hassell then made a stand, the former player playing the best game on his side. Low and Yelvin had both been bowling well, but a change was now made, McLean getting a wicket with his first bull, and Wills one in his second over. The innings closed for 52. The first two men to bat for Temuka found a difficulty in making runs, not because the bowling was too straight, but because they could not reach tho balls, which were mostly wide of the wicket. Some of the other bowlers tried were also sending down loose ones, as is shown by the large number of extras iu the score. Gillespie, Brown, and McLean all played well for their runs. Of the seven bowlers tried King, Hassell, and O’Callaghan were the beat. The fielding on both sides was good; two or three of the Timaru team were very smart iu tho department of the game, especially E. Jones. The following are the scores: Timaru A. 0.
