AUCKLAND v. DUNEDIN AND SUBDBBN ASSOCIATION.

[By Telegraph.] Uukedih, Nov. 25. Steady drizzling rain fell durin* the whole of the morning and until ju*t befora the visitors took the field at 12.40, when the weather brightened up. Lei'h and Skirch tooV their places at the wickets, Lankhum nnd Gill continuing the bowlii'g from the same enda aa on the previous day. Each batsoian scored a single, when Lcilh was dismissed by Gill with a yorker. 2—l—ll. Har.-is (tho cot out) having come on to the ground, resumed hia inning*?. He signalised his advent by driving Gill lmrd to the on, but the bill was smartly fielded by Bobinfon ; 2 runs, however, reßulting for an overthrow. With the next ball Gill got Skitch lbw, with the telegraph showing 3 — 3—16. Ivers supplied the vacancy. Three more eing'e3 were obtained, and then Lanlham clean bowled thß iacoiner. There row appeared to bo littlo chance of tho local men averting n oao innings defeat. Hirris, however, was playing with great confidence, and making tome fine on drive?. Almost entirely by his own exertions 20 and 30 went up, but then he was well taken m the slips by Gili. The retiring bnUmin played m fins free style, and saved his side from being disposed of for a very poor score. 5—23—32 saw Holgate a partner with the Albion representative. The latter got a coupla of singles and made a pretty cut off Gill for 3. but then skied ons to inid-on, where Lankham secured it. 6 — 5 — 37. Hayward only received one over before an odJDurncneat was made for laccli. Iv the afternoon thtre were about 300 persons present. Eobinson went on at Gill's end, and with his first bill dismissed Hayward. 7—0—37. Hadfield joined Hclji t•. Arneil trundled from the other cod, p.nd a drivo to the off sent 40 up. The first ball of Robinson's next over Hadfisld put np to long on, where Barton secured it. Fleming c*"ne next, but did not score, as he skied one from Robinson (who was varying his pitch every other ball) up to mid-on, where Yates snapprdit. 9—0 — 41 appeared as Frith, the last man went m. Holgate got two more eingles, nnd then Frith got hold of a long hop nnd lifted it into tbc Grand Stind for 3. Holgate ran himself out m altcmptinj 2 for a bye, the inning! terminating for 48 runs, or 9 short of yesterday's ventur.-. The visitors thus woa Ihe nutch by one innings and 45 runs.
