THE ALL-ENGLAND ELEVEN IN NEW ZEALAND.

[By Telegraph, jeom oun own CoeeesPONDENT.] SECOND MATCH. Foubth Day. Wellington, Feb. 8. f The matoh has at length been finished, and the result ie a bigger thrashing for this Pro.Vinoe than for Auckland. Four men of the Twenty- two were absent, but they would not pave made much difference, for the Eleven Iwere fielding up well, and the bowling waa \&oo muoh for their opponents. The fielding (of the local team was again excellent, but Idllywhite was rather carelessly missed on one ocoaaion. Russell longatopped remarkably well. Pooley and Southerton gave a lot of trouble before they were separated, and the inninga of the Englishmen finally olosod at 190, Pooley carrying his bat out for a wellearned 18 Thti winners of fche fielding and howling trophi's have nob yet been deoided, bufc Mace taxes tho cup for batting with the soore of 11. Xhe attendance was very small indeed, the weather being cold and wet, and the interest of the game gone ; in fact, every one concerned is intensely glad that the matoh is over. ' At 2.30 p.m., Knapp opened the proceedings in Armitage's plaoe by bowling a maiden over to Pooley. Lilly white snicked Cross to leg, but in Knapp'a next over gave an easy oatoh fco Fule) in the slips, which waß refused. He then gave Mace one off the came howler, which .wus eagerly taken, 176—9—9. Southerton, who occupied his ÜBual position in fche tail of the E even, broke his duck by a single, and Pooley aided by a wide from Knapp, brought the score to 180. The bowlers were nob so well on the wicket as on the previous evening, tor scarce an over waß bowled for some littlo time which did not contain one or more of tuem. Pooley, after several vain attempts, got Oro*s to leg for 3, and, Armitage took hia own place at the north end, bowling a maiden to begin with. The oaptain apparently did not think it necessary to relieve Cross, who was far from being on the wiokets, though he had bowled well on the preoeding day. Both batsmen Bcored occasionally off him, causing 190 to appear. Armitage bowled five maidens in BUCceßsion, and finally had Southerton oaught at leg, the inninga closing for 190, of which Pooley made 18 not out. After an interval of half an hour, the Eleven took tho field, Morria fielding in place of Selby, absent. Hill commenoed the bowling with a maiden to Mace, and Lilly white took the ball at the other end. Except Mace, nob one made a stand, and the innings requires little desoription. Lilly whito waa well on the wioket, and Hill, though not bowling particularly well, was too good for the batsmen. Maoe's 11 was neatly and steadily put together, chiefly off the left-hander. Hill finally olean bowled him. A. J Salmon's 4 consisted of a oouple of skiers off Lillywhite. Kennedy played cautiously for 6, but finally fell a viotim to a Blow bumpy one from the Subbbx bowler, wbioh he put into Hill's hands at slip. After him, tho other wickets went down " in a flash, Lillywhite frequently getting two in an over. The rapidity with whioh the men were disposed of, may be judged from the faot fchat the innings occupied rather lobb than an hour and a hall. Emmett fielded remarkably well at point, hia two catchea being wonderfully sharp. After the match was over, the two teams adjourned to the pavilion, where champagne - was opened, and tho toaßta usual on euoh oooasions given with hearty good-will on both sides. Pecuniarily, the visit of the team haß not been a great success, as it waa expeoted that a large amount would be taken ; in fact, an offer of £600 for the gate money waa refused aome time ago. On Saturday we sail for Taranaki in the Rotorua. The following are the scores and analysis : — ALL-ENGLAND ELEVEN. First Innings.
