THE ALL-ENGLAND ELEVEN IN NEW ZEALAND.

[Bt Tmbgbaph, fbom oue Speciax CobbesPONDEBT.] SEVENTH MATOH. ALL-ENGLAND v. OTAGO. Thibd Day. Dunedin, Maroh 6. Afc the cloße of the Englishmen's inningß, the Otago team had 88 to make to save a one innings defeat. Lilly white and Emmett were fche bowlers of fche seoond innings, Selby taking the wickets. Fulton and Meares commenced well, hitting both bowlers about, but the latter allowed the last of Lillywhite's third over to find its way into bis wickets ; 6—l—3. Paramor joined Fulton, and the field had lively times of it for the nexfc few minutes. Every over rnns came, now a cut for 3, and then a hit fco leg for a couple ; 20 went up in five minutes, chiefly by Paramor's help. An extra field was moved behind the wickets, and Paramor drove his nexfc ball for 2, repeating the bit into Greenwood's hands. The little Yorkshireman allowed it to pass him, and 2 resulted. Fulton brought 30 up by a fine hit; off Lillywhite to leg, whioh produced 4. Pooley went to fcho wickets now, as tbe .men began to take liberties with the slow howling and go oufc to it. Fulton, in Lillywhite's nexfc over, got him nicely fco leg, bufc Selby, with one hand, fielded the ball in fine style, and the batsman nearly losfc bis wickefc. A drive for 2 by Paramor, and fche end of his oareer came. Emmett gofc him lbw.; 35—2—17. Dixon joined Fulton, but only 2 were added fco the score ere Lillywhite olean-bowled Fulton; 34—3—16. Dixon's firsfc proceeding was fco allow Emmett to give bim a hard knock, and then to drive the lefthander for 2. Austin's second ball shaved the stump, and one bail fell off several seconds affcer fche ball had passed. Rose joined Dizon, who put Emmett to leg for 3, and drove Lillywhite for a risky single, the ball falling between Hill and TJlyetfc in the long-field. This oauied 40 to appear. Rose went in for blocking, as before, with success for a good many overs, bufc he only managed to score 1, for Southerton caught him in fche slips ; 45—5 — 1. Sutoliffe joined Dixon, who kept up his reputation for steady play well by driving Emmett along the grass for 3, which would have been 4 had Sutcliffe backed up bis partner. Sutcliffe again refused to run an easy bye, and allowed Southerton, who Buooeeded Emmett, to discharge him with his first ball ; 50 — 6 — l. Allen cut Soufcherton's lasfc jusfc oufc of Kmmett's reaoh, ran 1, and started for another, Dixon hesitated, and Hill threw the ball fco fche wrong end. As it was, Pooley took off the bails afc one end, and threw it up to the other, jusfc too late fco run Dizon cvt — a smart piece of fielding, whioh was loudly applauded. A fluky cut for a couple, and off the nezt Allen was beautifully caught in the slips by Southerton ; 57 — 7—7. Cargill was oaught at the wickets by Pooley before he had scored. Spring began in a manner thafc showed he meant business. Lillywhite he cut for 3, and then bit him to leg for 4. Unfortunately for Otago, Dizon ran him out very carelessly next; over. Olark joined the Carisbrooke man, and drove Southerton down to the chains for 3, just over Selby's head, bringing 70 up. When he had scored 7 Pooley stumped him ; 76—10—7. Millington put his third ball from Lillywhite into Ulyett's hands, the penalty of slogging. Morrison drove his firet ball for 3, and then snicked ono into Emmett's hands ; 79 — 12—3. Lathbury drove tho nezt ball into Emmett's hands, and returned to the pavilion amid ohoors and laughter, and cries of " enoaro." Dixon was the nezfc victim, getting his leg in front of one of Southerton's ; 79—14—13. Matters looked very blue for Otago now, and hopes of averting a one innings defeat ap peared very remote. Rhodes, however, hit Lillywhite to leg for 4, and Nicholls did ditto to Southerton for a couple. Those, with byes, brought the score to 86, and now only 1 was wanted to prevent the dreaded disgrace. Whafc were fche feelings of tho spectators when Rhodes was stumped, and Lillywhite with the nexfc ball clean bowled Everest;. Several gentlemen then surrounded Oollinaon, wbo, on aocounfc of a bad leg, had not intended to zo in, and persuaded him to take his stand at fche wiokots with the hopes of Nicholls being able to make the necessary run. This he did in his ordinary dress, withi oufc pads or gloves, and gofc through the rest lof Lillywhite's over successfully. Fulton ran for him. Nicholls then faced Southerton, and cautiously looked around the field to sco ' whether it was safe fco make a slog. Ho app arently thought better of it, for the firsfc ball ■ he played can fully, and the eecond even more . so. The third was a loose one, and loud shoute i and yells and ohoerß were heard from every t part of the field as he cut past Jupp and » down fco the ohains for 3. Nofc oontent witb j this be gofc Lillywhite to leg for three, and • drove Southerton for a couple. A good many i maidens were bowled, and aB time drew nigh 5 for drawing the stumps, the Englishmer , began to look anzious. Only a quarter of at i hour remained, and the field carefuPy watched b every ball. Collinßon kept his wickets uj s bravely, despite his weakness, and oven drov« 9 Lillywhite for 1. Nicholls, wbo seemed to b< j very strong on the leg, brought up 100 by £ a fine hit in that direction again for 3, and thi 9 anxiety of fche onlookers grew painful i, Would they keep fcheir ground lonf c enough fco prevent the Englishmen getting c the required runs in fche time. The questiot o was very nearly answered, as Nicholls hit i a ball round his shoulder into Smtherfcon'i 3 I hands, who, for a wonder, lefc it fell out again

i Collinson then- got another single, and Hill went on in plaoe of Southerton, which gave i fche disabled hero of fche hour occasion to call > for bis pads. Nicholls drove Hill for a single, i and again had him for fche same number. He i then succumbed fco Hill, the total being 106, ; or 19 ahead of fche Englishmen. Ifc was now i within five minutes of tbe time, and as it was , evidently impossible for the Eleven to get fche i required runs in the time, the match was ■ drawn, greatly, of course, in their favour.
