THE CANTERBURY ELEVEN IN VIOTORIA. ♦ [By Cable.] THE BOHEMIAN MATCH. [feom oub special cobbespondbnt.] MELBOURNE, Jan. 15. The Bohemians put a strong batting team against the Canterbury Eleven, but it was weak in bowling, and tbe New Zealanders scored well from the start. Ollivier again batted determinedly, and looked in for a good score, when he was caught off M'Evoy. Ashby, after a promising beginning, was clean bowled. Wilkie, whose prowess as an underhand bowler is well known, disposed of Baker ; but Neilson and W. Frith were not so easily got rid of, and are still in with the score at 70 for three wickets. The following is the score : — CANTERBURY. First Innings. Ollivier, c Campbell b M'Evoy ... 27 Ashby, b M'Evoy 14 Baker, b D. Wilkie 6 Neilson, c Wilkie, b M'Evoy ... 33 W.
