THE CANTERBURY ELEVEN IN VICTORIA.

[By Cable.] THE BOHEMIAN" MATCH. CANTERBURY DEFEATED BY EIGHT WICKETS. [from oue special correspondent.] MELBOURNE, Jan. IG. Neilson and W. Frith, batted extremely ■well, and took the score over the century before they were separated. With the exception of Lee and Fowler the rest of the batting was poor, which may in a measure be accounted for by the extreme heat. The Bohemian bowling was very weak, and the score ought to have been much larger. The first Bohemian batsmen were in grand form, especially Campbell, and as the bowling was by no means on the spot, the score mounted at a terrific pace. Robinson played well for 34, and at the call of time Campbell and Darke were still in, with the score at 142. To-day, however, C. Frith and Ashby bowled splendidly ; Darke was immediately caught, and Campbell had only time to increase his score to 92 when he was caught by Ollivier. The wickets then fell in quick succession, Ridderel alone doing anything, but the innings produced the large total of 236. Jan. 17. With the exception of Hartland the batting of our men yesterday was very poor, whilst the Bohemian bowling was really good. Moule's average for his six wickets was particularly good. Canterbury making only 105 in their second innings, left their opponents only 67 to make to win, which; was done easily through the grand\ batting of Robinson, who ran up 49, not out, without giving a chance. Our men were quite fagged and done up. The match was lost by eight wickets. The following is the complete score : CANTERBURY. First Innings.
