AUCKLAND. rFßoai Our Correspondent.] AUCKLAND, Dec 29. The final stage of the CanterburyAuckland match was begun to-day. Mills and Labatt failed to make any stand ; the latter, in the second over, poking up a ball to short leg, and A. Ridley, running across from slip, made a remarkably fine catch. Neill and Wright were soon disposed of, and with their dismissal any chance of Auckland's winning the match was gone. Pabst, contrary to his doctor's orders, came in to bat, but wa3 too unwell to feel at home with the bowling. A fine catch by Cobcroft disposed of Lawson, and the innings closed for 21S runs, leaving Canterbury an easy winner by 125 runs. Reese and Pearce bowled splendidly, and were fairly well backed up by the field. The Canterbury team will leave for New Plymouth immediately on the arrival of the mail boat from San Francisco.
