ENGLISHMEN WJN BY EIGHT

WICKETS.

Yesterday morning -at 11.30 this match j was resumed, when Thompson accompaoKitl v I . Warner to the wickets, andl the two iiiada ' l a long stand), being together till there was ; 80 on the board. Thompson diid most of the scoring!, andi soon got; a splendid hit foi 6 out of the ground', off Hcwden, and another boundary in the same over. W. B. Cave was then put on, instead oil Howden, and Warner brought 50 up by driving Fa<n- . nin to the boundary. Thompson cut Cave ', Avell for 4 off each of two balls in succes- , sion, and1 Banister replaced him, Howden going on at the railway end! in place of [, Fanniin. Thompson skied him to ■'the boundary, where J. Marshall diropped! it, a mistake which he attonedl for soon- after by accepting a more difficult chance from the N same batsmani, also on the boundary. In the meantime, however, Warner had played: j / Bannisfrier on. 80—3—27. The retiring batemmn had given a fine exhibition of ca^eful defence andl vigorous hitting. Wh'atmairt i hit Hoiwden dvea' the' boundary for 6, but immediately after he was well caught by Francis off a hard| hit to the boundary. Taylor came mv andl played cautious cricket, being le^ off by BL 8.. Cave when he ha<l : scared 1. Bosanquet was well caught by: H. B. Cave with1 the left hand! before he had scored. Williams was-soon bowled fey 1 Bannister, and 100-^7—l Was on the-board. Taylor scored a couple off Bannister oir the on, and was than giyen out leg-before-wicket—a doubtful decision. Johnson began . ]jy; two beautiful *leg glances., and Stanning did!; some beautiful driving, the two-maiding 15 runs off one over of Howden's^and Carradl went on). Johnson was well caught by Bannister, as was Stanning by Gordon, and HarcTeave being soon bowled by Bannister, Teftl Burnup, one of the best /bats in the teami, nob out. Tha . fielduiw1 of the Wanganui teami was creditable,"^. Marshall being perhaps the best. Scores:— ". ENGLISHMEN.—Krst Innings. Leathamij b. Fannin 0 Warner, b. Bannister, 12141221121422 27 Fane 4 o.

Empson, president of the local Association, the Wanganui team began their second innings. Hi. B. Cave was again unfortunate, securingi his pjiiir of specs. Tlien the Marshall brothers., again got together, and made a long stand, though both batsmen were somewhat lucky in being let off by the - Iwicketkeeper. Whatman, however, hadl his reyjeng6 in stumping both batsmen when the score was in the forties. Each had! made some fine strokes, and had defended! well against what was undoubtedly veryfine bowling on the broken pitch. After this there was a lamentable failure, only Fainm and Ridddford jhowinc a bold front, thcfigh these two hit out well for 11 and 7 respectively. The innnings closed! fan 77J leaving the Englishmen with 58 to get to 'win.
