THE GAME.

STAND BY BROOKS AND COOK. 115 RUNS IN 110 MINUTES. (Received June 21, 11.15 a.m.) LONDON, June 20. New Zealand won by ten wickets. Tiie two tail end men, Brooks and Cook, wdio had made such a determined stand on Saturday, continued their sturdy defence to-day, and surprised the New Zealanders by their spirited play. Cook placed ill's strokes perfectly, I hough bolli bowling and fielding were most accurate, and the keen pair added 115 more in 110 minutes, making 195 l'or the ninth wicket, and very nearly succeeded in saving a follow-on. Cook passed his century and remained unbeaten. Durham, on going in again, began well, Nichol scoring 50 in a breezy fashion in 50 minutes. At the tea adjournment only three

wickets were down for 83, but (in resu mi n g there was an amazing collapse. Cunningham, who mid not taken a wicket in the tlrst innings, and had generally been a failure so far, was the principal destroying age nt. Wi t h Henderson, who only li a d on e over, he wound up the innings in

short order. Neither howler was assisted by the wiclcet, and Cunningham bowled with real devil. The attendance was about 500.
