Ui'llinnlon Oillego had'put. on an ag-lircg-jl/- ol' :i2;j runs in two imdngs, while, the visitors, who had scored 162 runs in Iheir first essay, had ono irickct down for 811 runs in tho second, and thus required only 75 runs to win, and nine wickets to fall. Tho task, however, proved beyond'them, Two of tho local bowl-ct:-:—Childs and Beard—were apparently in capital form and tho two not-out nnui were, quickly disposed of. Tho fall of Wanganui wickets thereafter was fast. Of tho remainder, Abraham was the only ono to make any showing against tho bowling but, when his score had reached 21, he. was cleau Ixnvled by Beard. Tho innings closed for IDS runs, and Wellington won, in rather surprising fashion, by 25 runs. Details are appended:— Wellington.—First Innings, Joplin, c. Gotz, b.
