In the rest of the innings, however, the success of the liutsnici) was only spa.-modic, and the total was only 136. Canterbury batted out time, scoring 31. runs for ono wicket. The match was a r-plendid example of what fielding means to a sido. In Canterbury's iir.-t innings several catches were dropped, and two of them cost the outs 50 runs. The ground fielding was also only moderate. Even ill the half-hour of play when the visitors were at the wickets iu their second innings three catches were dropped. Canterbury, on the other han'i, fielded brilliantly, so that their rather woak bowling was made very effective, and runs were saved. time and again by smart returning of the ball.

Maitland people interested themselves so much in their champion's preparation that when the hat went round in the afternoons'sweet littk amounts were collected for the local hospital.
