WELLINGTON V. CANTERBURY

VISITING TEAM WINS BY 71 RUNS Br ToUßrnon—Preu AisooiaMon Christchuich, December 28. Tho cricket match, Canterbury v. Wellington, was continued to-day. Wellington boat Canterbury by 71 runs. Yesterday's rain had deadened the wicket somewhat, but it is doubtful if this gave either side any advantage.' The Wellington batting to-day was pnor,_ but Canterbury's was poorer, and this accounted for tho lattcr's downfall. Tho weather was beautifully line, and the wicket, though 6low, was easy and should have produced a lot move 111119 than were made on it. Thero was again a good attendance. With the exception of the SandmanDead partnership, Canterbury's batting to-day was disappointing. Wellington's fielding was again first-class. Brico bowled very steadily, and kept the 'batsmen very quiet. In Wellington's second innings there was only one batsman on the side", Hiddleston, and he batted in mastcrly style for his 39. It was an innings of very sound defence, with many good scoring strokes. MT.irr was missed tluec times in making his 35. Blunt 8 three wickets for 30 was. a capital .performance; he had most of the batsluen "iteming. The ground fielding of Canterbury showed a little improvement on that of the first innings, but the dropped catches made it anything but a creditable performance. There is little to be said about Canterbury's second innings. Blunt's early dismissal by an exception, ally good catch seemed to have a depressiiiE effect, and at no time did the side look lII®, making runs. Middleton put up a fine performance in bowling right 1 through the innings, and getting hvo for "I He was verv accurate in his length, but weak batting assisted him.
