THE INTER-PROVINCIAL CRICKET MATCH.

Our Christchurch files per overland mnil are very incomplete, so that we are without the papers containing a report of the first clay’s play, Of Otago’s second innings we learn from the Press that it was after lunch that Canterbury took the field, Lee commencing the bowling at the upper end. Headley and Brawa, the not-oabs of the previous innings, were the first to appear for Otago. When 4 runs had been scored Brown was run out, and Headley was immediately afterwards caught at point. Beade hit more to leg for 3, then played Lee to square leg. Had the ball been fielded properly Kettle would have been inn out; the next ball, however, bowled him—three wickets for II runs. After a maiden from Moore, Macdonnell skied Lee to mid-on, but was badly missed. The score mounted to 30, nearly all the runs being made by Beade, when Macdonnell hit the ball into his wicket. Cairns was well caught at the wicket off the next ball—four and-live Wickets for 3l>. Pieros then went on at the upper end, and his second hall was hit to leg, high up, Ollivicr failed to catch it, but returned the hall very quickly, and Reads was run out in attempting a second run—six for 34- Macfarlan directly afterwards ran himself out--seven for 34. The next man, Holmes, 1 drove Pierce to the off for 3, and then maue another splendid off drive from Moore up to the scorer’s tent, for which 4 were run. Oil' the last ball of the same over he made a magnificent si)ware leg hit for 4, nearly down to the pavilion. Perry relieved Moore at the lower end, and Allen put up an easy one to mid on—eight for 40. Aids drove Pierce to the on for 3, and Holmes in the same over hit the ball hard hack to the bowler, but escaped. Perry then howled Aids—nine wickets for, 49 runs. Cqllipsoa was not sufficiently recovered from his accident of the previous'day to.be able to, go in, which is the more to ha regretted, as it deprived Otagoof the semQei of perhaps the. best hat in their Meveip Canterbury, thus won in one innings, with 29. runs to spare, Thu umpires, Messrs Wills and Alingtoji, performed their, part to the satisfaction of everybody ; indeed we have not heard of a single oqe of their decisions being questioned, The following are the scores in e.etemo OTAGO.
