CRICKET.

SOUTH CANTERBURY v. DUNEDIN. cond l eCOnd in the boReade to leg for a bnZ Pi & * OBCe Bent responsible for their displacement, gave thJ batsman the benehtof it. If, however Glen bowled him as most people affirm be did it waaamagmficent ball In his next over all got Hedley with a lull pitch. 3-4-17 Baklr was then joined by Fowler, and the twobSt batsmen of Canterbury proceeded to give the field some employment. Fowler out Glen hard, but m running three for the hit Baker all but lost his wicket. Baker followed this up hr a splendid drive into the pavilion, and Fowler imitated him by driving Glen straight down for 4, and treating him in the same manner for a couple. At two, when the score stood at 34, an hours adjjurnment for lunch was resumed at three 0 « olock< a j d i * our ’ hour during which Fowler and Baker remained together, the large croivd that had gathered on the ground were treated to a splendid exhibition ol cricket. Baker and hj owler, firmly set appeared to be doing what they pleased with the howling, both men playmg with great care and judgment, thehon drives and leg hits being the subjec of general admiration. When at 43, Fewler attempted to rUI i/fi r i a i j lt pom s by Baker » but it wm well fielded, and smartly returned by Sampson, and in consequence he lost his wicket, retiring to the pavilion amid applause from all parts of the ground. 4-43-91. Neilson then joined Bak ®r f and was soon dismissed by Glen. 6- 3 104. Hammerdey, the next comer, at once showed a determination to give the scorers some work, as he began by driving Paramor clean nto the ladies reserve for three, and the same for a simUar number. After placing nine to his credit, mretired in a most ignominious manner. Preparing to play the next ball, he °f Ut ° f am C^ ea f e ’ ftnd CoUiuson, who had not returned the ball, stumped him. 6—9 I3i. yooK joined Baker, who now gave the only chance m his innings. He skied Glen to the on. and Paramor, who by himself could have easily secured it, and Allen, third man went for iL with the result that neither got it. Cook was scoring fast and well when he lifted Glen well SancA Wher \?’ v lark havin K waited for a uSVi, CaU ! h< L hmL 7-15-148. Clarke bv d Glei hre ß t0 Q th i e KQ Core ’ a n a was clean bowled by Glen. 8—3—159; and Smith after getting two played Glen into Tait’s hands. 9-2-161* and Rees being absent the innings terminated! Baker carried out his bat for 70, the largest individual innings made in any first class match on this ground. It was a magnificent display of cricket, and justified the opinion we ed ° f f ffcer seei ug him play in the last luterprovmcial match. His friends made a rush and earned him shoulder high into the pavilion, the crowd meanwhile cheering lus- ? ta ®.five Collinson had before him the almost impossible task of making the eighty requn-ed to win in l esß .than auTiour? Tait and Sampson were first sent to the wickets co the bowling of i- owler and Neilson Sampson Played Nedson’s third ball on to his wicSs* i-0-0. Paramor jomed Tait, who cut Fowler 81n S e ’ an 4. d ( !r ove him a cou Ple, Paramor adding three to the scare with a drive off Neilsen, giving a chance in the slips, and another to Hammersley, but the third time it was too easy for Cook to refuse. 2—9—17. Macfarian after playing a maiden from Fowler drove Neilson for three, which he followed up with a couple of twos, when Tait received his dismissal from Neilson. 3-10-30. Reade. the next comer, was credited with a stolen run. when time was called, and the match declared a draw. Had the days play been commenced punctually or a short adjournment made made u U d b , a X2 be , en easil y finished. Thanks to Baker and Fowled South Oanterhury converted what, before they went to the wickets for the second time, seemed au inevitable defeat (if not in one innings) into a capital contest for the palm of victory. Taken all round, the play on both sides on Saturday was excellent. The bowling of South Can! Canterbury was immensely superior to that of Friday, and their fielding first-rate Iho same may be said for our own team and particular mention must be made of Sampson at point and H. Rhodes as longstop. The arrangements connected with the match gav« every satisfaction, and the condition of the ground reflected credit on Hendley (for whose benefit we might remind cricketers the last Cun match of the season, Merchants and Agents £ the Press, on Saturday next, is set apart). Subjoined are the scores in detail, in continuation of those published on Saturday. South Canterbury.
