THE DINNER was given at the Imperial Hotel last night, Mr Holmes (president) and Mr Eva (vice-president) of t le Dunedin Club respectively, occupying the chair and vice-chair. Th j chairman was supported on his right by the Canterbury captain, and on his left by the Otago captain. After ample justice had been done to the excellent repa-.t provided by Host Haydon, The Chairman proposed the toast of ‘‘The two_ Elevens,” saying that as regarded the Christchurch cricketers he need not say much to commend them. “Good wine needs no bush,” and all knew toe qualities of the team. (Applause.) The Dunedin men had played well, and it was quite on the cards that they might yet win the match. In no interproviucial match yet had so good a display of cricket been evinced, and the side which won tire victory might well bo proud of it. With the toast he coupled the names of the res e tivc captains. * i

Mr Ollivieh, on behalf of Canterbury, returned thanks, and mentioned that, in former times in an Interprovincial match, it was not an unusual thing to see a batsman go to the wickets only to return tbo first ball, it ow a straight ball must be delivered before a man could bo got ou* - . Mr H. Godbv also returned thanks, and maintained that, notwithstanding the disparaging rema ks made as to the selection of the Otago team, the play had justified the choice. He admitted that the fielding had at times been bad, but hoped that a victory for Otago might yet be scored.

Ihe other toasts were “Umpires and Scorers “ The Vice-Chairman,” in proposing which Mr Lathbmy referred in a flattering manner to the pains t iken by Mr Eva to bring the mat'.h to its present stage), “The Press.” and “The Chairman.”

Many of the company then left for the ball at tie lempei'ance Hall, Those who did not do so spent some time very pleasantly in singing, &o. Mr A. J. Towsey assisted at the piano.
