i ' The Canterbury team, on tbeir return to Christchurch, were feted by Host Maples, of the: Garnck Hotel—himself an old and enthusiastic cricketer. , The chair was occupied by the Superintendent; and .tkere was the usual toast-making. Mr Fred. Bussell responded for Otago. Mr E. J. C. Stevens gave the team some excellent advice ; they had won the match, he would ask them not, to rest secure, not to become careless Us to their practice. There Was no denying this fact, that their eleven this year were not in such good form as regarded fielding, and therefore he hoped they would not now, because they had won the match, relax their practices, which were now as necessary as ever; Another thing he wanted to urge upon them was not to allow their matches to fall through, not to let the Interprovincial match .be the. end of cricket for the^ season, fie hoped they would all make their arrangements so as to attend their Saturday matches,,which he desired to see carried > out successfully. By doing thii, they would be advancing the true interests of cricket.” The eleven were challenged to play a fifteen to-day, consisting of Messrs Beard, E, • Cotterill, H. OotteriQ, Cuff, Dickenson, Frith, Fuller, Macquarie, Boeder, Sbntfer, Stevens, Smith* ,G. A. Taylor, J. M. Taylor, and A. C. Wilson. The places in the eleven of Messrs Lee and Neilson, who arc absent, will be filled by Messrs H. Loughnan and G. Turner.
