FIJI v. OTAGO.

Dunedin, February 3The cricket match between the Fiji team and Otago was plaj^ed to-day on the Carisbrook ground. The day was fine but overcast, and the attendance was very good. The game resulted in a draw though it was practically won by Ofcago. The visitors, who won the toss, sent in Otago, who put together 197. The Fiji team put together 73. As the public desired to see the Fijians field, the follow on was not insisted on. The Otago men hit at everything, and when 40 had been scored for the loss of 6 wickets the innings was closed. In a minority of 172, the Fijians went in for the second innings and when stumps were drawn at 6.30 6 wickets were down for 54. Caldwell made 20, and Udal 15. A cricket match took place at Birmingham on Saturday last between teams representing Birmingham and Peep -'o- Day and resulted in a win for the former. Following are the indivi-
