AUSTRALIANS v. WELLINGTON. (Per Press Association.) Wkllinoton. Nov. 12. The Australians began a match against a Wellington 18 this afternoon. The wicket was dead after the night's rain and the sky overcast and chilly. About 1200 were present. Holdship won the toss and pat the visitors in. Iredale was soon disposed of by a re markable catch at point, but Darling i and Giffen did some brisk hitting, the former twice sending the ball over the ropes. He had some luck, being missed two or three times and his partner was also missed once. Hill played cheerfully and hit crisply and freely, but mostly for singles. Three wickots only were down for 111, but the game then took an unexpected turn as the local captain went on and got man after man caught. The last seven wickets only added 36, the total being 147- Of these Darling made 59, Hill 32, Giffen 23, Iredale 11. Holdship secured 5 wickets for 28 and Upham, who really showed the best bowling, 3 for 30. He bowled for an hour at the start without any luck and very few rues were made off him. Wellington's display with the bat was not prepossessing, four wickets rapidly i falling for 14. Holdship and Warren . are the not out men. McKibbin took 3 of the four wickets I and Trumble one.
