CRICKET.

ALL ENGLAND ELEVEN v WELLINGTON TWENIT-TWO. [By Telegraph.] {From a correspondent of the Press.") Wellington, February 6. All the conditions for cricketing or for a public gathering were worse to-day than yesterday. It rained heavily all night, and almost without a break till the afternoon. The weather was hopelessly bad in the morning, and no attempt was made until three o'clock, when about 200 people were present. It was not until four that play commenced. The ground was even softer than yesterday. Of the Wellington Twenty-two, Glarwood, the "not-out” of yesterday, and Lockett, faced Shaw and Southerton. Southerton bowled a maiden for his first. Shaw sent in a. fast one, for which they got a bye. His next took Garwood’s bails off. Foley was next—sixteen now down for 25 Southerton clean bowled him with his first ball—seventeen for 26. Evans, the next man, shared the same melancholy fate from Southerton’s next ball. Mason followed. Lockett then hit one of Shaw’s right over his head to Hill, who judged it badly, and missed it. For this he got 2. He then poked one of Shaw’s to Greenwood, who of course held it—nineteen for 28. Hood, the next man, only bad one ball, being leg before wicket, bowled Southerton—twenty-four 28. The last man, Speed, now came, scoring 1 from Souther lon in the slips. Hood then cut Southerton well for two and Speed was bowled by Shaw in his next over, making the small total for Wellington of 31, 6 of which were byes. After ten minutes, Shaw and Selby went in for the Eleven, to the bowling of Armitage, fast round, and Anson, slow round. Mace took the wicket. Shaw made one to leg off Armitage’s first. Shaw and Selby each got one off Anson. Armitsge, who bowls in nice easy form, then bowled a maiden. Some singles followed, when Shaw made a good square leg hit off Anson for 4 to the boundary. Two maiden overs followed ; then Shaw made a splendid square leg hit right out of the ground for 6, off Anson. More singles followed, both men being well set. Garwood now came on in Anson’s place. Shaw hit his second ball for 3to leg; Selby made a straight drive off Garwood. Shaw drove Garwood to the pavilion for 3, These two had now headed the score of the Wellington twenty-two. Selby cut Garwood well for 2, Shaw then made a good leg hit for 1, the ball being well fielded by Kaye, as also the next to leg. Shaw made another 3to the boundary off Garwood, Cross now came on at Garwood’s end, His second ball proved too much for A, Shaw, clean bowling him for a well played 25. Bain now put an end to the game. All-England Eleven. Ist Innings, A. Shaw, b Cross ... 25 J. Selby, not out 16 Extras 5 Total ... 46 {Per Press Agency,') February 7. There was a steady rain all morning until one, when it cleared up, and orders were given to be ready to play at two. Shortly before that hour the weather looked like clearing, and play commenced at 2.30.
