ALL-ENGLAND ELEVEN v. EIGHTEEN OF CANTERBURY.

f'ECOND Day —February 27.

The following is the continuation of our report from the time of going to press yes terday : A maiden from Sweet followed. Selby put Frith's third to slip for 1, and the last he returned, to him. Sweet then sent Selby another maiden, and Hill got 1 for a poke to leg off Frith. Selby drove his last for 2 Hill then put Sweet behind the wicket for two, following this with an off drive for 4—lo up. In Frith's next over lie gave Selby one to leg, which he failed to catch fairly ; butlAlpe had him safe, and he had to retire—l(>—2—3. Jupp .now took. Selby's place to finish Frith's over, the second last one being rather a teaser for him Hill then put Sweet to the on for 2, and played the next; but the last H. "W. Moore caught, Avhich proved to be a ground ball, although some of the spectators seemed to think it was all right Sweet followed with a maiden to Jupp, Frith also obliging Hill with another. Somebody here got behind the bowler's arm, which caused a short delay. Sweet again obliged Jupp with a maiden. Fowler here appealed for leg before, which was given not out. Secretan then made a very good attempt to catch Kill at mid off, but it was just out of reach. Jupp mauaged to snick Sweet's last for 1, and 20 showed on the telegraph. Frith made another maiden, the last of which Jupp had hard work to stop. Ashby then went on at Sweet's end, and his tirst, Hill returned to him ; but he failed to hold it, and 1 was the consequence. There was then another run lost in the slips, and then Hill put the 1 bird to leg for 2. Jupp played Frith pret tily to leg for 2, which brought 30 up. The game now begin to be a little lively, both batsmen playing steadily. Hill hit Ashby for 2, and then cut him hard to the off, which was well picked up by Moore at point. Frith bowled a maiden to Jupp. Ashby with bis second ball clean bowled J i ill for 17 with a ball that would have taken any man—3l 3—17. Ulyett followed in to finish the over, and with a simialar bail Ashby sent him to the pavilion - 31 —4 0. B.e received a round of cheers. Greenwood, the fifth man, was the next to try and finish the over, taking guard very carefully, and succeeded in stopping it. Frith then sent down a maiden to Jupp. Greenwood cut Ashby's second hard, but Moore, who was about, had it safe, which saved Ashby's maiden. Off Frith's last ball, Jupp was beautifully caught in the slips by Fullc, thus repeating his yesterday's performance. Shaw was next to do battle for the Eleven, Ashby being the trundler. Greenwood put Ashby's second into the slips for 1, Shaw driving his next for 2, and the nest he cut behind for 4. Greenwood drove Frith's last for a single, and the first of Ashby's he put to the off for 1. Shaw then drove Frith hard for 1. A single to Shaw off Ashby followed, Greenwood putting him behind the wicket for another. Shaw then scored a single off the same bowler. Shaw hit hard at Frith's second ball, but failed to touch him ; in the next he put him in the slips for 2, although Noilson ought to have saved it. Greenwood put Ashby's second to the off for J, and the next one Shaw drove for another, Greenwood hitting the same bowler for 1-50 up. Frith sent down a maiden to Greenwood. Fuller went on in place of Ashby, Shaw being the defender ; this proved a maiden. Greenwood then drove Fiith to the on for 1, and the next one was stolen off the same bowler by Shaw. Off Fuller's second 3 were scored to Shaw, for a fine on drive. In spite of the cnange, runs kept coming very freely. Shaw hit Frith's second for' 1, Greenwood plying the remainder of the over. Fuller then treated Shaw to one of his bumping ones, hitting him on the back ; after this he drove him to th-3 off for a single. Shaw drove Frith's hack to hira very hard, but he held it, the next one being hit for ]. Shaw then hit him to the oil' for 2, and another 1 brought up GO. Gieeuwood hit Fuller for 1. Shaw, who had been hurt during the afternoon, was now allowed to have Charrsvood *Q ' run for; \\im, and off Fuller's fast he cjroye hiin for 2. Greenwood put the last of Frith's to the square leg for 4. Sweet was now put on again at his old end, and in his second ball Shaw was caught at point by H. W. Moore.-68-6 22. His score of 22 w?s a grand display of cricket, and he was loudly cheered on retiring to the pavilion. Emmett (left

hand) followed, and Greenwood took the rest of the over. Another change here took place, as the last was a success, b Ashby being put on at Frith's end. The first went off Emmett's fingers, and, through a bad piece of fielding, 3 runs were added to the -core. However, Ashby, to make even, clean bowled Greenwood with third ball. 71—7 —15. Greenwood, although he only scored 15, and-was in a long time, showed a very fair exhibition of cricket. Armitage followed Greenwood's retirement. Secretan showed a good bit of fielding, and saved a couple ; a bye was next run. Emmett drove Ashby's second to long-off for 2, and another in the same direction for 1. Emmett let out at Sweet, just touching him, throwing his bat away, and getting 1. Emmett then got 1 off Ashby, and Moore made a good attempt to catch Armitage at point, but could not reach the ball. Armitage then scored a 3 off Sweet, and Emmett put one away for 2. Our fielding was a little loose just about now, or another wicket would have gone without a doubt. A maiden was now sent down for a change by Ashby. Emmett and his bat again parted company, but without result. The next one —a lucky one—he got away for 4. Emmett returned one to Sweet, which he partly stopped, and then the batsmen started to run, but Corfe threw him out in fine style—B7—S—lß Emmett ran up his score very quickly, and showed some good hitting. Lillywhite, the last man but one. now went to the wicket, and hit Ashby round for 1. Lillywhite then got 1 off Sweet. Off Sweet's next Armitage was maguiticently caught by Alpe at long stop with his left hand, but he held on to it, and the batsman had to retire. Alpe received the loudest round of applause ever heard on the ground for this really good catch—9o—9—o. Southerton, the usual last man, now went in to tiy and swell the core. Lillywhite put the third of Sweet's up for 2. Ashby then sent down a maiden to Southerton, most of them being on the log, but he could not touch them. Lillywhite then hit Sweet for 1, Southerton finishing the over. Lillywhite put Ashby to leg for !. Sweet fielded the last ball from from Ashby very cleanly, saving a run. Lillywhite cut Sweet's third ball very hard, but Moore held him, and no results followed. This was a maiden, and Ashby sent one down to be even. Lillywhite lifted Sweet's last for 2 to long-off. Ashby sent down a maiden off Sweet's third, and Lilywhite sent him away for 2. Frith was now put on at his old end, and treated Southerton to a maiden. Sweet's was spoilt by being snicked for 1 off his last by Lillywhite. The light was now very bad for both batsmen and fielders. Southerton put rweet's third away into the slips for 1, Lilywhite also getting 1 off his last. 100 now appeared, which was received with applause. Lilywhite poked Frith's first round to leg for 1, being the only sco e obtained in the over. Fuller again went on, and off his first Stevens stopped a hard one at short-leg Another single was added by Lilywhite off Fuller's third ball. Iu Frith's next over 1 was obtained, Fuller following with a maiden. Frith, with his first ball in the next over, after a little consideration, clean bowled Southerton, closing for 104, which left our team 109 to get to win.

Third Day, February 28. About four o'clock this morning it menced raining a little, and continued off and on till about eight, when it ceased. There was another change in ihe wind. The match began with a northeaster, the eecond day we had a north-weater, and to day, by

way of a change, we had a south-wetter, but not an old fashioned one. Our men were up pretty eaily this morning, and wfnt in for n little batting in order that they might be ready to do "buttle for the province, and n possible to pull it off. Shortly before the appointed time the visitors began to rtsow up on the ground, and by the time that the match commenced there was a large number, evidently washing to be in time for the start. Our men have to get 109 to win. It was one o'clock before the Eleven took the field, which was placed as before, Ulyett and Emmett being the oowlers, W Frith fielding for Fhaw, who was disabled yesterday. Corfc and Leach went to the wickets for Canterbury, Leach receiving first ball from Dlyett from the north end, which was a maideu. Emmett then opened from the north end on Corfe, which was a bye. Leach put the last away to leg for 1. Ulyett's next was a maiden, all the balls being well on. Oorfe cut Emmett's last to the scorer's tent for a 4, which was all along the ground, thus repeating bis yesterday's performance. Another maiden from Ulyett to Leach followed, Ercmett following with another. Leach then put Ulyett's third in the slips for 2, receiving the last one on his thigh. Oorfe put Emmett behind for 1, Leach putting him to leg for 3—lo now appeared. Oorfe again put Emmett to leg for another. The last of the over Leach cut hard, but it was beautifully fielded. Oorfe sent Ulyett to leg for i, which was well fielded by Greenwood, for which there was loud applause. A 3o» bye was obtained off Emmett's first, which was the total for the over. Ulyett then bowled a maiden. Oorfe drove Emmett's first for 1, Frith Baving the second run. Corfe put one away to shoit leg for 1, which was run very smartly—2o up, Leach put one to long slip for 2, which was well returned, Leach having nothing to spare. Emmett with his first ball clean shattered Corfe's wicket with a shooter—22—l—-11. Watson (left hand) then Look guard against Emmett, and put the last away for 1. Watson put Ulyett's first away for 1. The light was now beautiful. Watson put Emmett ft*vay for 4 very nicely. Uryett then sent down a maiden to Leach. Hil>, the fast bowler, now went in in place of Ulyett, Jupp going a little further back from the wicket, and treated Leach to a maiden. Emmett then bowled Watson with a good ball—2 B—2—6. nte/ena took the vacant wicket, and received the last ball. Hill with his last ball sent Leach's stump 3 down—--28-3 —9. W, 11. Moore was the next man

to show for the Eighteen, and with Stevens was espeoted to make a stand, Smmett sending down a maiden to the latter; Moore put Hill's second to leg for I, Stevens just touching his last, but it did not get away. Moore then played a short one off Bmmett for 1; SO was now shown ou the board. Stevens put the last away for 1 behind the wicket, and then put Hill in the slips for 2, and through a bad start it nearly cost him his wicket. The nest was a leg bye; off Hill's lest Moore was caught by the bowler—--31—4—2. Sampson next came to the wickets, and Stevens received a maiden from Emmett. Hill, with his first ball, 6eut Sampson back to the pavilion without scoring On reEurning at ihree o'clock, after luncheon, Stevens and Godby went to the wickets, the latter going to receive the finish of Hill's over. Off the last he scored 1 with a nice easy drive. He then put Bmmett away for 1. Godby then seEt Hill's last to long slip for 2.
