ALL-ENGLAND ELEVEN v. EIGHTEEN OP OTAGO*

[By Telegraph]

JDunedin. March 3

Play was repumed this morning a few minutes after twelve o'clock, under most favorable auspices as regards weather, the sun shining brightly, and there being but a slight breeze, Millington commenced bowling at the south end, Dixon bowling from the north. The position of the hold was the same as last evening, but Oolliuson having again spraiued his bad knee.jMacDonnell took his place. The attendance of the public was not large at the commencement, but it gradually increased during the day, until fully 60)0 people were present. The first ball from Millington Jupp played forward, for which a run was made through bad fielding Dixon bowled a maiden, as did Mllington, a bye being run meantime. H 11 got the third ball off D.xon's next over pas-t Meares at short leg for 3. and the third ball from Millington he cut down to cover point, for which one run was got through Mo;rison's loose fielding. This Hill followed up by driving Dixon high to leg, clean out of the boundary, for which 4 were scored. Jupp stole 1 by snicking Millington pant poiut for 1, and another by putting Dixon just beyond Millington's reach. The third ball from Millington Jupp drove straight, intoCirgill's hand at point—l—3—l9 Charlwood put Millington to the off for a single, which brought 20 up. He next drove Dixon up to the pavilion fence for 3, A maiden from Millington followed, and the last ball of Dixon's next Hill hit hard to leg for 3 A couple of singles off Millington followed, and the latter's last bad of the over Hill hit round over his shoulder, where Khodes secured it—just such another catch as alpe made \\iih Armitage at Hagley Park. 2—19—28, Dlyett, the next comer, started off by driving Dixon to squire leg for a couple. In the next ball Spring appealed for catch but without success, aid immediately afterwards Ulyetb gave an etsy citch to Millington which theOamuu lxVicr declined. After two more singles off Dixon, the second ball of Millington's next; over Charlwood drove past long off for a couple, somo very fielding beiug shown in the return of the ball. Ulyett broke Dixon's succession of maide.np by driving him past

M-ioDourjtdi at long off for a single. Ulyett -.mrdshtd Dixon by driving hitn to the fence for 3, Chavlwood gfcM.incr similar number by cutting his next ball, which Everest let pnss between bis lego. Charlwood followed with snicking Milliugton for a single. Everest, •eft hsnd, who could only have found a place in the team on account of his bowling, was now put on in place of Dixon. Charlwood nut his fourth ball, for which, thanks to Hose, two were got. Three Dingles were obtained off Milliugton'a next over, and the telegraph showed 50. Ulyett drove Millington hard along the ground up to the grand -tftnd for 3. In the fifth ba!! of this over Charlwood gave a chance, which Dixon, at cover, to the surprise of most people, de dined to take. After a few minutes' interval Ulyett recommenced the attack by driviug Millington for a conple, and placing him with judgment just beyond Curgill for point. A number of piagles followed, the laat one being fairly ftolen through Ulyett'a smartness, 70 appeared on the telegraph. Two more singles were got off Millington, who then bowled a wide, and Ulyett drove Millington on to the stand for 3, and Otago'a score was exceeded, Everest bowled a maiden, when an adjournment for lunch was made at 2 pm. In the interval the weather changed very suddenly, and thick hanging clouds betokened approaching rain. At 3 play was resumed, Tjathbury taking up the ball at Millington's end. Off his hist ball Charlwood scored a single. Three byes brought up SO. TJlyett then cut Eveies*", which Nicholls fielded very smartly, and 1 only was run. Then OhriTlwood got a couple by cutting Everest, and in the second ball he drove Lathbury high to the off, clean out of bounds, for which 4 were counted. This was the hit of the match. After driving Everest for 3, Ulyett hit the last bail of the over high to the on, which Morrison secured amid great checing. It was a really splendid catch—3—3B inning*, and he went in for hard hitting. !Se!by, who took his place, was nicely caught behind the wickets by Spring's finr, ball —4 o—9l. Charlwood then got a 3 and a 2 for two splendid leg hits, one off each bowler, and going out to meet Ev< res ! - he beautifully stumped by Spring—s 32—97. Chartwood's finings was a most patient one, and was the perfection of careful defence. Greenwood now lifted Lalbtmry high and clear out of the oval for 4, which brought the ceutury on to the telegraph. Greenwood similarly treated Lath bury'a next over, 3 counting for the hit. Emmett commenced by treating Everest to a specimen of his lifting capabilities, the ball going over the scoring tent, and just striking the top of the fence. Millington relieved Lathbury, and his first ball Emmett put away into the slips for a couple. Greenwood's time had now come, he placing one from Everest into Cnrgili's hands. 6—12—114. Armitage scored a siugle off Everest when heavy rain compelled the men to take the shelter of the tents and booths After waiting half an hour to see if the weather would clear up, and the rain coming down heavier, it was decided to draw the stumps and to resume play at 10.30 am. on Monday, On the whole the fielding of the Otago men has been very loose—Hill, Charlwood and Ulyett had several live?. Exceptions must be made in favor of Oargiil at point, Allen at mid on, and Austin at leg, whose fielding was firstclass. Spring's wicket keeping was greatly admired, Unless fortune favors Otago on Monday, and they dispose of the rest of the Eleven in quick time it is improbable that the match can be played out, as the team proceed overland to Invercargiil by special train early on Monday eveuing. Everest's is the only bowling which the Englishmen did not play. He has a good style with plenty of break. {Per Press Agency., Third Day. Duxebin, March 5. The weather is again magnificent, ''he match was resumed shortly before twelve o'clock, Armitage and Emmett, the "not out--," appearing at the wickets. After scoring 19, Emmett was beautifully caught by Spring behind the wicket - 7—l9 —148. Southeton joined Armitage, who was caught by Paramor at short slip. 8—26—159. Pooley supplied the vacancy, and Southerfcqn was caught by Oargiil at point. 9-4-160. Lillywhite went in last and did not score. Pooley being easily caught by Mears. 10—3—163.
