Ollivier put McNeill away under his leg for 1, and cut Paramor for another. Moore now faced Paramor, and played the last two balls of the over in safety. McNeill bowled a maiden. Moore started with a single off Paramor, a sharp run in the slips. The next ball resulted in a misundorstanding, and one of the Canterbury men should have been run out, instead of which 2 leg byeß were scored. Ollivier's next score was a fluky 1 off Paramor, and he then drove McNeill finely for 4 and repeated it for 3 Moore then added a single, and faced Paramor, whom he sent to square leg for 2. Ollivier played an over without results from McNeill. Moore again hit Paramor to leg for 2, but this was his last effort, as he was well caught the following ball by Austen. This was a really fine piece of fielding, and the game looked very ecmal. 35—3—6. Ashby followed Moore, and hit McNeill for 2 and 1 in his next over. The batsmen 6tole 1 in Paramor's following over, and then Ashby cut McNeill for I—4o going up.

Oilivier drove the same bowler for a couple, but was then clean bowled by Austin after a hard-hitting innings of 32. 54 —4—32. J. Fowler filled the vacant wicket, and poked Paramor to mid-on for a single. He then skied Austen to cover-point for a couple, a very bad hit. A bye waß scored off the third of Paramor's next, and the next addition was a nice square-leg hit by Afhby off Austen. 00 was now up. J.

Ashby a single and a leg bye was the result of GHen's next effort. Vernon was now tried with the ball at the north end, Fowler scoring 1 off his firs' and Ashby ditto off hia second, while Fowler again scored off his last. This batsman's time was now come, as (Hen succeeded in lowering his wicket the first ball of the next over. He played good cricket for his runs. 89-s—lß Secretan followed and scored a couple immediately, he then drove Glen a good 1, and in attempting a fourth run, the ball was well returned to the wicket, which it rolled over, a the batsman had to retire. 94—6—5. W.

McNeill again wont on, and Frith scored off his first. Spring went short stop, so that another man might be avaiable for the field. Frith cut Glen nicely for 3, thus getting into double figures—llo up. Paramor went on once more, the score mounting by singles —l2O up. Ashby was now beautifully caught from a grand leg hit off Paramor, having made 40 in really first-class style. The batsman was heartily applauded on his entering the pavilion—l2o—7—4o. E.

Frith made his 33 in very good form, and kept the bowling well down with but few exceptions. Second Day. A beautiful day for the second day's cricket favored the players, and though it was considered that Canterbury ought to win easily, considerable interest was evinced in the match. The Canterbury men took the field at half past twelve, Hamilton again fielding for Cori'e, who could not get on the ground so early, and the Otago captain went in, having Crawshaw as a companion, to face the bowling of Ashby {north end), and Turner (south eiid). Fulton took the strike from Ashby, and cut Ashby for 1 the third ball, Crawshaw doing the same to the last ball of the over. Crawshaw slipped Turner for a single off that bowler's first, and Fulton hit him to square-leg for another. Ashby fl next wasamaiden. CrawshawgotTurnerawaytoleg for another single, and Ashby bowled a second maiden. Turner did ditto, the wicket playing very true, both butsmen cautious. Ashby sent down a third maiden. The Otago captain then cut Turner fine in the slips for a couple. Ashby disarranged Crawshaw's stumps with the third ball of his next over, the first wicket falling for 7 rnns. 7-1-3. Paramor was the next to appear, and Corfe took his place in the field. The Dunedin man hit AbM>> 8 last to square leg for 2. Fulton cut Turner herd to point, Moore finding it very well, and the over was a maiden. Paramor poked Ashby away to leg for 4, and 10 was hoisted. He however, was caught easily next ball, as he'put it right into Beard's hands at short lee 13-2—6 Haskell next came on the scene. Fulton got a iluky one off Tumor to square leg, and Uaskell slipped him for a single. Haskell cut Ashby for t the first of the innings Turner was credited with a maiden, and Haskell cut Ashby again for 3, bringing 20 up. The res' of the over was unproductive Haskell's time was come, as he sDOoned the third of Tumor's r.ext over into W. Frith's hands at short leg. The board showed 22 -3 —«. McNeill was next on the list, and he played the last of Turner's over safely. Ashby delivered a maiden, and Turner did the same. Fulton then after a long time add<d another single to his score from Ashby's next over, Corfe being unable to boll the bill, though ho got well to it. McNeill broke his duck's egg by driving Ashby to the on for a couple, but runs came slowlv, the next addition

to the score being 2 to Fulton for a leg hit. Ashby shortly niter ward a bowled McNeil with a shooter, the batsman appearing to doubt whether he was out. The ball only just dislodged the bails. 27—4—2. Clarke followed. Fulton got a couple for a niceish cut off Turner, and the adjournment took place, the score standing at 29 for four wickets.
