CRICKET NOTES, BY “NOT OUT."

INTBBPBOYINOIAIi OEICKET MATCHES. By Not Out. The fifteenth match was played at Dunedin on the 21st, 22nd, and 23rd February, and resulted in another easy victory for Canterbury. Neilson, who acted as captain for Canterbury, won the toss, and elected to bat> going in first with Qodby. Paramor and Dison started the attack. Play at first was steady, but an unfortunate run-out caused Godby to lose his wicket. Ashby fared badly, and Neilson soon afterwards was caught, three wickets being down for 26. Moore commenced in earnest, hitting the bowling to all parts of the field, while Hartland contented himself with smaller contributions. At 50 Austin relieved Paramor, and the change soon proved effective, as Hartland played one into the hands of Rose. 58—1—11 appeared on the telegraph when E. Fowler joined Moore, The score now

advanced rapidly, Moore frequently going out of his ground, and driving the bowling for 3’s and I’s, At 90, however, Fowler was bowled by Glen, who had taken the ball from Dison—Stevens joined Moore, who still continued to score as rapidly as before. The first 100 soon appeared, but at last Moore was caught after putting together 75 by some of the finest batting shown on the Dunedin ground. His chief hits resulted in six l’s> eight 3'a, and seven 2’s. W. Frith filled the vacancy, and commenced a very lively innings, hitting the ball to all parts of the field cseept where the fieldsmen were placed, Stevens, unfortunately, was run out after contributing a steady 15. Austen and W. Frith, however, caused the second hundred to appear before the latter was caught for a spirited innings of 51, made up by two 4’s, seven 3’s, and O. Frith and Fuller were both well caught before they had time to score, and the innings closed for 214, of which Austen claimed 23 (not out) made by steady play. With a long score against them, Otago commenced their innings with Austin and ■ Dixon, but the Fates were evidently sgainst them, as the wickets fell fast before Ashby, who was in good form. O. Frith, of whom much was expected, did not come off. Spring, Clark, and Paramor each made 16, which was the highest score of the innings, Austin being the only other player who obtained double figures. The innings closed for 83, which necessitated a follow-on. With 131 to tho bad, Otago commenced their second innings with Paramor and Haskell, Fuller and W. Frith opening the attack. Euna came quickly, but at 19 Haskell was bowled by Fuller, a fate which soon afterwards befell Paramor. Spring and Dixon made a long stand, although runs at first came slowly. 60 appeared on the board and Moore relieved W. Frith, Who was not successful, The change had the desired efiect, as at 62 Spring gave a chance to Hartland, which was not refused. The retiring batsman made 17 in good style, hitting well after the first few overs. Three 3’a and three 2’s were the result of his best hits. Clarks filled the vacancy, and quickly began to score. Neilson took the ball from Moore, and Ashby relieved Fuller. The latter bowled seven maiden overs in succession, but Neilson was unsuccessful, and gave way to O. Frith, who had Dison 1 b w in his first over. Four for 87, of which Dixon made 30 by steady play. He is a very stubborn batsman, and did good service to his side. Craw ehaw joined Clarke, and showed good defence. Euns still coming, W. Frith went on in place of Ashby, who soon afterwards relieved O. Frith. Loud applause greeted the ICO as it appeared on the telegraph, and it was not long before 110 was up, but after 5 more had been added Clark put up a ball from W. Frith, and was caught by Fowler, having played an excellent innings for 30 just when wanted. Cargill joined Crawshaw, and was almost immediately let off at the wickets ; but Crawshaw did not escape, being caught off the slows, after making 12. Sis for 124, and only 7 runs wanted to save the innings. McNeill came, and with Cargill quickly made the much desired number, which was the signal for much cheating. Cargill gave a difficult chance to W. Frith, but escaped, McNeill, however, fell a victim to Ashby, after making 6. Austin filled the vacancy, and with Cargill continued in possession until time was called, the score being 157. Upon resuming nest day, Austin scored a single and a 2, but then played a ball from Ashby with his leg instead of his bat. Cargill was clean bowled by O. Frith in the nest over without adding to his previous day’s score. He played well for his 20. Bose and Glen—the last two men—were together, but the latter seemed to have a charmed life, as Ashby hit his wicket but the bails did not come off, and he then went in for slogging, and quickly made 13, the total being 185 when he was caught,

With 55 to get to win, Neilson and Godby went in to the bowling of Austin and Glen. Bans came steadily, and at 25 Paramor relieved Austin, which had the effect of stopping the runs for a few overs. A 3 by each batsman caused 30 to appear, and Bison took the ball from Glen. Neilson soon afterwards, in hitting ai a short-pitched one to leg, was caught by the long-stop. Ashby joined Godby, and very few overs were required to finish the game. Godby hit one from Paramor hard to square-leg for 4, which he followed by a cut for 3. Dixon bowled a wide. McNeill then relieved Paramor, and Ashby cut his second for 4, and hit his next over the fence for a similar number. In the next over Godby made a single and won the match by nine wickets. In this match Canterbury played two colts—T. Hartland and B, G. Austen—both of whom showed good form. Otago played T, Austin, W. Crawshaw, U. McNeill, J. Spring, and Haskell for the first time, and with practice they will all do good service or their province. The following is the score :
