THE AUSTEALIANS AT WANGANUI. [PBBSB ASSOCIATION TKLEGEAM.] WANGANUI, February 12. The match was resumed at noon, Spofforth and McDonnell facing the bowling of Bobertson and Fulton. The score stood at 18 for two wickets. Bobinson opened with a wide, but in his next over he clean bowled McDonnell—3 for 22. Murdoch took bis place, but lost his partner directly, Spofforth being taken at long-square by Miller, off Fulton, after scaring 8.—4 for 28. Slight joined Murdoch, but his stay was short, being caught by Jaoombs at the wicket after contributing 5. Jarvis was well caught by Wilson after scoring a similar number. Groube .'filled the vacancy, but Murdoch’s time had come, as he was taken by Beresford at cover-point, having played a fine innings for 36. Alexander joined Groube, but failed to add anything to the score—B for 73. White, the last man, came in, but after scoring 3 Bayley sent one down to Groube which he failed to stop, and as the Australians wore still one man short, the innings was brought to a close with a total of 83, or a grand total of 132. After the luncheon adjournment the Australians took the field, the local team having to make 85 to win, Lacy and Shirwell faced the bowling of Spofforth and Palmer, and neither batsman distinguished himself, the former being caught by Boyle off Spofforth’s second ball. Barton came in, but immediately after Sherwil! sent one back to Spofforth, which was held—2 for 23. Barton in the meantime had been making runs fast, a 4 to square-leg, and a couple of drives for 3 each being his principal hits. Bead was the next man, and showed some pretty play for his 9 befors he was stumped by Jarvis off Boyle, who had taken up the bowling at Palmer’s end—3 for 56. Barton continued to punish SpofSorth’s bowling, and although he gave a couple of ohanoes they were too hot to hold. Heenan took Bead’s place, but ikied his third ball, which was taken by Boyle—4 for 56. Farrington, the next man, fell a victim to the first ball from Palmer, who had relieved Spofforth—s for 56. Fulton joined Barton, who brought 60 up by a pretty cut for 3, Fulton went out to one of Boyle's,

and missing it was stumped by Jarvis after making 4—6 for 67. Soon after Barton lifted one of Boyle’s to the off, where Slight made a well-judged catch. His innings of 44 was made by very free hitting—7 for 68. Cross and Beaford failed to add to the score 9 for 70. Miller was joined by P. Bayley, and the two contributed 20 before the former succumbed to one from Spofforth, who had taken the ball from Boyle—lo for 80. O. Bayley joined his brother, but put up one at point, where Spofforth was waiting—ll for 81. Rid deford went in and cut hi* second ball for 2, bringing the score to 83. A smok to the slips for a single brought the score to a tie amidst a round of cheers. The winning hit was made by Bayley, who put one to square-leg, and the match was won by ten wickets. The following are the scores s— ■

There were over 2000 persons present in the afternoon, and the victory of the local players was very warmly received. The Australians say it was a hard-fought match, but they blame the ground.

ELEVEN V, FIFTEEN.

The above was the title of the Association match on Saturday last, but the Fifteen resolved itself into thirteen in consequence of the absence of several players and substitutes not being available. The Eleven took first innings on an excellent wicket, and for some time gave the field plenty of work. Watson and Hartland kept their wickets in order, notwithstanding repeated changes of bowling, and the score increased under their able manipulation. No chances were given, and the bitting of both batsmen was clean and hard. With the total at 73, Watson just touched the ball, and was caught by Fenwick, but the fait was not heard by the umpire. The second ball afterwards, however, he touched a little harder, and was neatly caught, after having put together 26 in good form. D. Ashby came in, and quickly gave a chance to short leg, but Boss somehow failed to hold it. He drove the next ball for 5, which he followed up with a out for 4, but after putting on 7 more by a leg hit for 5 and two singles, he gave an easy chance to Helmore—2 for 104. W. Frith gave a chance to Meares at mid-off—3 for 106. J. Fowke joined Hartland, but after the total had increased by 16 the latter }iit the ball hard to Ollivier, close in, who failed to get hold of it, but a grand ball from Chapman lowered the leg stump—four for 122, of which Hartland made 62 by fine cricket. His principal hits were two s’s, five 4’s, two 3’s, and four 2's. Beeves assisted the score to 133, when a fine ball from Frith caused a vacancy in favor of Stevens, who, however, did not long maintain his position. £. J. Ootterill made 7 before he was bowled off his pads. Fowke was next to retire, being caught by Seeretan after playing a careful innings for 25, in which he showed his defensive powers. Bedmayne and Fuller brought the score to 183 before the latter was run out in attempting to run 5 for a grand cut off O. Frith. Bedmayne carried his bat for 15, made in good style. He made a fine drive for which 5 were run, C. Frith improved very much towards the middle of the innings, bowling in something like his old form. Chapman also bowled well. The following is the score :

WOOLSTON T. SCHOOL OF AQEIOULTDBE. A match between the above clubs was played on the ground of the latter, at Lincoln, on Friday last, when the College boys played their maiden match with a visiting team. The victory was scored to Woolston on the result of the first innings, but some very promising play was shown by some of the atter club in the second innings. The visitors were hospitably entertained by the Director of the school, and a very enjoyable day was spent. The following are the scores : WOOLSTON.

The match Sydenham versus S.A.M. Society was played on Saturday on the Sydenham Ground, and resulted in rather an easy win for the former by eight wickets and 3 rune. The Society in their first innings scored 41, and in their second 38—Johnstone 21, Brunt 11, and W. Hall 11 were the chief contriouters. The bowling of W. H. Smith against the society was very destructive, taking seven wickets at a cost of 15 runs. Ijawronce also bowled with success. The first innings of the Sydenham Club produced 53 runs, and in the second two wickets were down for 30 runs. Smith contributed 15 and Chambers 13.
