THE ALL ENGLAND ELEVEN AT DUNEDIN.

[PBBSB association thxhoram.l DUNEDIN, January' 14. Bain set in early this morning, and prevented the resumption of play till after two o'clock. The two not out men, Davenport ana Allen, resumed their place at the wickets, but the bowling was changed, Feate and Midwinter taking the ball in place of Ulyett and Baiby. An entire absence of wind made things much pleaßanter than on the first two days, and the rain had actually improved the wicket. Feate started the bowling from the vest end, and sent down a maiden, Midwinter following suit from the other end. In Feate's next OTor Allen's wickets were shattered—--2—6—29. Crawshaw took bis place. Midwinter was driven nicely to the off for 3 by Davenport, but his time shortly oame, he being taken in two minds by ft break back from the same bowler, and consequently losing his wioket—3—2o—3l. W. Frith succeeded. Crawshaw drove Feato to the off for 2, but in playing the next ball he lifted his foot from the crease, and was summarily stumped by Filling—4—2—33. Oorgill filled the vacancy, and Frith contributed three singles in rapid succession, followed by dropping on to one of Feate's and driving it well to the on for 4, and the next ball to leg for 2. Thin brought 40 up. Oargill then reoeived his quietus at the hands of Midwinter without scoring—--5—0—42. Dixon went to the wioketi in time to see Frith pull one of Feate's finely round to leg for 4 The next ball he sent almost into Selby's bands at mid-off, the fielder making a desperate attempt to catch it, but just failing. Midwinter bowled a maiden, and Frith then lifted Feate to the on for 1, next treating Midwinter to a straight

drive for a similar number. A tingle off Peate finished his career, for in Midwinter's next over he lifted him very softly into Peate's hands at raid-0n—6—16—49. Frith had played a nice free innings for his 16. Spring joined Dixon, who had been playing in a rather diffident manner, being apparently quite stuck up by the bowling. The new comer drove Midwinter well to the on for 3, but then lost his partner, Dixon hitting across a straight one from Midwinter, and a rattle behind tolling him that his time had come—7—o—s2. Harris wended his way to the wickets, and lifted the first ball he rooeived from Midwinter to tho off for a single. A maiden from eaeh end then oame, the last ball of Midwinter's over seouring a wioket as Spring soooped it up into Peate's handß in tho oil fiald—B—3—s3. Rattray followed, but when only two balls had gone Harris smoked one of Midwinter's into Shaw's certain grasp in the slips—--9—1—53. Strode was next man, but the seoond ball of Peate'B next over Rattray returned to the bowler—lo—o—s 3. Haskell followed, and soon made a start, driving two successive balls from Peate to the on and to square leg for 4, each amidst encouraging cheers. Another maiden from Midwinter was followed by Haskell driving Peate for a single and Midwinter right along the ground for 3. Strode at last opened his aocount by poking Midwinter to leg for 1, and Haskell collared a slow leg ball from the same bowler, sending it travelling for 2. His promising innings was then cut short by his poking a straight one from Midwinter up into Ulyott'a hands close to the wicket—ll—l4—6B. The retiring batsman was deservedly applauded for the free, oonfident innings he had played. MoGregor took his place, and five maidens came between the two bowlors, Strode all the time batting very prettily. MoGregor got a single for a drive off Midwinter, but this bowler then took Strode's leg stump—l2—l—69. The remainder of the innings needs no detailed description, as the five wickets fell for 5 runs. Alfred Shaw took the bowling from Peate, and in three maiden overs was oredited with three wickets, the wicket keeper taking one and the other two going in the slips. The following was the score : Otago Eighteen. Second Innings. Vernon, c Selby. b Ulyett 0 Davenport, b Midwinter 20 Allan, b Feate 6 Crawshaw, st. Pilling, b Peate 2 W.

The Eoglishmen thus wanted 3 to win, and Ulyett and Barlow quickly seoured these. The team continued batting, however, till 6 o'olook, losing six wickets in an hour and quarter for 54 runs. Ulyett was caught at point. Bates, who followed him, ran out to one of O. Frith's, but got under it, and sent it up, Crawshaw getting it deep in the slips. Sootton tried to hit out at the same bowler, but missed him, and his timbers fell. Shrewsbury tried tho same same, but S. Leith smartly stumped him. Emmett next oame, but lost Barlow by a catoh at slip. Barlow had played more freely than before, still out of his 14 twelve were singles. Midwinter took his place, but Emmet was presently caught behind the stumps. Selby joined Midwinter, and both remained till time was up. Midwinter did some big batting for his soore.
