WELLINGTON, January 26.

The cricket match was resumed to-day. The weather was glorious, and the attendance much better than on the previous day. Hia Excellency the Governor drove on to the ground during the afternoon. After lunch the Wellington team commenced their innings, the captain sending in Mace and Kennedy to face the bowling of Peate and Midwinter. Kennedy was run out in the first over, his place being filled by Mansill. Mace’s career was out short by his being caught at long-on by Scotton after scoring 4. Fulton was the next man, and signalled his appearance by hitting Peate out of bounds for 4, and followed it up with a cut for 2. Mansill then opened out, and drove Midwinter for 4 and Peate for a single. Midwinter here bowled a no ball. Fulton, in hitting out to one of Peate’s, got under it, and the ball going off the shoulder of the bat, dropped in Ulyett’s hands at long slip. The score was now three wickets for 29. Brown followed, and Midwinter bowled another no ball, and this saved Brown’s wicket, for the ball lowered his stumps. Mansill put his leg whore the bat should have been, and had to retire. Firth came in, and with Brown kept the wickets for half an hour, the bowl’ng being too straight to allow of their scoring. Firth gave both Peate and Barlow a chance, but they were refused. Before any further addition was made to the score Brown was foolishly run out, Firth refusing to leave his ground. Five wickets for 33. I. J. Salmon partnered Firth, and opened with a snick for 2 and drove the other bowler for a similar number. Salmon commenced slogging, and skied one of Peate’s into Ulyett’a hands. Barton, who was expected to make a good stand, was caught by Peate at mid-on after scoring 5. Firth made a total of 9, and then played Peate on to his wicket, Blacklook and Lynch were now together, and pulled the score up to 49. In attempting to steal a run Lynch was run out —91—49. W. J. Salmon came in, but in stepping out to a long hop from Peate was neatly stumped by Pilling—lo —1 sion now commenced, the next three wickets going for nothing. Cross joined Wilson, and bitting right and left soon knocked together 11. His life, however, was out short by a trimmer from Peate. Page came next, and after driving Midwinter to the ropes for 4, and cutting Peate for a single, was stumped by Pilling, Bead and Alpe were then together, but no stand could |be made against the bowling of the Englishmen. Alpe was soon disposed of without scoring, and the next four wickets fell for a single. Luxford and Armitage, the last two men, raised the total to 80, when Luxford was caught by Scotton, Armitage being not out for 10. The innings lasted about two hours. The fielding of the Englishmen was greatly admired, but at times it was a little loose, the men evidently not playing their beat. The following are the scores:—

The Englishmen changed their bowling, Bates and Emmett relieving Peate and Midwinter, and when the total was 4 Armitage was caught in the slips by Shaw. Kennedy followed, and Salmon retired, having been taken by Ulyett off Emmett. Mace came in, and soon gave the field more leather hunting, sending both Bates and Emmett out of bounds. Kennedy was again unfortunate, being foolishly run out. Mansill joined Mace, and four byes were run. After a couple of maidens Mansell was clean bowled by Emmett—four wickets for 34. Fulton joined Mace, but only in time to see his stumps lowered by Bates. Mace played a dashing innings for 18, and was loudly cheered on returning to the pavilion. When the total was 54 time was called, Wellington having lost ten wickets. This being only a two days’ match, it of course ends in a draw. WELLINGTON. Second Innings.
