The following is a full account of this 1 match, the beginning of which was given 1 in our issue of yesterday:— There was a strong wind blowing from the ' south, which interfered greatly with the 1 game. The visitors having won the toss took the field, and Sumpter and Kneen ‘ for Oamaru took their places at the wickets. 1 A maiden was played by each, and then Kneen cut Buckland for 2. Sumpter • scored 2, and then Kneen secured a single • off Buckland. Each batsman then scored ‘ two singles.

Millington joined Snow, the latter play- - ing a careful innings. Millington had only ■ scored 1, when he was dismissed by Buckland—6—1 —50. Marshall, the new man, 1 commenced with a 2.

Two more to Snow, 1 to Millington, and 3 to Snow J brought the score up to SO. After playing i for some time. Snow got the only 4 of the 1 innings. Millington was then bowled by Buckland—l0 —3—BB. Snow played well and carried out his bat. Testro and Barton for the Auckland team appeared to face tho bowling of "Walls and Millington. The former scored 1 off Millington’s first ball, and then drove "Walls for a brace. Shortly after Testro was caught by Sumpter at the wickets—l —l—l2. Arneil scored a single. He followed this up by a 3, a 2, and a single. < Arneil and Barton appeared to be in- 1 sepal-able, and kept the field busy by care- ■ ful and capital play. Arneil had scored 20 before he was bowled by "Walls—2—2o —4l. Tates succeeded Arneil, and Hardy ■ took the ball from Millington. Off his second ball Barton scored 2. Each batsman then got a single off Hardy. After i another single for Yates, Ewart took 1 Hardy’s place at the bowling, and shortly i after Yates was taken at the wickets by Sumpter—3—s—sß.

The score had reached 130 before Barton was bowled by Millington—4—6s —l33. Barton played a capital innings. Eobinson took Barton’s place, and commenced by scoring 2 off Millington. Euns were frequent, and 141 had been reached when Blair was caught by Marshall—5 —33 141. O’Brien took Blair’s place, and Eobinson was caught at mid-on by "Walls—6—2 —141. Gardiner filled the breach and snicked Millington. Time was then called. THIS DAY. ' The match- was resumed at 1.30. The weather was splendid. Auckland, with six wickets down for 142, resumed their first innings. Gardner and O’Brien, the not outs of yesterday, took their places at the wickets, tho former taking first ball from "Walls, G. Millington bowling at the other end. Gardner played both bowlers for singles, and slipped "Walls neatly for a couple. Both men got singles, and then O’Brien put Walls prettily to leg for a couple. 150 now appeared on the telegraph. Gardner lifted Walls away to long-on for 2. Singles continued to augment the score. O’Brien, who had now been in long enough to get rid of any surplus nervousness, got Walls prettily to leg for 3, and 160 appeared. Gardner let out again at Millington, and got 2, but was clean bowled by next ball —7 —ll-—163. Buckland was the next man in, and the bowler put his field well out. Precaution was unnecessary, as the third ball took his stumps—B—o— Gill followed him. O’Brien assisted his score with a grand leg hit off Walls for 4, and GILL similarly operated on Millington for 2, and a single brought 170 up. Gill now became decidedly lively, slogging the bowlers all over the field, and especially to leg, one grand drive for 3 being out of the boundary. Stewart was put on at the upper end, and yet Gill flourished. O’Brien was playing more carefully, and consequently scored less rapidly. Following several singles Gill skied Millington close to the pavilion, and got 3 more—l9o was registered on the telegraph, and Gill by two more fine drives added half-a-dozon more. It was now pretty certain that the score would exceed 200, but for fully five minutes not a run came. Walls replaced Millington and Gill signified his approbation by hitting him away twice to long field for 3. The telegraph now showed 200. with a decidedly upward tendency. Walls was again taken off, and Millington resumed his old place. Gill skied the first at cover point, whore he was splendidly caught by Kneen —9—31 —208. Lankham was last man, and was nearly caught by long stop off the first ball, but missing it a°single was run. O’Brien continued to improve his score by some good cutting, for singles. Lankham got another single, and then put Walls prettily to leg, bnt only for one run, and O’Brien did the same several times in rapid succession Lankham .cut Walla neatly for 2, and driving Mil-

lington, brought 220 up. The scoring now became rapid, O’Brien running out and slogging Walls’ short pitched balls. Singles brought Lankhara within double figures when O’Brien, running out to Millington, was stumped—lo—3s—232. Lankham carried on his bat for 10. The following are the scores : Oamaru.
