(Received 31, 11.30 a.m.) LONDON, July 30. Bereft of bowlers through the illness of Cowie and the leg trouble of Dunning, -New Zealand delayed thexr declaration until lunch. New Zealand won by 143 runs. Scoring briskly Weir gave a fine aisplay of ciean hitting, his score including two huge sixes on to the pavilion roof, and six fours, Wallace was enterprising ; he hit eight fours. He was dismissed when a v'ery fine throw m hit his stumps. Gover was not particularly troublesorne in either inninga, hut the pitch was enough to break the heart of any fast howler. Still, he may be recalled for the third Test, but a big body of opinion favoura Farnes. Page, appearing in the uflusual role of opening the bowling, took a wicket with the first ball. After this Surrey scored rapidly. Instructions to get runs or get out were issued by Holmes when the score was 86. Gregory scored a brilliant century at the rate of a run a minute. He hit 13 fours. Surrey collapsed after tea before the slow bowling of . Moloney, Gallichan and Vivian. New Zealand' s success was doubly creditable m view of the perfection cf the pitch and the depletion of the attack. The bowlers we*e supported by excellent catchjng. With Cowie, Dunning and Roberts all on the casualty list, the New Zeaianders have a battle-seared legion for the second game against Glamorgan.
