HUTT v. WEL-LTISraTON".

Requiring 170 to win, Boss (21) and Birch (11), resumed batting. "With the scoxe at 44, Boss, who had not increased his total, was caught in the slips. Lees reached double figures quickly, but drove one back to the bowler after scoring 12. MeKay did not appear at" ail comfortable during,a short stay at the crease, being adjudged l.b.w. with his score at 3. Aldersley batted freely for 17, during the scoring of which he had a couple of lives. McGirr followed, only to see Birch caught'at mid-on after playing a very sound and useful knock for 28. McKenzie joined McGirr who, instead of taking matters steadily as the state of the. game warranted, ) elected to have a "dip" and paid the penalty by being caught at cover point. 105 for 7. Pete Judd joined MeKerizie and held his end up until the score •reached 130 when Goodwin got' a beautj- past -him. With eight wickets ctown for 130 the match appeared to be a foregone conclusion, but Warnes and McKenzie settled down to a display ! of sound batting, which would have j done credit to a couple of veterans. • With the score, at 150 tea adjournment was taken,^. Hutt still requiring 52 to head Wellington's total. Upon resuming the two; colts set out to, reduce the margin;. The score • mounted steadily despite frequent.. ; changes of bowling, helped by good fielding. MeKenzie i brought 200 up, by -hooking a short one to the boundary on. the leg side, the winning hit being made shortly aftox. With the Score at 228 Warnes was bowled after contributing an invaluable 46, the partneship failing two "short of century. E. Judd was the last man in, and was. bowled after having one -hit, which realised 6. MeKenzie carried his bat and, with Warnes, •received an ovation from the crowd and the members of the visiting team.' /HUTT. First Innings. Biggaiyc. Wiren, b Cousins 0.
