South Australia in the second innings have lost 4 wickets for 82, Pellow 43, A Smith 18. The weather was fine* and! wicket fast. The Victorians batting though sound and punishing was more on the careful than the spectacular side. They were evidently playing for averages, with one eye on the scoring board and the other on the selectors of the Australian eleven.

TO THE ELECTORS OF THE SOUTHERN RIDING. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, AT the request of many of the ratepayers, I have decided to become a- candidate at the forthcoming County Election for the positiop of one of the representatives of the Southern Riding, .My long and continuous residence in the Southern district has given me a thorough knowledge of its Tgsqurces and 1 requirements. I recognise that the completion of the Otira Tunnel joining Westland with Canterbury makes it absolutely necessary that a vigorous Public Works policy by both Government and County should be undertaken in order that the remoter districts should receive the fullest benefit from that work. The bridging of all rivers from the Waiho Sputh should bo a cardinal feature in that policy. The extension of the Ross Railway and the improvement of shipping facilites at. Qkaritc, Truce Bay, Okuru and Jackson’s Bay are all necessary for the development of the land timber and flax of Sbuth Westland. For many years I have taken a keen interest in the development of that district and in this connection. I find that without some constituted standing individual effort lias little or no effect. I do not seek election for personal aggrandisement or; gain, but feel that I should place the close and practical knowledge of the district what I possess at the services of the electors. If you do me the honour to elect me I shall use my best endeavours to assist the progress and development of South Westland on the lines indicated above. I have the honour to remain, Ladies and Gentlemen, Your obedient Servant, JOHN RITCHIE.
