CHRISTCHURCH. Marth 4. With 305 runs on, Canterbury looked like keeping the first innings lead when the earlier Australian batsmen were dismissed fairly cheaply; lhe redoubtable l’unsford and Woodiull, who will probably be the opening pair for Australia in the tests next summer, were not at home to the howling, and were dismissed comparatively cheaply, with a total of 4(5, -Merritt beat Ponslord all the way, and before another run was added, Woodiull stopped a straight one from Read with his pads. Richardson, partnered by Jackson, was not happy and soon put a last one into the slips. Jackson soon afterwards was caught at the wickets, ana four were down for til. Schneider and Alexander doubled the score belorc the latter was beaten by Read. M hen Oxeiiham played Newman on a little later six were down for 135, and Canterbury were jubilant. Then Schneider and Oldfield were associated in a brilliant partnership, which put a new complexion on the game. Both men completely mastered the bowling and punished it ruthlessly. If was a brilliant exposition of aggressive batting.
