AGATNST DERBYSHIRE. DERBY, .June 13. iThe New Zealand cricketers commenced their match with Derbyshire in glorious summer weather. The wicket was easy. The attendance was 4,500.

The ..ew Zealand howling was not quite up to standard, but it was admirably handled by Lowry. Matheson developed pace occasionally, and fooled Storer with a beautiful ball, which came in sharply from the off.

Cromb was evidently the effects of his prolonged spefl of bowing in the Gloucester match. Merritt and Blunt were inconsistent. Weir was perhaps the steadiest bowler. Smith and -Alderman both play, d useful innings. Townsend was dismissed after lunch with a brilliant lett hand catch by Dempster at third slip. •

Worthington played an exceedingly solid innings. Keen fielding robbed him of several boundaries from pow.r fill drives’. - After tea Vivian dismiss'd the Derby tail. He developed a real spin for the first time on the tour.

New Zealand • batted for n nety min ;utes, scoring 89 runs for three wickets. Dempster hit eleven runs in the first over off Slater, hqt in the si cond ove: he was caught behind th; with- ts.

Mills went out iTb.w. first ball to Mitchell, a leg break bowler. Blunt made fifty runs in seventy minutes. Although he gave two chance.? it was a valuable inn jigs. Weir and Lowry played out time.
