CRICKET.

OAEXSBBOOH v. THE WAKDBBBBB. Our Dunedin f *ends, as will be seen from the figures beloi have avenged their signal defeat by Ashley on a team of Wanderers ia Hngley Park. Mr Cooke's left-handed slows were found excessively troublesome by the Christchurch men, who, unaccustomed to this kind of twirling, shaped very badly at them. A very poor iirtt-inmngf was the result, and though the steady batting of Messrs Beeves and 1. Cotteriil alittio improved matters later on, yet a second collapse on the part of the tail end left Oarisbrook, who, thanks principally to Messrs Spring and Bose, bad made 1811 jn their first innings, only 66 to get to win. These, however, took them some trouble, for the bowling was fair, the fielding keen, and the Wanderers made a plucky effort to pn}l the match out of the fire. But the batting of Messrs Oollinson and Bote, though shortlived, was good, and in spite of a magnificent catch In the long-field by Mr Militon, the seventh wioket did not fall till only a few ■ingles were wanted to secure the victory. Mr Austin, who in the first innings had hit with great freedom, was equal to the Decision, and the match was therefore won with three wickets In hand. Score and analysis THE WANDERERS.
