CRICKET.

TEST MATCH A DRAW. Christchurch, March 30. The second test, Victoria v. New Zealand, was concluded in fine weather, the result being a draw. The wicket was easy, and the New Zealand howling had no terrors for Woodfull and Ransford, who each secured centuries, though the former should have been caught in the slips by Dempster just after reaching three figures. New Zealand’s second innings was practically a procession. The scores are: — Victoria—First Innings. E. R. Manic, h Dickinson 0 •I. L. Ellis, li Cunningham 50 P. 11.
