L^nch h«id b=en at the wickfts a conEiderable lima end had been playing very steadily. Kennedy was ntxt mm, but only went in to spp Brown splendi ily cangbt by Askew. 46 — 6 7.

LijxfoTd, the last roan, followe , end Sa'mon cut Eden for single, treating Wigzell in a similar manner during his over. The pame batsman sooa after hit Eden for 3, bnt Luxford being tempted by one from Eden stepped out and missing it was clean bowled, the innings closing for 59, leaving Nelson 17 rnns to get to win. The batting of the Wellington rmn was not nfaily co good during their second innings, co doubt on account of the bowling of our urn being mufh better, very few balls being cff the wicket. Tbe Nelson men with one or two exceptions fielded very well, seme of the catches being very smartly taken. Shortly before one o'clock Barns and T. Eden were sent in to get. the required number of rans, the latter taking first over from Armitage, which prove d a maiden. Luxford began bowling at th« other end, and Burns slipped him for a single. Armifage, however, clean bowled him in tbe next over 2-I—l a. F-»*!er Wowed, and Eden B'ipped Luxford for one, and then cut Armitage for n rtnnple. Fowler slipped Luxf >rd for 2 and Eien cnt Armitage for 3, and then drove Lnxford for a single. Lynch here went in in the place of Armitage, and sent down a maiden to Eden. Fowler snicked Lnxf-rd for one, Eler. cutting Lynch for the same number, and in attempting another sinek- he nparly ran his partner out. F wler hit L-ixford to Ip£ nicely for one. and E '<>n drr-w him for =» like number. Tbi3 brought the score up to 16, ar,<3 sbor'lv afterwards Edsn made the winning hit pff Lynch, the Nel3on men thus winning the match with nine wickets to spare. Eden and Fowler batted very carefully for 11 and 4 respectively, scores all the more creditable to them considering that the bowing was dead on the whole time. B9th batsmeu were loudly cheered upon returning to tbe navilion. The Nelson men showed on the whole very good form, and their score yesterday m»tst cprfainly be considered a good innings, as the Welling ton men were n-usually strong in bowling and fielding. Indeed, we must conoratulate oar men on so easily defeating what is admittedly the strong?*' tpam that has ever been sent away fnm Wellington.
