Press Association. CnETSTcntJCii, February 2. The velum match between Canterbury and the Marylebone Club's English team was commenced at Lancaster Park this afternoon, when the weather was beautifully fine, and there was a good attendance. A capital wicket had been provided, and no rain having fallen of late caused the outfield to be exceptionally fast, all the conditions being favorable to the batsman. The Englishmen won the toss, and elected to bat. The scoring was slow, and the first over only produced five singles. The best stand was mado by Branston, who, after compiling TIG, was caught in the slips byLusk off Patrick. He batted for two hours and gave no chances, and his score included one live, seventeen fours, and four threes. The innings closed at 5.35 p.m. for 305. The Canterbury lidding was verygood, but the bowling did not appear to trouble the batsmen much.

Canterbury commenced their first innings shortly before 6 o’clock, and when time was called the score was eleven for no wickets. The game will bo continued at 11.30 a.m. on Monday.
