THE AUSTRALIANS AT DUNEDIN. [By Telegraph.] Dunedin. Jan. 21. The match between the Australian Eleven and Otago Twenty-two was continued yesterday afternoon. The Otago men met with a happy despatch their last eleven wickets falling in forty minutes. The following were the scores ;

Total ... ... ... ... 07 Messrs Blackham, Palmer, Alexander, and White remain to bat. The Australians are now 90 to the good, with five wickets to fall, and as Groube has this time been sent in sixth, they have still plenty of time to set the twenty-two a long score to get. It is dubious, however, whether the Australians will be able to prevent a draw.
