THE AUCKLAND DUNEDIN MATCH. THIS DAY. [By Telegraph.] [Special to the “ S.C. Times.”] Dunedin, This Day. A thick drizzling rain fell during the forenoon, and play was postponed in consequence till one o’clock, and it was then stil! raining. Otago went in with one wicket down for 9 runs, and 87 to get to save a defeat in one innings. Harris, the not-out man of yesterday, was not on the ground. Leith took bis place with Skitch, the other not out. Messrs Lankham and Gill again bowled for Auckland. Each man got a single, when Gill, who was bowling with great pace, picked off Leith’s bails. 2—l—ll. Harris, the not out of yesterday, came in next, and after several runs Skitch was given out l.b.w. Ivens took his place, but after getting a single was bowled by Lankham, 4—1—19 The weather by this time was tine, and the disadvantage of a greasy ball was not so much felt by the bowlers. Later. Harris, after playing a grand innings for 23, was caught by Gill. There is now five wickets down for 32. Holgate and Parker played successive maidens very steadily, then the latter began to score slowly, but rashly lifted one of Lankham’s into Barton’s hands at mid-on. 6—5—37. Later, 3.25 p.m. The teams have adjourned for lunch, and play will be resumed at 3 o’clock. Otago has now 39 runs for six wickets. The weather is splendid.
