The English-men^-had five minutes short of two hours to knock up 262, and the crowd . settled down to v see bright batting, m ; anticipation of the visitors trying for iruns, but they played for a draw, the i batting being very slow. The New Zealand fielding was not too good, easy catches again being missed, which, if taken, would have made a considerable difference, though the match would almost certainly have been drawn in any case.

PLUNKET SHIELD MATCH.

WON BY AUCKLAND,

DUNEDIN, Last night.

The Plunket Shield match, Auckland v. Otago, was concluded to-day on a good wicket, but with an outfield somewhat slower than the previous days. The weather was again good. Auckland made 363 in their second innings, which meant that Otago had to make 302 to win. Otago’s opening batsmen failed, and though the tail wagged, the task was too heavy. Cecil Alloo, Duncan and Knight were all rather unfortunate, as each was dismissed as the result of difficult chances being taken. Details: AUCKLAND. First innings 2HI Second Innings.
