Play in the cricket match to-day was marred by a series of accidents to the Englishmen, which must have made them wonder whether they were playing cricket or football. Douglas and Wynyard both strained themselves so severely that they can take no further part in the match, and later Torreus ricked his leg aud had to procure a substitute. .Nevertheless they made a good showing, and got eight Wellington wickets for 135. .uay, bowling fast with the wind, was unplayable, aud some good catcher ■ helped the bowlers. \\ iiliams, the ' Wellinton skipper, alone showed form, and when .\ionaglian joined him, he • hit out boldly, especially to leg, , where everything louse was scut to the boundary. The ninth wicket fell at ISS, and then Lphani stayed while his Skipper took the score past the ' English total, and made 100 himself,

at which stage he was iiuely caught, liis century included 10 fours, and after passing 50 he gave two'hard chances. On going in the second time, Rums, aided by some luck, hit resolutely for oil, and when stumps were drawn the total was 11.) for three wickets. Thi' lidding was excellent on both sides.
