THE AUSTRALIANS - TOUR ! AUSTRALIA v. WELLINGTON. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellingtun, Saturday Night. wu« resumed at two o'ciuek this ai'teriioon in warm, i-hmdc weather. i'ae wicket woi'i' \ve!i. About 4000 peop^ ami party. Tiiu takings for the two 'lays total about .u;i3l. Tin; display given by ih:, | (l ;-ai team was much brighter than >e„iera:iy. the batsmen showing greater confidence against* i.h:.i r redoubtable opponents.

I Ms defence was super.,, while all lu.m> stub" was punished .reely on both si.is of the wicket by the young batsman. Roberts again demonstrated hi-, Usefulness with the bat. his innings beaig marked liy patience and soundness. BlacKiock an.! Mahony shaped eon.Llimtly ami briskly. Kinv/ig played niedy, executing some 'line carpet drives. The fielding of the visitors was scnera'Jy c!e:r.) and smart, but their bowling appeared to lack the "devil which li.'.s earned Armstrong, Whitty and c"mpar.y so gnat n reputation. Some of the Wellington .batsmen threw thdr wickets away by reckless slogging. :Much was expected of Bardslev in' the batting line when the visitors "resum-Hl their first innings, but he quickly fell a victim through an l.b.w. decision In Patrick, whose average against such crack players was a "magnificent one. Kinvig is also entitled to credit for his accurate bowling. It is generally anticipated that the public will see the visitors at their best batting form when the match is resumed on Monday.

The personnel of the Taranaki team )or the Australian match is already tile subject of discussion, as also is its numerical strength. There is divided opinion on the latter point, some colvaneing the argument that as the tour of the Anstraliaans is meant to give I impetus to cricket in New Zealand, aad to serve as an education and encouragement to our players, as many players as possible should be given tile opportunity of taking part. On the other hand, it is said that an.honor too much divided is scarcely an honor at all. and that the defeat of the visitors by a Taranaki eleven would be a far more creditable feat, and redound more to the credit of fiio kumi-kum country, than a bigg/r licking by a bigger team: the same "remarks applying in the eve-it of the local men failing to make good. Further, it is argued that we cannot compare our strength with that of the four big centre's unless we meet the Australians, as the "cities" are doin-i, with eleven men. The following are reckoned by a cricket enthusiast to stand a chance of being selected for Taranaki:—New Plymouth Club: Hasell, Grpatbach. Lash, Whittle, Nicoll. Weston, Hill, and Ellio'.: Carrington Road: Ben'bow. Southall, Robert-son and Perham; Inglewood:

Clegg and Cruinbie: Waiiara: Eggi sloiu' Kymoni Viiiage: liuuan: Fire Brigade: Clarke; Toko: Smith, Co:.'. O'C'o.mor and Cargm : iiawora: .M--C'arfhy and Pratt: Kirhaiu: Inm.i.i: Kaponga: Michigan. Tb : . ehairces a>v that the public can select an eleven from these names, and may know: 1 one or two more "possibles''; or, maybe, they know of indisputable arguments against the inclusion of one or more 01 them. If so. kindly drop a line to the '-.Vows'-' cricket scribe, who is looking for information.
