WELLINGTON v. CANTERBURY. NORTHERNERS' POOR DISPLAY. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Christchurch, Saturday. The inter-provincial cricket match between Canterbury and Wellington was commenced at Lancaster Park to-day in fine weather but on a treacherous wicket, which kicked considerably and rendered perfect ibatting impossible. It was expected to be a close game, as Canterbury had reputedly the best team that had ever represented the province, and Wellington's match against Auckland had stamped the team as a very useful combination. Canterbury won*the toss and batted, but the peculiarities of thf wicket were evident, and with the exception of Sims, who batted freely and would have scored more heavily but for good fielding, the display was disappontmg. The innings closed for 186. Wellington made an absolutely disastrous start and could do nothing with u* of Bennett and Sandman, which had the batsmen completely tied up. When play ceased for the day nine wickets were down for 38—probably a unique score in big matches. Bennett bowled eight overs, five being maidens, and took five wickets for 4 runs. 'Sandman s average would have been nearly as good if Naughton had not scored off him .before lie got a length. Scores:—
