THE PLUNKET SHIELD. CANTERBURY v. AUCKLAND. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Auckland, Saturday. Canterbury met Auckland in the Piunket Shield match to-day, in fine weather, and on a good but .slow wicket. Auckland won the toss, and were at the wickets for the whole afternoon for 341). The batting was on the whole slow, the men playing cautiously to the excellent bowling and the brilliant fielding of the visitors. The first partnership opened well, 108 being scored by Kernus and Anthony before the latter was caught for a well-placed 31). Pearson, the English professional, made 14 in quick time before getting leg-before to Bennett. Sale made a similar number, and then Hemus and Hadden played in partnership, raising the total to 257 before Hemus snicked one from Reese into his wicket, after making 1 1142 by splendid cricket, marred bv two chances, both given before he made 80. Hadden scored a chanceless 01, and was then given out leg before to Reese. The | only other batsman to cause trouble was Horspool, who made 30 by free cricket. Reese, who did not bowl till 250 runs were on the board, finished with the fine average of five wickets for 43, while Sandman, the googlio bowler, did not get a wicket. The following are the details:—
