NORTH v. SOUTH TARANAKI. ij GWILLIM SCORES 144. COLLAPSE OF THE SOUTHERNERS. The second day's play was commenced at 11.30 yesterday morning, when Gwillim (91) and Osborne went in, Whe'lan •and Dunlop bowling. The score on Momday when stumps were drawn was 'ilH for seven wickets. After a few runs had been made, Osborne had just run a single, and, considering himself safe, stepped outside the crease to take a bit of soil off the matting, and the wicketkeeper (Hartley) promptly had his bails off. 324 —B—l. Arden joined Gwillim, and after getting a couple of singles, hit a boundary for four. Gwillim's score was near the century, and everyone was waiting for him to complete it, which a single did after a time. Arden hit a second four, but a- few minutes later was caught by Penny. 342—9—12. Dinniss was the last man to go in, and opened with a single. Gwillim was still getting threes and fours, with an occasional hit on to the terraces for six. Cole was put on to bowl, Gwillim scoring a two and a four in succession. The total was 380, and' hopes were expressed for an innings of 400, but soon afterwards Dinniss went out l.b.w. 388—10—5. Gwillim, who was fifth man in, carried out his bat for a splendid innings of 144, his score including eight sixes and ten fours. The play lasted half-an-hour, during which time 72 runs were scored. South Taranaki commenced their second innings at 12.15, having a deficit of 207 to wipe out. The procession that followed resembled the Wanganui-North Taranaki match a week ago. , Three of the Southerners' men—Pratt, Mitchell, and Baxter —had gone home, which only left eight batsmen, and seven wickets fell in the short space of 40 minutes for 21 runs. Dunlop and Penny went in, and the last ball of Blunder's over took the latter's wicket for no runs. I—l—o. Cole followed, and the board soon showed 10 up, but the partnership was short-lived, as Gudgeon took the latter's wicket. 14 —2—l. Walker went in, but his stumps went flying the first ball. 14—9—0. Mackay joined Dunlop, but the latter soon left, Blundell getting his wicket, i 16—4 —14. Blundell iat this time had two for six, and Gudgeon two for nine. Boyes had a few minutes with the, bat, but was caught by Matthews without scoring. lft—-s—o. Hartley, f«ed a little ibetter, as he got three before Gudgeon ibowled him. 21—<5—3. j Whelan was the last man to go in, and was disposed of the first ball. 21—7—0. I The Northern team thus won by an , innings and 180 runs. Scores:—
