AUSTRALIA V. HAWKE’S BAY. MATCH ENDS IN A DRAW. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Napier, Feb. 26. The match between- the Australians and Hawke’s Bay was continued to-day and ended in a draw. The visitors, who yesterday had four ets down for 86, resumed batting at 11.15 am. The wicket was perfect and gave the batsunen every chance to show their quality. Kippax fell l.b.w. to Alcot without scoring, and was succeeded by Ratcliffe, who had a short life, as also did Foresberg, who both fell to Alcot, and six wickets were down for 110. Waddy joined Ransford, and the pair collared the bowling, the partnership realising 160 before Waddy was caught behind the wicket for 79. Lampard assisted Ransford to carry the score to 382, when the latter retired and the innings shortly after closing for 405. The home team, requiring 239 to avert an innings defeat, commenced batting at. 3.55 p.m., and succeeded in playing out time with six wickets down for 135 (Bistop 60, and Alcott not 24, including three sixes). Ironmonger was unable to bat or bowl owing to a strain. The match therefore endetk in a draw.
