At the time appointed for tbc tiring it was blowing a stiff half gale from tlie North East, accompanied by frequent showers of rain. Major Cooper recommended the postponement of tlie match, and Captain Barnett, .vlio was ac.ingon behalf of Captain Wales, assented to such postponement. Captain Murray, however, was of opinion that it king a simultaneous match it ought to be tired in any weather, and bis men agreed with him. The tiring was accordingly gone on with, ami as will lie seen from Hie score, I lie average shooting was very creditable indeed to a young company tiring in such weather as they had.

Aver, jr, !i!i p»i iL'iierrlr. M'ALKEL v. CHLISTIE. Captain Murray has received a telegram from Dunedin, stating that Christie would lire M'all.cr the return match, according to tbc cbaMenge received, on the condition that the match should be final in Otago. Mr M’a’k.-r himself is quite willing to agree to these terms, always provided that bis backers make no objection to it. M e do not anticipate that they will raise any objection, so that in all probability the match will come off. It is, we believe, not-Mr Walker’s intention to proceed to Dunedin alone this time, for we understand that, besides oilier friends who may accompany him, lie will be atteialid by a gentleman learned in all the arts of ride shooting, who will take care of him, and we It list bring him back victorious.
