Wednesday. It has been beautiful weather for the „' cricket match, which commenced at 12.30. . The All England team having won the toss, sent Jupp and Charlwood to the . wickets, to the bowling of J. Eden and J. Fowler. The bowling was remarkably good, and the fielding very fair. At the luncheon adjournment, at 2 o'clock, 18 overs had been bowled, off which Charlwood had scored 25 and Jupp 2. Play was 1 resumed shortly before 3 o'clock, and at a quarter to 4 Charlwood was cleverly caught at wicket by Cross, off Fowler, after running up 38-—one wicket for 50 runs. Selby took his place, and he and . Jupp remained in till the wickets were drawn at six o'clock, when the score was 142; Jupp, not out, 30; Selby not out, 68 j wides, 8; byesj 2. The bowling throughout was good, and so was the fielding, but the defence was too good, . though the ground being in splendid condition was in favor of the batsmen, who could calculate to a nicety on the movements of the ball. Play will be resumed at noon to-morrow. The. damage by • the floods in the Motueka district is estimated at thirty thousand pounds. Many families have lost homes, land, cattle, and all they had. This day. ' Sir David Monro died this morning after a long illness.
