Em gland v. Chbistchubch. The match Eogland v. 18 of Ghristchnrch was commenced yesterday. Lillywhite won the toss and went in. For England Pooley was still unable to play, which, of course, was a great loss to his side, but luckily Jupp was sufficiently recovered not only to play but to keep wicket, and though he is far from equal to Fooley still he has on several occasions proved himself no mean performer with the" gloves, especially that season when Pooley did not play much for Surrey and Jupp took his place. Jupp and Charlwood went in to the bow- | ling of Frith and Sweet, the latter, it may be remembered, being one of the twelve who went down South from Auckland and defeated every province in turn. England did net make a good start, as Frith—who it was feared at one time would, not be able to play—bowled Charlwood when the latter had made 6, and shortly afterwards Jupp, the hope, of the family, was caught .off the same bowler at short slip. Without any addition being made to the score, Selby was bowled by the fast bowler, and no stand of any account was made until the last two of the eleven, Southerton and Hill, j got together, and nearly doubled the score. The styles of the two players must have afforded a striking contrast, Hill nearly all hit and Southerton playing back ball after ball in the same cramped style which characterised the play'of 20 years ago. When the score had reached 70 Hill was run out for a useful score of 23, leaving Southerton to carry -out his bat for 11. The bowling seems to have been very good, Frith bowling 36 overs, 22 of which were maidens, for 23 runs and 6 wickets ; Sweet, 32-overs, 11 maidens, 32 runs and 3 wickets; Fuller (who relieved Sweet), 3 overs and 2 balls, 1 maiden for 6 runs. For Canterbury Leach and Corfe commenced batting to the bowling of Shaw and Ulyett. Corfe hit the latter out of the ground, but in trying to hit Shaw was stumped by Jupp. Leach waa bowled by Ulyett after making 3 singles, the same bowler also disposingof Ollivier—Watson got nine, and Stevens and God by played up to time, the score then being. 27 runs for 4 wickets, made as follows :■—
