After the cricket match yesterday, Neilson, captain of the Canterbury team, said there would be no more interprovin* cial matches with Otago. He said this was due mainly to the obstacles repeatedly thrown in the way by the Otago men during the past few years.—l* was also apparent that offence bad been taken at a remark made by the chairman of the recent banquet to the crioketers in Dunedin. to the effect that the chairman hoped the Australians would thrash the Canterbury team for their presumption in onlj playing 15 men. The decision not to play any more matches with Otago is much re* gretted here. At a trial of reaping and binding machines, under the auspicies of the Canterbury Agricultural Association, the first prize was awarded to Osborhe's machine; second to McCormick's { third to Wood's.
