TOUR OF AUSTRALIANS,

FIRST TEST MATCH

WON BY THE VISITORS

BY NINE WICKETS

BENNETT'S SPLENDID BOWLING ' AND MAYNE'S BATTING.

By Telegraph—Press Association CHRISTCHURCH, March 15.

The test match was concluded today, in line weather, the Australians winning by u -•' wickets. The wicket 1..-, proved wish a drying wind, <\nd Iwiv.lane and Sims continued New Zea'a d's s< cond innings. The last-named, ui'ler compiling 11, was caught at the wickets. McFarlane took his place, and Hopkins in the next over shattered Midlane's wicket.

Oliu replaced him, but was clean bowled by Hopkins. Bennett joined McFarlane, but lashing at Hopkins was clean bowled. Boxshall was the in-goer, but McFarlane lashed out at Whitty, and was caught at third man by Warne.

Howden was tne last man in. Boxshall got what proved to be Hopkins' last over, and got a four to fine leg, but was then stumped from a rebound off the wicket keeper's pads. Mayne and Bardsley went in for the Australians, who had 108 to win, and at the ■luncheau adjournment the first named had scored 35 and Bardsley 6. Mayne continued to pile up the score, but Bardsley, whose score was unaltered, was clean bowled by Bennett. Simpson followed, and he and Mayne compiled the necessary runs to win. The New Zealand bowling, with the exception of that of Bennett, was made to look very simple by the fine batting of Mayne. Bennett, however, bowled splendidly, and while the batsmen were making runs at the rate of one hundred per hour, Bennett set.t down 7.5 overs for fifteen runs and one wicket. It is questionable whether the New Zealand skipper was not at fault in not starting with Bennett, and seeing that Hadden was the first bowler tried in the first innings, the fact that he was not put on till 97 runs had been scored is apparently inexplicable. The scores are :

NEW ZEALAND. First innings 155 Second Innings. Lusk, c and b Emery v 39 Siedeberg, run out 35 Hadden, c Kelleway, b Warne 47 Reese, run out 14 Midlane, b Hopkins 47 Sims, c Gorry, b Whitty 11 McFarlane, c Warne, b Whitty 16 Oliff, b Hopkins 2 Bennett, b Hopkins 0 Boxshall, st Gorry, b Hopkins 17 Howden, not out 0 Extras 30 Total 258 Bowling analysis.

The final match for the Henderson Cup, between Carlton and Carterton, will be resumed at Carterton on Thursday afternoon, the brake to convey the Carlton team leaving at 1.45 sharp.

If you should suggest to any amateur photoaraohers the idea of taking portra ts of children, you would find that instead of meeting the suggestion with enthusiasm, they would exhibit something very much like panic, yet those who have made a practice of photographing children, say that not only are they. more attractive subjects for photography than adult?, but also they are quite as easy to inanagn and arrange if tney are lightly handled; they are less conscious of their loo*ss when in front of the camera, and far more naturally graceful and adaptable, From 3 to 6 years is the best age for picture taking, then little folks hre full of imagination and fancy, and they are as playful and unconscious as kittens. The most satisfactory place for making a picture of a child is at home, and that is where the amateur photographer has an advantage over the professional. At the studio all the usual arrangen euts, and the fact that it is a strange place, makes it hard to get a natural, and impossible to get a lively or jolly portrait. The best results are obtained by the Kodak, for the roll films, developed in the Kodak Tank Develop in*' -Machine are in every way superior to those produced in the old way. And then there's the great convenience of no dark room being required. Everyone who photographs or is about to take up photography should at onoe take advantage ot the Imperial Camera Co.'s offer; The Co. will send FKEE of any charge whatever, a valuable illustrated boob on photography, containing nearly 300 pages. This book is of the greatest assist ince to the amateur in the matter of details, advice etc., and also gives prices of all c>iiperas and necessaries. SEN D TO. DAY for it.
