WELLINGTON, March 28. New Zealand continued their innings in fine weather. Luak ami Reese, the not out men, faced Whitty andJFacy. Play was fearfully slow and uninteresting, the first twenty minutes' play producing only five ' runs. None of the New Zealand batsmen, with the exception of Reese, appeared to have much confidence in themselves. The Australians' second innings showed how runs could begot under, practically, any circumstances providing the batsmen understood each other's play. Their running-be> tween the.wickets was a revelation to local batsmen. The Bardsley— Mayne partnership produced 160 runs for the first wicket, and was a good exhibition of cricket, clean driving and neat cutting. Following are the scores:—

WAIRAJBAPA V. MARLBOROUGH.

WIN FOR VISITORS BY 23 RUNS. The representative match between Wairarapa and Marlborough was continued on the Park Oval on Saturday afternoon, resulting in a win for the visitors by 23 runs. With four wickets down for 105 m the second innings Marlborough decided to declare their innings closed, and sent Wairarapa in to bat. The home team sac ' ceeded in gatting within 23 runs of the required score before the last wicket fell. At a quarter past ten Wairarapa resumed their first innings, the two not out men, Madsen and Voyce, going to the wickets. Judd and Church had charge of the bowling. Voyce pulled Judd to the leg boundary for four, but in attempting the same stroke he skied the ball at aid-off to Uhisholm off Judd's next ball. The last wicket had added 8 runs, the innings closing for 78. Madsen, the not out man, played very steady cricket for his twelve runs. ~ The bowling of the Marlborough team was excellent, especially that of Church, who took six wickets]{ for

twenty runs. He bov\ls a fast boll, keeping up a go?d length, making 1 scoring difficult. He mixed his bow 1- B ing with an occasional "googkV I leg break, but this ball was generally got away. The balls he obtais.ed ' his wickets were, with one excep- l tion, "yorkers," the Wairarapa bats- i men trying to hit them. Judd also . bowled well, taking the remaining , j four wickets for 33 runs. ; ' At half past ten Marlborough opeii- > ed their second innings to the bowl- , ing of Prow and Logan. Mills and Armstrong went to the wickets. ' Runs began to come slowly, mainly due to Mills' effort?. Whin his score stood at 19 be attempted a leg hit, but succeeded in skying the ball to Sievers, at fine leg, a good catch reHalting. The retiring batsman gave two easy chances when his score stood at two and five, neither being accepted.—24—l—l9. Chisholm partnered Armstrong, and the score was carried to 46. Moss then took the ball from Logan, and with his sixth delivery scattered Armstrong's stumps.—46—2—l3. Church joined Chisholm, but before the former had scored he was snapped up by Prow off Sievers in the slips.— ■■"' Martin filled the gap, and he and . .Chisholm made a good stand, adding 49 to the score before Redmond dis- , posed of Mar in by a go»d catch in .. the outfield Sievers. ' Chisholm :, • gave a good exhibition of hard driy- ;' ing for his 46 runs.' At this state the innings was declared closed. The fielding of the Wairarapa team was, on the whole, better than on the previous day, still a number of chances were missed. Sievers came off with the best average with the ball, taking 2 wickets for 21 runs. Moss was bowling exceptionally well, delivering 54 balls for 12 runs and one wicket. He should have had five wickets, as four catches were dropped off him. He should also have been given more bowling. Wairarapa, requiring 199 runs to win, sent Prow and Redmond to the wickets. Both played steady to the bowling of Judd and Church. When tbe score stood at 15 Prow was beaten by a leg swerve from Judd. _ls_l_.ll. Smart joined Redmond, but after he had scored 10 he was given out caught behind the wickets—a decision which was generally considered to be a mistake.—2B -2—lo. Moorhouse joined Redmond, but the latter was clean bowled' in Judd's next over.—2B—3—7. Moss filled the gap, and a good stand was made, the score being carried to 71 before Moss was dismissed by a hot catch in the slips. The retiring, batsman had made 23 by hard hitting all round the ticket, his score including one six.—7l —4—23. t Madsen joined Moorhouse but in the next over the former waa unfortunate in playing a ball on to his wicket.-72-5-0. Logan joined Moorhouse, and the I est partnership of, the match waa Been. Both batsmen.were playing the straight balls and 'pasting the loose ones all round the field. The partnership added 82 runs to the ; score before Judd got a gocd one j past Logan.—ls3—6—3o. j Mackellar filled the gap, but after II runs had been added Moorhouse : gave a hot chance to Hylton, who ! held it. The retiring batsman crave a { grand exhibition of cricket for his 60 I runs, completely collaring the bowl-1 ing. He gave three easy chances dur j ing the early part of h s s innings.— \ 164—7—60. I Sievers joined Mackellar, but was fceaten by Church before he had scored.—l6s-8 -0. ! Voyce joined Mackellar, the latter carrying the score to 176 before .
