The Taranaki match was commenced this morning, under most favourable auspices. The e^y was c'ear and the sun hot. but later im the day a few slight showers fell, 'and the almos .here became close .and stifling. . The ground is the interior of what is called the Racecourse— though it is extremely hard to tell where the course is, aB the grpuad consists of of ploughed field with "a scanty growth cf grass. The soil is veay light and loose, and the surface is as rough as possible. Consequently, , when the wicket came to be inspected, ".the Eleven, one and all, declared that ie would be impossible to get 100 runs upon it.' As a matter of fact, lhey ,did but get 80, for m a few minutes the pitch was as loose, and as cut about as if a plough bad actually passed across it two or three times. This will be quite enough to account ior-the expedition with which the game so far has been got through, and detracts no small amount from the honour which should accrue to the men ot Taranaki after getting rid of the Eleven for the smallest total tbey have yet made m New Zmland. A good heavj roller wouid have been of infinite use, but this the club does not possess, a wooden log being the heaviest substitute. The slow bowling of Shaw and Lilly white, aided by the fielding of their men, proved an obstacle which the Taranaki players could not overcome, and the Twenty-two ■ were disposed of for *32, or one more than the. Wellington team made m the first innings. * Jupp, who was erroneously reported m Wellington to be awaiting the arrival of the Eleven at Christchurch, came on by the Rotorua, and acted as umpire on this ■ occasion. He is not quite recovered yet, aad will only play m tliose matches which are favoured with fine weather. Captain Rowan umpired ! for the local team. The attendance amounted to about 600, but had the admission being fixed at a shilling many . more would have been present. The match was commenced at 11.15. ... instead of 12, as it was only two days' 'match. Lily white won the* tess, and y sent m his opponents. The Englishmen; took their usual places m the field, Shaw and Lilly white- being entrusted to the . bowling. Of the scene which followed it is useless to speak at length. One man after another came forth merely to return m a minute or two*. Liliy white aided by the ground, was too much for them, and the long list of caught or i bowled followed by his name tells its own • tale. Three wickets f -11 before Moorely , had the pleasure of scoring the first nm [ for his side. He was beautifully caught , by Southerton, who -had to run a long - distance and then only reached the ball .:. with one hand. 'Tiike played a few l overs successfully btfore the first run was . scored off him: Biddiford'sS was made > up of drives off Shaw, and Langley put , the same number together by hitting ' '-illy white to .leg for a 2 and 1, and cutj ting Shaw for a couple of- singles. t Davies's score coutained a nice "cut ifor 3, 3 the only one obtained. in the innings. , After a time the wickets fell almost as 3 fast as the bowlers could deliver the balls. „ The oatch which disposed of McKellar was an excellent one. The ball was , almost out of Selby's reich, but he suc--1 ceeded m touching it with the tips of hia r fingers, and then cougiit it as it fell. , The total amounted to 32, and the team 9 then prepared themselves for a ljng j afternoon's leather-hunting ; m whioh 3 expectation, however, they agreeable dis« X appointed. More of the ' Eleven were olesn bowled m this innings than m any [ other they have yet p ayed on this trip. v The innings was finished by half -past 4, 1 and- af ber a, tedious de'ay, the Eleven took l il*ie fie'd. Again Hill aud Ulyetb took 3 up the b jwling, and between them dis--5 posed of four men for 7 runs'befor the j stumps were drawn. There is great ex* ( citeminfc now among the l/cal men about t tne chances of being defeated m one j innings or not, but whether they are or , riot, the match should easily be tinihed , : to-day. *We leave by tne Taup> to- > morrow eveniug, or earlier if possible* [ The following are the scons and ana* t lysi-j -j— ,-, TWENTY-TWO OF TARANAKI. > iFIBST INNINGS } Miiggeridge, c Einmett, b Suaw; . ... 0 .
