THE ELEVEN AT NELSON. ; ?OtJBTH MATCH.— PIHST DAT * eslerdaywas a beautiful day for the Nelson match, the sun shihingclear, and hardly n?fsv/ 8 i tirrir : g '- Tta "B»and. by dint of s* m . , I lful "Bering, had been got into splendid condition j and though the out'djirta werje rough for fielding, the pitch flayed true aud yery fair. The soil is 1 n *' ? raU «vh*fJ, and the Sun, m the course of the afternoon biked it a good deal, which m a great measure accounts for the large score^pf the; Englishmen, who (are used to fas'; grounds. The arrangements showed a great laxity on, the part of the committ c, who- had taken ho measure for marking ouc the boundaries, and oneequeutly the ball was frequently sent among and over the line of spectators without afixed number being aasigued to the hit. There was not even a scoringbook to be bad, and the telegraph board was not a proper one. The players also had to use the same tent as the scorers, which was inconvenient for all concerned. These oversights'will, however, probably be rectified to-morrow, Jupp played with the Eleven, Armitage standing umpire along with Mr Bam. The premier bats--32? ll v L team ' *Pk ia Bfci " weak, ' . Jild though he sta^dib all the afternoon, , did not score .heivlf, and was literally obliged to get a man, to run for Mm. Even under these fonditiouß he ihas already the^NelsoLpeople a taste/of , hia quality which they^re not likely to forget m a hurry. Owing to an unfounded Jelegram sent by the Press Agency, to the. effect that the Eleven were going to playV? at Nelson before New fpijymouth, great uncertainty prevailed here till the last moment about the date of the match, and due notice of it. oould not be given. 'In consequence the number of: viators to the ground nras small, certainly no t amounting to more than a thousand. Tomorrow, however, it is expected that tlfe country people will show up.-in large numbers, and as news of the gallant stand of the Englishmen has spread there is sure -to be a' large attendance. It will 3 e seen. from the. details ; t below that, the Eleven threatened t o make this the ; heaviest score they have yat totalled during their present, trip. O.ily one wicket has fallen for 142 run s, ;ylt the bowling- and fielding, especially before 4 o'clock, were both good. The game was tedious until Selby collaied the. bowling, when he made it lively for the field and amusing for ..the. Englishmen, n They\-onfidently anticipate reaching 300 as£ thel wicket -and ground, suits theirii better than any they have . yet . played upon. The local team suffered the loss of 0 Cross, of <Vanganui, who was to have played, with them, and of Powell, one of their^est men.' . Mr H; Cross was elected captain j and Lilly white winning the toss, of course declared to go m.. The gamVwas to toWe been commenced at one o'clock, but a lot of time was lost :in getting the m.en into the field. Eden and S Fowler, both fast, started tb< bowling — the former commencing ' Charlwood. Cross took the wicketß Harris, point ; H H Halliday, long-utop ; X Kn>»pp, cover-poiut-j Siloock, long-leg ; Knapp, mid-off ; Delaney, ; mid-onj Atkinson, short-leg; Firth, square-leg. The players which- were exoha ged frequently during the day, according tbe change m bowling. Off the last ball of the over Charlwood got 3 to leg, which would have been 4, had not Jupp lost his boot m ruuning. Fowler's first was cut for.3 by the same batsmen, aud Jupp poked on* to leg. Before any more runs were scored a chance of running Charlwood out stAy lost. Five maidens were then bowled, when Charlwood cut, Fowler for 2, a singlef and brought iO'u'p. -A hard- Teg hit, well fielded, produced one for Charlwood; Eden, after bowHng six maidtins ; iv succession, was treated to a cut for 2, and asq uare leg hit for 3. The latter was a possible Chance, but the field made no attempt to take it, and Charlwood eseapjd. An adjournment to lunch was then made, 17 runs only being the result of forty minu es play, ( Cb irlwood got to ; work quickly ' on resuming, ' singles, and doubles following close on one another. Jupp did notde. much bejqnd keeping up his wickets, his' defence Being like a stone wall. His steady, . dogged play was -greatly admired among the spectators; ,:,'•. FOURTH MATOH.—SECOND DAY. The matoh was resumed to-day, the weather being very fine, aud the attendance large. Selby and Jupp remained In a long time before they were separated, the former adding- but 2to the score and the latter 18. It was fully expected that the Nottingham bat would make 100 more, and bis steady patient play had . givenvgood piomise of that innch. desired goal being reaohed ; but the fates were aiainst him. Greenwood kept his reputation by a beautiful innings of 42. The result of three hours' play. The whoie Eleven were finally disposed of for 258— a number which every one anticipated would have been exceeded by at least 10'). So far, the local men have made H for the loss of a wicket, the extras being chiefly contributions. The pitch did not play so well to-day, as the balls hunc a good deal on it. The bowliug .of Eden aud Fowler was excellent, but of no use against the scientific play of most of their (adversaries and the fast ground. The fielding was not so good as on yesterday and the men might have been got out for considerably less, had all the chances been taken which were offered.
