neil to leg for one, and Fooks got the hame> bowler to long-field for two. Both batsmen .now appeared to be well set, and were playing pretty cricket. Wilding cut Arneil for two, and Fooks added a single to his spore by a very pretty leg hit off Lankbam. Things were looking much

brighter for Ashburton by this time. Wilding drove Arneil prettily for two, and singles came at both ends. Wilding gave a chance in the slips off Arneil, but it was

missed by Gill Fooks got another single, and Wilding played Arnsil prettily to leg for two, bringing his score into the forties.

Robinson took the ball at the lower end, and Wilding placed his first in the slips for 1, the telegraph board showing 60 t The change of bowling proved judi cious,, for Fooks played the second ball sofUy Into the bowler’s hands, 9—6—GO. Andrews filled the vacancy, and Wilding by-another pretty draw to leg off Lank ham added 2to his score. A hit by An drews brought up 2 more, but the bats man narrowly escaped being run out. Andrews drove the next ball for a single, and-slipped Lankbam for 1, the ball going between Gill’s legs. Letting out at Rob inson, the same player next put the ball . almost cut. of bounds for 2. Then came 4 byes in Robinson’s next over, the long stop ; fielding in the slips. Andrews gave Barton a chance at Jong-on off Lankham, but it was not held. The telegraph board

showed 70. Another chance was given by Andrews at long-on, and this time held by 'Buckland, 10—7 —72. Strachey filled tha vacancy, and getting Lankham to leg, seeped a single. He then put Robinson ne»r |he long-field boundary for two, and golMl'e same bowler to on for a single. Wilding now scored for the first time for abont'half an hour, driving Robinson into th£bonndary for three, O’Brien missing it Mdiy in the field. The telegraph now showed eighty. Wilding got another arid Strachey put Lankham out of bo|hdSs at long-field for three. Robinson, who Jpid.been proving rather an expensive bofcjef, at last got Strachey’s wicket in- r <jhe next ball,. 31—11 Bixsbanan then went in, and Gill took

at the upper end. The new mah-g6t a single, and Wilding scored two off first over, and an adjournment was then made for lunch, the score being 90 tuns for the loss of eleven wickets. After three-quarters of an hour’s interval, play was resumed at 2.16, R >binson bowling froth the lower end. Buchanan might have) been stumped off the first ball, but his-career anyway was short. Playing bach to the next ball he hit his wicket, 12 —l—9o. Curtis was the incomer, and Gill bowled from the upper end. His second ball was cut by Wilding for a single, and {three came from byes, Robinson was,! now bowling remarkably well, sending up some very dodgy ones. Curtis

played him to off for a single, and Gi&aent down a maiden. Wilding drove Robinson for two, and Curtis got another angle from Gil], and another single by WMding off Gill brought 100 up, the spectators applauding loudly. Wilding again' got Robinson to leg for one, and followed suit on Gill. Curtis finished the ovet .^y'converting the fifth ball into a single in the slips. Driving Robinson to leg l}e got two more, and followed it with a single off the same bowler. Barton re plaoed Gill, and tbe field was placed for catches. The first over added a single to Curtis? score, the batsman poking it off his wicket. The same batsman hit one of ■' Robinson’s over the howler’s

head for two, and followed it up by geting him to leg for 2, placing him self in double figures, and bringing llOup. Wilding added another, and cutting Lank ham, who had gone on at the lower end, got 3, including 1 from an over throw. The wicket keeper had repeated chances of stumping both men, but failed at each attempt. Wilding put 1 off Barton over ths bowlers head for 2 2 more were run,*when Curtis was given out leg before wicket, 13 —11 kitfg, the last man, got Barton prettily away to longdeg for 2, and Wilding got a single by drawing,, Lankham prettily to leg, and . another by a drive off Barton. A sipgle .was stolen by'.Wiiding, and Hos kii^;BUccumbtd to a fine ball from Lank ham/ 14—2 —124. Wilding, who had ployed a grand innings and thoroughly soda cricket for 66. carried out his bat. and

prettily for 2, and 2 more welSscbted from an overthrow.

A chance was given to run Bar ton:dut, but the field did not return the ball quickly enough. The batsman shoAbd his gratitude by driving Pixley for'3'out of bounds, and imitated the ex periment soon afterwards for another 3. Robinson managed another single, and 20 went up on the telegraph. Bar ton drew Wilding to leg for 1, and then got a fine drive for 3, and the ball going info the cr \vd of spectators, struck Mr Franklyn White on the nose, cutting it severely. 3 were called, the hit beings considered a boundary one. Barton put Wilding out of bounds again for 3, and the telegraph shewed 30. Simpson took the ball at the upper endj and 2 and a single came very quickly. Barton got Wilding to long-leg again fora single, and Robinson put one apjat square-leg, but too safe for a chance.

He then got a leg single off the last of I Wilding's over. One was then stolen by Robinson off the third of Simpson’s next '’over, and Barton' cut the' same bowUr for 2. Robinson again added 2 to his score by placing Wilding in the slip*, and singles came at each end, the tatsihen .running them well.

Barton getting sucvo.ssive siri-'<B. Arneil cut one through point’s ham's, and got 2, and another |byo was run from Hosking. Two singles were got by Arneil, and Barton cut Reeves through point’s

logs for 1. The i ext hit was better fielded, and scoring prevented. Barlow cut Hosking prettily towards the pavilion, and 3 being run, 70 came up on the tele graph. Another beautiful cut by Barton off Reeves was fielded close to the boundary line, and returned sharply, 1 being run.

Arneil got Hosking well to square leg, and the ball being badly fielded by Bu chanan, 2 were easily obtained. The Scoring was still rapid, and it is a notice able fact that up to this time only two maidens had been bowled. Arneil, who had taken a good while to become set on the cocoa-nut wicket, began to bat more freely, and getting Reeves splendidly to square leg for 3, brought 80 up, while Arneil lifted the last of this over away to deep field for 3. Again one of the field —this time Curtis- opened his legs to allow one of Arneil’s cuts to pass through, and two more came up. An drews relieved Hosking at the upper end, and Barton cut his first for L

Arneil also cut him for a single, but narrowly escaped being thrown out by Wilding. Barton placed Andrews in the slips for 2, and 100 appeared. Arneil got Reeves to leg for 2, and cut the last of the same over for 1, playing prettily, and

Andrews’ next ball he put to leg for 1, and Barton followed suit for 2. Arneil cut Andrews for 1, and Wilding got a round of applause for very prettily fielding. Bar ton drove Reeves for a single, and got another single from Andrews. The score was again coming siow, when Barton lifted Andrews grandly to long - field for two (110 up), and put the next hit one over the bowler’s head, and out of bounds for 3. One came from a bye, and Arneil cut Reeves prettily for 1. Barton followed suit, and Arneil running out Roeves, nearly missed, but got a flukey one. Castelli took the bewling at the

upper end, and his first over was a maiden, Arueil playing it. 2 were run for byes, and there was only ten minutes left in which to get the remaining five. There was still a good prospect of a drawn match. 3 singles came from Andrewes in quick succession, and there were still 2 more to get. Arniel got the winning hit of 2, and put the next to leg for 2. Simpson took the over at the lower end, and Arniel put him out of bounds for 3. Several twos were got in quick succession, and Arneil hit Maud (tue new bowle;) clean over the boundary for 4, and fol lowed it up by a fine drive across the boundary line for 3. Telegraph—l4o.
