TO-DAY'S MATCH.

Auckland y. Otago.

,The heavy rain which fell last night did not hurt the wicket, andwhen tho second of the series of interprovincial matchc., Auck land v. Otago, commonced on the Lancaster Park at 11.15. The woather was beautifully fine, and tho , ground in good condition. Otntjo having won tho toss sent Auckland to field, tho disposition being': D. Lynch, bowler and slip; W. E. Barton, mid on and cover; W. W. Robinson (captain), bowler and short slip; W. Uo.-on, point; C. MacCorrnick, long slip and mid-off; C. Stafford, mid-on and cover; E. Mill., short .slip and .third man; J. Tostro, long Blip and mid-off; W. Meldruro, short leg; J. Gill, mid-on ;J. P. Ewing, wicket-keeper. Spring and Parker were tiTe first to. represent Otago, the latter played a maiden from Lynch, and Spring was dis posed of with tho first ball from Robin son, nicely taken by the bowler— I—o-o,_nnd Grieve partnered Parker. A few maidens followed, which were sent down from each end, till Griove suc ceeded in getting Robinson to leg for 3. A single to Parker from the same bowler, and a nice drive to off for •_ were tho next contributions. Parker then skied one in the slips, but Lynch let it bound out of" his hands, and 10 appeared. The Auckland skipper gave way to Meldrum. Grieve played excellent cricket, and, placing his hits with duo iminalion, sent 3D ur, which cause 1 Burton to relievo Lynch. Forty rapidly going up, Robinsljn re; Burned thfe .bowling at his old endj and Gill relieved Barton. Each bowler Was pasted in his first over, and half a century appeared. Off Gill, Parker gave the wicket-keeper a chance, but was not availed Of. At 5Sj Stafford was bowled by Gill* and after 60 had been hoisted Mills sup planted his captain. Shortly afterwards the clangorous partnership was dissolved, Gteeh being bowled by Stafford; his 31 funs were the result of perfect pldy, ttlid though this was his first appearance in an impottant match, he played with petfeet confidence, and his plaeinc tvaa nicely timed. 2-31-C7. McGregor went Id, but after^contributing a couple of Singles, he was clean bowled in swinlng at btafford; Rattray partnered Parker. A succession of maidens were sent down, till Parker got 3 for a nice cut off Stafford, who immediately gave way td Lynch. Parker gave nrotlier sharp chance in the slips, " but was let off, and Mills, who had sent down five successive maidens, retired in Meldrsm'a favour. Parker's timo was no. tome, for shortly before the lunch adjourn ment he was disposed of leg before wicket

Parker played a.somewhat lucky innings, but batted with vigour ; and with 83 runs for 4 wickets down Mallard filled the breach, and after a couple of overs had been delivered' the adjournment for lunch was made. Score at Sa.

3 p.m. ' Ten minutes after the resumption^if hos tilities the century appeared, causing Robinson (with slows) to go on in the place of Lynch. Mallard skied one, but, to the general surprise of the spectators and field alike, Gill quietly stood watching the ball, without making an effort to secure it. A fine hit then sent 110 up, but nt 116 Mal lard was well caughtby Mills. Fairburn came next, and made things lively, scoring nine off three successive balls from Robin son. This brought Stafford on again, and fie change had the desired effect, Fairburn being caught in the slips—6—l3—l34. This made an oponing for Fitzgerald, who came just in timo to see Ratt ray bowled off his pad. Morris suc cessfully negotiated the rest of the over, but Fitzgerald was caught without adding to the score — 8 for 131, and witli Frith _ advent, the end was to hand. Fitzgorald contributed a couple, and H ifford bowled him-9—2—136. This vai the state of the game as Turnbull, the last man, took his place at the wickets. The score was raised to 141, when Turnbull's stumps was scattered.
