SOUTHERN TOUR OF THE AUCKLAND CRICKET TEAM.

<BY TEMGRAPH.-OWN IMPORTER.) ■ • (Wistchurch, Tu' sday night. Another etemplification of the glorious uncertainty \f cricket was a brded by this afternoon's pW. Despite ttii fact that the wicket had at up.terribly) few cricketers on the grounaexpeijted to siaauch formid able batsmen (is Barton, Te ro, Lynch, Ewing, Kobifton, j and otut s, disposed of by such' I sctatch tean as repre sented Otagoj foil compara vely small scores.

Parker «s mid-on at Kattray point, Fit gevald co ir, and Mo | Oregor long-off and Vhort log. &t first both batsmen played witl extreme ;aution, and | looked as though a stand wai going to bo \ made, but at 12 Mac(|orinick \lB caught by | Parker at mid-on. Bavton wai ,ho incomer, and 7 more runs only woi added to ; the scoro, when Testro TO run out, the ball bfeing okcelleat -. returned ; by Fitzgerald, and wellj taken by UTrith. The hopes of tho Otqo men were greatly raised by a dangerous I tsman being ■thus early got tid of. Soon ifter Lynch ■ 1 uppeared, Barton gave a sha i chance in tho slips to Turnbull, but it w ■ not taken [advantage of. With the sco at 26, the txmlers changed ends. Lyncl hould have , rjjoen run out nad the ball boi thrown to the right end; but ho did no survive his taoape long, for in tho next ver his off gtuuip was lowered by a ball hich caino across from leg. 3—1—27 api ired on tho telegraph as Stafford stepp into the , broach. For a time tho play now W. became exceedingly inonotono . Nothiug interesting occurred till tho :oro slowly mounted to 32, when Barton, trying to make a gallery hit, was bow il by Bjritli.' iCoxon come next, and at I Tur&bull M supplanted Fitzgerald.

Meldruin joined Robinson, who iiidp . nnother single, and Turnbull then bitke ■ down his defence. It now being within ho I minutoa of call of time; thc'Auckland tip i 'tain decided not to send Gill, the last mh, in till the following morning. Appened are the scores:— I I
