Played at Wellington on March 4, 5, and 6. Lord Hawke’s Team won by an innings and 22 runs. In the last match of the tour, and the second against the full strength of New Zealand, Lord Hawke’s team were unable to enjoy the assistance of E. M. Dowson, who had met with an accident. There were, too, four changes in the constitution of the New Zealand eleven which had been defeated at Christchurch, Lusk, Williams, Fisher and Upham appearing instead of Frankish, Box­ shall, Downes and Hickson. Apart from D. Reese, who was seen at his very best, none of the home side ever appeared very much at ease, the whole team being disposed of for 274 runs, of which number the player named contributed 148. His runs were made out of 246 obtained whilst in, in three hours and thirty-five minutes, the chief features of his display being off-drives and leg-strokes. As Reese will be in Scotland during the summer, it is more than probable that he will be frequently heard of during the season, for he is a player who with more experience of great matches would very soon become quite first-class. He is left-handed, and, like the great majority of left-handed batsmen, scores very quickly when thoroughly set. Thompson, who claimed eight wickets for 124 runs during the innings, bowled better than the figures would lead one to suppose, and, but for the treatment he ex­ perienced at the hands of Reese, would have had a very flattering analysis. The scores of Warner and Johnson enabled the Englishmen to obtain a substantial lead, one great enough, as events proved, to enable the side to win with an innings to spare. Warner’s innings was the better, as it was the larger, of the two, and, moreover, was compiled without a chance. During the two hours and thirty- five minutes he was at the wickets, he hit nineteen 4’s and claimed 125 runs out of 212 obtained whilst in. During the time the Englishmen were batting the bowlers re­ ceived considerable assistance from the wicket, which had crumbled after the first day’8 play. The display of the New Zea­ landers in their second innings was very disappointing, the whole side being disposed of for 84 runs, after 70 had been made with only four men out. The chief cause of the dtbdcle was the bowling of Burnup, which accounted for five men at a cost of but eight runs. The fielding of the whole side, and of Hargreave especially, was of a very high standard. Full score and analysis :— N e w Z e a l a n d . First innings. C. A.

THE AVERAGES. The above was the last match played in New Zealand by Lord Hawke’s team. Their record was a very flattering one, for not once was the side defeated or even hard pressed. The tour, which was undertaken solely for educational purposes, cannot fail to be pro­ ductive of good, as it will, beyond doubt, give a great impetus to the game in New Zealand. The colonists have very few opportunities indeed of measuring their strength against first-class sides, and although the visit of Lord Hawke’s team proved very plainly that the full strength of New Zealand is hardly up to county form, the tour is bound to cause the game out there to increase in popularity by leaps and bounds. The combination, which was under the captaincy of P. F. Warner, contained the nucleus of a really strong side, and one which could be relied upon to make a fairly good fight, even against Yorkshire. Warner, Burnup and Fane were the most reliable run-getters throughout the tour, although for a short time Dowson proved almost invincible. Thompson and Hargreave, each of whom maintained his reputation and took over one hundred wickets, were occasion­ ally irresistible, at times obtaining remark­ able analyses. Burnup was, probably, all things considered, the most useful man on the side, for, in addition to scoring very consist­ ently and fielding very brilliantly, he obtained eighty-seven wickets with the ball.
