Played at Christchurch, February 2, 4 and 5. M.C.C. won by 236 runs. In this, the return, match the M.C.C. amply avenged their defeat on New Year’ s Day, winning with great ease by 236 runs. The feature of the match was Branston’s faultless innings of 119, which contained a 5 and seventeen 4’s : in partnership with Har­ rison he added 136 for the sixth wicket. Lusk played a good game for the home side, but the best form was shown by Orchard, a left- handed batsman, who, with Boxshall, put on 70 for the last wicket. Page, in his second innings, hit fourteen 4’s, eleven of which were contained in his first 46, and it was due mainly to him that it was found possible to declare the innings closed with a wicket in hand. Canterbury were left 330 minutes in which to obtain 345 to win, but at no time did it appear likely that the runs would be obtained. Douglas, May, and Simpson- Hayward all bowled well, and the M.C.C. won by the large margin stated. Score and analysis :— M.C.C. First innings- P. R.

M.C.C. won by an innings and 95 runs. The visitors held the upper hand through­ out and gained a run-away victory by an innings and 95 runs. Johnson and Fox made 139 together for the opening partner­ ship, and Harrison, Page, Douglas, and Simpson-Hayward all hit well. Harrison succeeded in reaching three-figureland, but was missed when 84, and again before he ob­ tained his hundred. Otago had the distinction of making the largest score (257) which had been made against the M .C.C., but, notwith­ standing this, were obliged to follow-on and eventually to acknowledge defeat by a very large margin.
