O T A G O . 22 1 [ T h is annual match w as played at Invercargill on March 5 j and 6, and w as again left drawn, a s w a s the case last year. j 1 But for the fact that the w icket had been protected, play ~ j would have been impossible on the first day. T h e visitors 1 j were more strongly represented than u s u a l; but Southland quite held their own. A distinct feature of the g am e was that in the first innings of each side the last w icket produced the best stand, D o ig and Gilbertson adding 42 for the home side, CondlifTe and M cLaughlin 46 for O tago . T h e tw o Ham iltons put on 38 for the third w icket in Southland’s first, and 90 for the same w icket in the second. M cL au gh lin , quite a boy, left-hand w ith a leg break, made a very good impression by his bow ling for O t a g o ; and H untley, a g o o g lv man, o f whom H arry T rott spoke highly, also did well.

O ta g o challenged C anterbury for the Plunket Shield, recently wrested by the latter team from Auckland, and the match w as played at Christchurch on March 22 and 24. T he visitors lacked Siedeberg and T o rra n ce ; the home side w as without its best bowler, Bennett. T h e w eather w as cold and w in d y ; the w icket w as stated to have been good, but, ju d gin g by the general run of the scoring, w as perhaps scarcely as good a s imagined. No O ta g o batsman greatly distinguished him self; but H ayes and youn g H ickmott p'ayed finely for Canterbury, adding 131 (more than half the total) in partnership for the second w icket. Reese, Paterson, and Sandman all bowled effectively, and Canter­ bury won by an innings and 51 runs— the province’s fourth victory in its five matches of 1912-3. First innings.
