SOUTHLAND v. CANTERBURY. At Invercargill, February 10 and n . The last match (and the only previous one) between these provinces was played nearly 20 years ago at Christchurch. As usual at Invercargill, where wickets run slow in consequence of frequent rains, scoring was low. Canterbury, though not fully represented, won by 10 wickets. The chief feature of the match was Wilson’s successful bowling. Beal made six catches in Southland’s two innings. S o u th lan d . First Innings. E. Kavanagh, c Caygill, b Wilson J. W. H.

At the Carisbrook Ground, Dunedin, February 13, 14, and 16. For the first time the Plunket Shield was played for elsewhere than 011 the ground of the holders, this being due to the conditions lately laid down by the N.Z. Cricket Council. Canterbury, though by no means at full strength, Reese, Hickmott, and Sandman being all absent, retained their hold on the trophy. But the home side had hard luck. Their captain and perhaps their best bat, Siedeberg, dislocated his thumb early in thegame. Downes took over the captaincy, and Bryden was allowed to play in Siedeberg’s place, but failed to score a run in the match. Whitta and Caygill put up 99 for Canterbury’s first wicket before the latter was smartly thrown out by Siedeberg. Patrick had something more than his fair share of luck ; but his 118 was a most valuable innings, and as it included 2 sixes and 15 fours it is evident he did not neglect to lay on the wood. Thomas helped him to add 87 for the eighth wicket, and an unexpectedly long stand between Thomas and Bennett—not against a tired attack, either, for it occurred on the second morning—realised 106 in under an hour. Canterbury’s 442 is a record for these matches. The feature of Otago’s first innings was a hard-hit 71* by Chadwick. He ran to 27 in 15 minutes, and he andHiggins added 112 forthe ninth wicket in very quick time. When Otago followed on he was sent in first, but was out at 39. Tuckwell, who played particularly well, and McFarlane added over 60 for the third wicket, and Watson and Bruges also showed some form ; but Otago could not recover the ground lost, and went under in the end by an innings and 32 runs. Bennett bowled well, and took 11 for 135 in the game. C a n te r b u r y . H. B. Whitta, c Downes, b McFar­ lane .. .. 61 E. R. Caygill, run out .. .. 40 W. Hayes, c & b Downes .. .. 3 H. A.

An unrepresentative Canterbury team (whether some of the men included ever played for the province at all is doubtful) detracted from the interest in this match, and it is recorded that very short boundaries made fours easy ; but the score is worth giving on account of Baker’s century, and good scores made by J. D. Lawrence and T. W. Reese. Lawrence was only a few years ago quite one of the best batsmen in New Zealand, and has evidently not lost all his ability. Baker batted in quite his old style, and his innings was thought so highly of that he was induced to turn out for the province in their match v. Southland, after several years’ absence from the ranks. Another interesting re-appearance was that of A. H. Fisher, the crack left-hand bowler of New Zealand for a dozen years or so. His 4 for 46 in Canterbury’s first was about the best analysis in the game. Boxshall, the portly wicket-keeper, tried his hand as a bowler, and took 4 for 63 in Otago’s first. Canterbury declared ; but Baker (the short boundaries must have been real jam to one who is still an active cricketer) scored so fast that the runs were easily hit off, and Otago won by 9 wickets.

I Zingari Tour in Egypt. 27 1 7 14 141 FIRST MATCH, v. CAIRO. On the Gezireh Ground, Cairo, March 12 and 14. Headed by over 100 runs on the first innings, owing mainly to a stand of 123 for the third wicket by G. R. Kinder and Major Liddell, the tourists yet won in the end by the substantial margin of 113 runs. For this they had largely to thank Hesketh-Prichard, their one bowler of more than moderate pretensions, who did fine work for his side. Head and Mordaunt added 93 in I Zingari’s second innings, and only MacLaren, who hit a six and 5 fours in his 39, did anything when Cairo batted again. I Z in g a r i . First Innings. Capt. the Hon.
