Canterbury started their second innings badly. Cotterill was caught off a long hop, and Craw shaw, who was suffering from an injury, failed to stop a single ball from Garrett. Wheatley and Dunlop would not stop in their crease and were well stumped by Jarvis. Ashby aud Fowke were playing well aud were dismissed by easy balls. The latter was unlucky enough to be caught off the last ball of the day. Barnes played capitally, and received compliments from the visitors and selectors for his display. Millton, E. Cotterill, Barnes, Rayner, and Mathias are expected to make fair scores, and Some of the rest may also do so and thus set the Australians a respectable total to make to win a highly in teresting and exciting game. Blessrs W.'P. Reeves and Spring umpired efficiently. The state of the game at present is Canterbury 129 runs to the good and 10 wickets to fall.
