NELSON, 21st December. The match between Nelson and the Englishmen was continued to-day in excellent weather. The outfield was alow after rain, but the wicket, which had been covered, was fast.

Nelson , resumed batting with five wickets down for 131. However, the rest ot the innings was nothing but a procession of batsmen from the pavilion to the crease and "back, the remaining five wickets falling for 11 runs. Barratt was in good form with the ball, and clean bowled four in three overs. The innings closed for 142 when Duleepsinhji took a splendid catch in the slips. Dawson and Gilligan opened for England. There was a sensational touch when J Newman bowled Gilligan with the third ball of the first over, when one run had been scored. From the commencement Duleepsinhji treated the bowlnig with little respect, hitting up 30 in twenty minutes. At lunch one wicket was down for 40. Dawson was then 10. lhe batsmen, continued after lunch, the Indian scoring, at double the pace of his partner. Duleepsinliji is, no doubt, a master batsman, as he scored runs .from nearly every ball, the crowd applauding every stroke. Varied shots all round the wicket mcluded well-timed leg shots? pretty cutting, and hard driving. It was really a wonderful exhibition. At 80 he gave a . chance in the. longfield, but was otherwise ehanceless, reaching 100 in 10G mmutes He hit eleven four!, one sixer and afterwards hit hard at everything He was caught in the longfield for V>7 and given great applause. Dawson was" dives H ft* SC°red m°st'y times. He hit one sixer out of thp ground mto the sea. Hawkes and Newman had him thinking at times, but he gave no chance. Everyone was expectant when Woolley went in, but he went legbefore wicket before he got goim; He hit a pretty four to the leg boundary off the first ball.
