THE LOCAL TEAM MAKE A GOOD

SCORE,

[PEESS ASSOCIATION TELEGRAM] CHRISTCHURCH, Jan. 1. The first representative match of the present season played here was commenced at Lancaster Park this afternoon, the contesting sides being a. team organised by South Melbourne Cricket' Club (fresh from ith'ssuccession of victories up North) and a strong Canterbury eleven. The latter was the same team that defeated Otago last week, except that Bishop, of St. Albans Club, replaces Norman, a Riegarton player. The weather was beautifully fine, while the wicket was as fast and plumb as skilled work could make it; a fast outfield com’pleting conditions that were ideal for cricket.
