Miiton played fist rate cricket, treating all the bowlers with impunity, and playing his usual “ stonewall" game He was especially hard on Spoff jrth, whom he repeatedly cut for twos, threes, and fours Bar. es and E. Cotcerill also played well. The lat'er got fairly well on to one of fipofforth’s deliveries, and hit the ball 100 yards before it pitched.
