The Park was crowded with spectators, visitors arriving from all along the toast. At one o'clock the Westland team went to the wickets, Ongley and Low being the first batsnvii. Thompson opened' with very s\\ ifi bowling, and the general opinion was that the local team would stand very little chance. However, as coon as the men got confidence they hit out, with the result that 111 was lvoorded before .the last wicket fell. Low was the first to go, being bowled by. Thompson. Then followed Aclanis, who was bawled after three balls. Robsdn made a stand, getting eight. Ongley was caught when lie had made six by Thompson. R. Currie came next, and quite surprised the Engfjshmen, proving himseif a regular stonewaller. Hargreavee, Thompson, and Burnup were tried, but could not move him. He earned his bat after compiling 31 runs. He was over two hours at the wickets. His performance was cheered, and a subscription made to present him ■with a Oat. Pochin started well, and in three hits made eigjit, "when -he was bowled by Thompson. Wickes (captain) made one run, and was bowled by Burr.r.p. Five members made "ducks' eggs," and the others managed to get one or two. ■ The bowling of Hargieaves and Thompson : •.'.as very difficult for the local men to play, both bowlere being very deadly. After a few minutes' interval Whatman and Thompson went in, and faced the bowling of Ongley. Whatman wav clean bowled in the third ball, and after making four Thompson was caught bji Horton off Ongley. Fane followed, and compiled six, when Ongley again took th* middle stump.
