Canterbury' commenced batting with the not outs,Spinks and Jacobs, Worrall and Mills opening the bowling for the visitors. The batsmen at first , started steadily, but-soon opened out.to'the bowl-, ing,.treating , it;with.great contempt. Both , , men continued to pile on the' runs, Jacobs' i if anything being the.more aggressive. His pulling and driving at this stage was ''a feature of his play, wycherley and Ccjlumb replaced -Worrall and Mills ' at:the " bowling croasej but still the/runs continued to come fast; Spinks. was'-nqw batting'^yith 1 extreme confidence- and making some beautiful , late ; cuts at .the. expense;, of • Columb. •>•' Another change was made in the bowling, Worrall replacing Columb, but the -runs continued to come ; steadily until Jacobs was bowled by Worrall, in trying to pull a straight ball, the' score then reading 3 for 222. The departing batsman's 65 was obtained by good"cribket, his driving and pulling/strokes being well executed. ■■■■':,' , ' .' ...-. : ' : -.:' .--.; Donnelly joined Spinks,;.and: the newcomer at once- hit out at the bowling. ■ Hβ was rory severe on Diithie, and repeatedly; sent him to the,boundary.'

A little later Bain v/as clean bowled by Mille, tho score-sheet ,at the

Both bat'smen continued' to bat with confidence, , and . Hudson gave place to Hebden. Canterbury's fielding was now not so keen, Hebden missing Columb in the slips off, Bridges, buV : , ■ he soon'm'ade amends by bowling • Duthie' with the first' ball of his next over.
