Three wicketa were down for 40 ■ when Alidlano joined Baker, and the pair played very lively cricket. Before they were separated they bad increased the score by 174. Midlane scored rapidly, but was bowled by Doolcy three wickets before Baker succumbed. Baker's was the seventh wicket down, and his innings lasted about two hours and a half. This brilliant young player met all tho bowling with ease, and showed great varioty in'his strokes. It was a great innings, and practically chanceless.
