WIN TO INSTITUTE.

Institute had scored 243 in the first day of the match against Midland, the latter team having commenced their reply by

scoring 10 without the loss of a wicket. Hester (6) and Bryant (3) continued the innings when the match was resumed on the No. 1 wicket at the Basin Reserve on Saturday, and made a solid stand for the first wicket, 50 being on the board before Bryant was caught by Burt off Prince. Baker joined Hester, but only three runs had been added when he lost bis partner. The Midland wickets continued to fall regularly before Prince's slow deliveries, and from one,for GQ, the position became six for 110, which was not nearly so good. Apart from Doneghue none of the batsmen was able to stay with Baker, who was butting defensively and scoring slowly. The play generally was quiet with little ol interest, as it never appeared likely that Midland would get the runs necessary for a win. It took Baker un hour and a half to get his 24, sixteen of which came from singles. He was dismissed by a ball from Prince that beat him completely, to find his stumps. Towards the end of the innings Standidge brightened the play by showing an inclination to hit out when the opportunity offered. He had no hesitation in walking up the pitch to Prince and smacking the latter's deliveries to leg on the full. Had it not been for the fact that only two same off each stroke to what was to him, a lefthander, the leg boundary, his score would probably have been greater. He eventually failed to connect with one of the slows and was caught out of his crease by Aitken. Prince put up a remarkably fine bowling performance by ' taking seven wickets at a cost of just under Sis runs apiece off thirteen overs. He generally had the batsmen well tied up and received,-plenty of support from the field. With less than an hour left for play Institute went to the wickets again and treated the bowling in a cavalier fashion to knock up 95 runs for the loss of Bilby's wicket before stumps were drawn. Wareham and Rogers both hit hard at whatever was offering. Details: —

Fall of wickets: One for 50, two for 59, three for 63, four for 74, five for 09, six for 110, seven for 145, eight for 147, nine for 162.
