Godby joined Paramor, and' though Otaco' bad no hope of saving a oneinning’s defeat, much was expected from tbc two batsman. The disappointment of Otago was great when Paramor. after playing carefully, hit Fuller up to square leg, where Stevens held him. 4—3—14. Collinson joined Godby, and hit the first ball from Puller to leg for 2. He played carefully for over half - an - hour, his best hit being into the slips, for three off Fuller; but in playing the second ball of Fuller’s next over-he cut him sharply into the slips, low down, where Moore made a splendid, catch. 5—7—26.
