Tho start was inurked with very slow play, seven runs only being added in thirty minutes. Burnup added four to his unfinished innings und then played Collins into Armstrong's hands in tho slips. A few balls later Stunning, who addod seven to his Saturday's score, was disposed of in a similur manner. Taylor, without having scored, in trying to pull Armstrong, was snapped up by Raver. Dowsou and Bosauquet looked like ntakiug a stand, but with eight to his credit the latter fell a victim to a good catch by Armstrong off Collins. The scoro at this stago was 112, and so remained while Thompson and Trott camo and want.
