Too wicket was in good order, and sue outfield was fast. A stars was made shortly after II o’clock. Btes won the tos?, and sent his opponents So tne oraasu, G. Reynolds and Fenwick openiog to Boos aod W. Barker. Barker buwled a maiden to Fenwick, who did not uppoar comfortable. Reynolds opened by pulling Bros So she boaadary for 4, following up with a neat drive for 2. Tho dox) ball had just enough work on to bta, the bat and shifted the middle pin. Br. Oollina opened confidently, sooring 5 in two hits, but mia-hit Barker, and was neatly oaught by Morgan at point. Fanwick contributed a single, and then snicked Beo3 into W. Barker’s hinds in the slip?. Wish three wickets down for 12, the prospcot did not look too encouraging; but when the next five wickets went down without any altera I ,ion to the score, all hopes of victory vanished. At this stage •Bees had bagged six wickets for 11 runs. Ho waa keeping a splendid length, and nipping back wish a precision that wore down the batsmen’s defence. Tho bowlers gave way to Monokton and Dr Buokeridge, and those in turn to Gooldsmith acd Seymour, each of the bowlers securing good figures. Branson was tho only ba's man to reach double figures, making 11. Tho innings oloasd for 29. Tho fielding was good, aod several Sue catches wee made- H. Kenway snapped up W. G. Fraeer Binartly behind the wiokeis before he got gjing, aod A. W. Bars accepted a hot retarn from Stock before tho latter had opened hia account. G. R. Wyllie waa &)) out. Kenway end Momkton were the pioneer baiamen for Rres’ team, Reynolds and Dr Oollina bowling Neither of the trundlera appeared able to maintain a length and runs oame freely. Monokton, after three or four " lives.” ran into the thirties. Kenway waa bowled by ; Dr Collins when ho had made tis Siy-

Qour put on three, and was thon cleverly j brownout by Barron, Burke followed, * ,nd the partnership put on over 50 runs, donokton hit at everything, and being issistod by bad catching passed hia half j, lentury amid chocrs.

V 7. 4 Nolan, Fenwick, Branson, Barron, aod ] Anderson were triod without result, j Monokton resired at the luncheon adj summent wish his tcere at 68. On resumiug , W. Barker and Goullsmilh batted, Too j latter was bowled by Slock for a brace, and Morgan, who followed, was stumped by Dr. Collins off tho same bowler. Barker aod Mann rattled up 16 each by attractive criokst, tho former being bowled, and tho latter oaught and bowled by Stock. This bowler was keeping ao even length, and could have bowled with advantage to hia side earlier in the inning?. P. Bilker, Dr. Buckoiidgo, und G. E, Eliott also fell before his attack, the former boing nicely caught in the coaotry bv H. Baiker, and tho i&tior giving a hot chance to Fenwick in the slip?. L. T.
