The game did not. commence until about 2 30 p.m. by the who had won th« toss, tfoing in. The two first wickets fell quickly, Wilson running himself out, and a fine catch by Wood at short leg pausing Ollivior to retire, Secretan and W. Frith, however, played well, and the score increased rapidly while they were at the wickets. C. Frith, who was bowling at the lower end, gave way to Corfe, and Ashby changed from fast to slow. The flret ball from Corfe proved fatal to W. Frith, caught at short-leg for a neatly played 17. Baker hit the slows grandly to leg for 5, but was soon afterwards well caught by Wood at mid-on. With the score at 93, Secretan, who had played a fine innings, was bowled by Corfe for 43, made principally by cuts. Very little stand was then made against the bowling, but when Neilson and Skelton became partners the rain came on, which put an end to play for the afternoon. Corfe bowled well, and the fielding was good, Wood making two very fine catches. The following is the score :
