Hopes were dashed early, as a couple of chances went begging which materially altered the complexion of the game. Patea made good use of their opportunities, and put on 170 runs. Hamel was top score with a wellplayed 50. Findlay, who gave a chance in his first over, played solidly and well afterwards in getting 24. Oakes made a lively 26, while Palmer 12, Smith 10, and Tinney 12 also gave great help. Excelsior had an hour and 10 minutes to get the runs, and managed 134 for seven wickets when time was called. /Towards the end the light was very dull, but a greasy ball somewhat handicapped the bowlers. Fulton 36 and Crombie 38 put on 64 together in very quick time. Galvin 22 was going well, too, when he Was howled just on the stroke .of time: For Excelsior, McCarthy did most of the bowling, and captured five for 65.
