The wicket was in excellent order. Mill-Wood and Wilson who made a record in Victoria hy hatting all day without being separated, commenced England’s innings. From the start, play was very slow. Hill-Wood being purely on the defensive, lie had only made three of the seventeen on the hoard when ho was snapped up at the wickets off Arthur Richardson. Calthrope commenced with a couple of braces, one off each howler, hut he lapsed into cautious tactics, and the lir.st fifty took fifty-five minutes to compile. Neither of the batsmen could get Arthur Richardson away, lie howled for an hour, only nineteen runs being made off him for one wicket. Lowley .the new man from Clare could not find his length at first. Calthorpe hitting his tsvo first halls to leg boundary. Then, his deliveries improving, seining was painfully slow.

Chapman set a merry pace, leading off with three h uindal ies. He slowed down subsequently, and many line hits were stopped by the field, which was skilfully placed to intervene his favourite strokes.
