At one period they were twenty minutes in getting six. .Mills lasted altogether for 50. minutes and then fell to a brilliant catch by Douglas at square leg. Lowryresisted for 2 hours and 2 minutes, batting in the pluckiest way and hitting hard when tbe chance offered. He was missed at the wicket when 24 and eventually was caught on the boundary after hitting five fours. Tlie others made a poor fist of Rhodes’ left-hand breaks. The attendance was verv small.
