The first wicket partnership pul on 13 runs and the score was 34 when the second wicket fell, but the remaining baismeu failed to make any stand at all, the innings closing for 43. Tne wickets fell as follows; x for 13, 2—34, 3—34, 4—36, 5—38, 6—38, 7—38, B—4o, 9 43, 10-—43, Death, who made his first appearance bis season, bowled well, getting six wickets for 2i runs. The Foxton players considered they had a fairly strong batting team and with only the small score of 43 to beat their chances of success were voted excellent. However, the glorious uncertainty of the game was again in evidence and when the last wicket fell the the total was four short of Devin’s score. The first wicket fell with with only one on the board and at four four more batsmen Had “come and gone.” The sixth wicket fell at 10, seventh at 21, eighth at 37, ninth and tenth at 39.
