Brice and Barber, two of the Petone team, were absent, consequently Petone played nine men. East B elected to bat. having won the toss, and sent in Hutchings and Wagstane. The latter did not remain long, Finlayson finding his wicket when 10 inns showed on the telegraph, of which number the retiring batsman had contributed three. Smith joined Wagstaffe, but was immediately sent back by Finlayson. The only stand that was made was the sixth wicket, which added 46 runs to the total, Collett being responsible for the majority. Finlayson . was in good form with the ball, and was ably seconded by Tregear and Hardham, East B being all disposed of for the comparatively small total of 132 runs. Petone batsmen met with disaster from the start, the wickets falling in quick succession. Three of Petone's wickets fell for two runs and four for 30. Rev. McMeuamin then went in, and ho and his partner carried the score to 101 before the Rev. McMenamin was smartly stumped by Wagstaffe. With seven wickets down for 106 runs and only another batsman available, Petone’s chances of reaoning East B’s score did not look hopeful. Cate played carefully, and his partner, Bennett. gradually added to the score, each lun being hailed with applause from the spectators. Eventually East B’s score was passed, and relief came to Petone supporters. Bennett was caught when his total was 20, and the innings closed with 145 runs, 13 runs ahead of East B on the first innings. Scores: EAST B—First Innings.
