The end came shortly afterwards, and 'the side returned to the pavilion with 177 to their credit. Otaki, who had .not expected such a determined stand, soon showed that •they were wel! worthy of their place on the ladder, for although they had only a fair start they made, with the aid of a resolute stand by F. S. Simcox and" S. Sievers, a total of 118 for .six and therefore played out time for ,a draw.
