at noon. -Howe.il and Galbrailh were first in, to the bowling of Southerton and Eihmett. The former got the first over. Emittett's 'left-handed " peculiars " were not relished. Howell drove Southerton over the fence for four, .Galbraith got two singles, and then put the ball into Ulyett's hands—l.2.B. Cross joined Howell, when the latter was stumped by Selby—2.s.B. Kingswell went to the wickets, getting a duck's egg shooter from Emraett. The Inverchi'gill men were apparently loth to come to the wickets, ..causing unnecessary delay, doubtless trying to secure a drawn game, the Englishmen having to leave the Bluff at 4 p.m. At length Murray appeared, and Ulyett caught Cross at long-on — 4.1.9. - Buchanan came to the scratch somewhat more speedily, and Charlwood took a chance from Murray—s.o.ll.

Westney shortly followed suit by making hia exit by the second ball from Emmett — 8.0-22. J. .Westney joined Keade for a short time, but, receiving similar treatment at Emmett* s hands as his brother, retired—9.l.2B. J. Morrison: after some delay, came to the crease, arid; was disposed of :by Jupp at mid-off— 10.0.29. Singles . followed. When luncheon was. called the telegraph showed— 10.0.32. On resuming play, Southerton got Reade's centre stump, but not before the batsman succeded in reaching double figures—-11.10.32."
