Perry was top scorer with 91 not out. His driving and cutting were beautifully timed, and his play all round the wicket was of a highly meritorious order. Though he gave a chance at 90, Perry s innings was by far the best that has j been seen on'the Park Oval for some , seasons,and he was indeed unfortuna 8 in the respect of not having players towards the end of the innings who j were able to hold their wickets up till he had reached the coveted century. Perry received many congratulations on his fine display. Another grand innings was that compiled by Esson, viz., 56. This player batted well all through and made some very neat strokes which brougl t him boundaries. In making 34 Rawsuii gave his best display this season. He batted vigorously, and at the same time correctly and altogether his innings was pleasing to watch. Moorehouse played a nice bat for 21, and Redmond scored a neatly made 15. Thompson played well for his 10. At the call of time United had 57 up for the loss of three wickets, Clark (not out 13) and O'Leary (11) being the double figure scorers.
