No otflier players readied douible figures. V. Harris, a googMe bowler, had tihe local men completely tied up, and accounted for j sax of ihe wickets very cheaply.

St. Mark's opened their second attempt very badly, losing the fingt four wiickete for 11 runs. V. Harris (and Prain became associated, however, and the next wicket fefll after 39 runs had been added. The innings closed fotr 75. Praan (24 not out) played a steady game, while V. Harris (23) also played good cricket. Perry again accounted for six wickets.

Facing a score of 94 runs to win,, 9b. iMatibhew's started the apparently hopeless task, which was made a, certainty 'when the first four wickets fell for five runis, Styles being very foolishly nun out by Perry.
