The attendance svt the start was very small, 'but later totalled 4138, and the takings were £162. Hearac (125) and Douglas (58) faced tho howling of Brown and McDonald. Douglas unexpectedly hit the first ball to the fence. TTcarno hoisted 300 in 2/9 minutes. Douglas registered 10 in five minutes, which surprised the onlookers. Hearno was beantifully phieing the ball. Matthews relieved .McDonald, and howled .Hearno with his third ball. Heartio played a. chanccloss innings for 228 minutes, and .hit twenty 4's. —f> —l-43 —3:38. Smith joined Douglas, who settled down to stonewalling and reached the century in 219 minutes.

Smith was shaping well. Play ceased twice during the day < for ro'sfiT-.hmoHts, and one of the spectators roared to "put tihe hose on them." After tho luncheon adjournment (which-was made with the score 386 for 6 'wickets, Douglas 103 and Smith 25), Brown and McDonaJd again took the (ball.- Douglas opened by leg-hit-ting Brown for four, and Smith, brought-up 400 in. six hours. Then he got his leg in front to Brown, and was out. When he was 2he was missed in the slips by Armstrong off McDonald, and he hit 6 fours, batting 73 minutes.—7 —4.7 —427. Tromonger was diffident and overcareful, but was caught in the «Kps j before he had gone far. —8 —7—456. Barnes joined Douglas, who lifted ' Scott to long off, where ho was well caught. He had hatted for 327 minutes, and hit fourteen fours and one five (four for overthrow). He was at the- wick vis while 320 runs were scored, and received* an ovation on rehinvinigito the pavilion. —9 —140—465. Hitch was next, but .was caught at cover after two runs had been added.
