Coleman played a splendid innings for 59 (including five 4’s and three 3’s), following on his 66 against .Lansdowne. W. Peterson reached 34 (which included three 4’s) made in good style. An outstanding knock was that of G. Peterson who registered 22 when runs were badly needed and the College bowlers were dead on the wicket, the wind assisting them to swerve in. Welch bowled well for College, taking 7 wickets for 54. Stevens, who got 3 for 33, bowled much better than his figures would indicate and the Red Star batsmen could take no liberties with him. The College second innings closed- just before time for 156. to which Welch, Hjaar (who was at the wickets for nearly two hours) and Berry contributed the bulk of the runs by good batting. Welch hit six boundaries and Hoar four. The following were the scores: —

Hutt and Kilbirnie had an exciting contest for the first innings honours, Hutt coming out on top by the narrow margin of three runs. Good bowling by Lemin and J. Ashenden saw Hutt fall for 123, but, small as was this total, Kilbirnie failed to reach it, being dismissed for 120. Wellington found the bowling of Whyte and. J. Lamason too good for them, and could only scrape 105 together. Wellington College Old Boys replied with 240 (L. V. Browne 85). Wellington had 26 .on without loss in their second innings.
