Neither batsmen made a stand, Ulyett being bowled fors,and Grace caught for 8. Barlow and Steele thou got together, and they had added materially to the score when Steele was disposed of, caught for 15. Lucas joined Barlow, und despite the state of tho wicket, they succeeded in making a good defence. Barlow was at length bowled, after making a splendidly played IK.
