TO-DAY'S PLAY,

The heavy rain of yesterday made the ■wicket very soft, and play wa3 not resumed until 11.12 thia morning, when Creed and Brownette resumed. Bush fowled from the town end, and the fourth ball Brownette got thrown the slips for a couple. Anthony bowled at the other end, and the first iball went for a bye. The third Brownette snicked, and an attempt was made to run three. Bush threw in smartly, and the wicket wae down. 157—g 3. Earney followed and played out the over, and a single followed to Creed off Bush. Creed's end came from the first ball from Anthony's next over, he beins clean bowled. 15S—9 12. Ryan was last man in, and he received an ovation by fielding Anthony's third ball to square leg for four. He played the remainder of the over. Earney drove Bush for a single, and Ryan lifted him into the outfield for one, these ibeing the only scores ior the over. Ryan got Anthony away nicely to leg, but the outfield was dead and only two resulted. A couple of balls later and the game was ended, Anthony getting the wicket.
