PONSONBY V. GRAFTON.
Grafton made rather' a poor attempt at catching the score of 195 required to beat Ponsonb/s first • innings. Having 47 runs on for three wickets, Taylor and Osborne opeped promisingly when they carried on, and they were just on 70 and going well when Osborne was run out in going for a run that his partner declined to move for! C. Hnedden also made a promising start v.ith Taylor, who was batting solidly, but he neglected the warning of one narrow escape from being caught at m-ld-off in..trying to get Smith to the fenced, and played the self-same ehot an ov<»r later, to be caught this time, and five wickets were down with the score at'fll. At this stage Newdick, who had bowled without success for the afternoon, bonded the ball to Snedden, and for Grafton it became a question of pinning their hopes on Allcott getting going with Taj?Jpr. But 'the left-hander failed to score lit-ltt, being -beaten- and bowled by Smith. Pope saw the century up, and then he was out leg-before to Snedden, who had Goodwin caught in the slips the next ball and skittled Dykes two halls later —three wickets in the over. Next over, Taylor, who had played a good innings, was caught at extra midoff off Smith, and the innings closed for 101.
Ponsonby played out time, getting 217 for three wickets in an innings that was .sftcanfl.-wicket parfc nersnip by Snedden and Commons that put on 121. Sneddeiv-agam- played -fine , all-round cricket, and at the end of the day was unbeaten with a score of 111. Details: —
