Caygill t&en went in, but with the total at 336 for six wiokets the innings was declared closed. Rain carried out 'his bat for a well played 65. -St. Albans's fielding end

bowling were again bclorr senior form. St. Albans, in a minority of '27q, started their second innings, end-the only thing they had to play tor iv.as to save an I innrngp defeat, and thus have only 2 points scored against them, instead of A for an outright -win. OHivicr and Weston played pluckily to avert this, and later in the innings Banritt hit freely, but Ricoarton were not to be denied, and in the end they won as above stated with plents ox time in hand.
