Auckland went to the wickets. Shortly after starting, T. Carlton replaced Sandman, and a few overs later W. Carlton relieved Bennett. The batsmen displayed more spirited cricket, and the half-century was reached for another quarter of an hour's play, 64 showing at the end of ' the first hour. Good bowling and brilliant fielding steadied the run-getting, but both Hemus and Anthony were batting freely, the former reaching 50 after one hour and twenty minutes' play, while Anthony had compiled 31, the board showing a total of 92. Recce was j the next bowler tried, but, despite these frequent changes, the figures advanced. Hemus gave the first chance of the innings by sending a high one to Patrick a few yards from the boundary, the latter misjudging and failing to hold the ball. The century was passed a few minutes before 1 p.m., and just on the luncheon adjournment Anthony sent the last ball of the over to T. Carlton at silly inid-on, who held it. Scores are :—: — -" Hemus, not out 59 Anthony, c. T. Carlton, b W. Carlton 39 Extras ...' 10 Total for one wicket ... 108
