TattersaU and M'Leod opened the batting for Hutt.and their partnership produced 43 runs, lattersa.l was bowled by Brice for a total ot 25 Aldersley, who took his place, added seven runs before being caught by Cate. A few balls later M'Leod was bowled''by Brice. M'Kay and M'Girr carried the 'score to 68, when M'Kay was bowled by Brice. Watson, the next man in, outlived M'Girr, who was caught by /Capstick, after contributing a modest 10. AVatson's was the next wicket to fall, and at the afternoon tea adjournment Gwilliam and Nunn were at the crease, and the score was 90—G—3. On the resumption of play, Gwilliam showed signs of reaching big figures, but he was too slow for a smart return by Senior. Gibson and Shanahan both made short stays at the wickets, and it was left to -Nunn and Beard to close the innings. Beard, who landed a 6, soon reached double figures, but his progress was' checked by a good catch by W. Hamilton, his wicket falling to M. Nicholls on the third ball of the latter's first over. Nunn, the not-out man, batted soundly for a useful 24. Brice, who bowled 21 overs, four of which were maidens, took four wickets for 05 runs, and Eeylinj? came next with four for 86. Potone's first four wickets Ml to Beard for 8 runs. Brice and H. E. Nicholls, howover,, saved the position temporarily, and between :the m carried tho score to 63, no more wickets falling before stumps were drawn. Details:— HUTT.- . First Innings.
