Itiis placed a heavy responsibility on the other members of the team, and for all with the exception of W. Turvev it wns. too great. Turvcy, who has been scoring solidly this season, faced a difficult Position with confidence, and from the fall ot tho first wicket he played right through until the close of the innings, by which time he had passed the century mark. His performance was a meritorious one, and, while caro was nc-eessM-y against the stinging attack set up by Hutt, lurvey did not neglect to force the leather when the opportunity was suitable. Hib score o£ 105 included fourteen fours. The merit of his innings was appreciated by players and spectators alike. The leading bowlers for Hutt were -Heard and M'Girr, who both; added excellent figures to their fine accounts for tho,season. Four other members of the team were tried with the ball, but the only one to get a. wicket was Nunn.
