A partnership of 180 runs i'or the sixth .••,,wicket between Christophersen and - -'Wrigley, in Kilbirnie's first innings was ~.,'the-feature of the first day's play, when ' Kilbirnie met Institute at the Basin Heserve on Saturday afternoon. Chrisiophersen, after a tine, forceful innings which contained fourteen 4's, " "scored 121. Kilbirnie did not start "■•well, Rice being dismissed when only ■■•-■7 runs were on the board. Ward .-.«. played a solid innings lor 45. Wrig- . ley. with 74, gave Christophersen able "■"assistance. Bain,the young left-hander, failed to get going. Lubransky was ' run. out after having been at the wickets a considerable time for only, 5 •■tuns. Buchan again proved the pick of the Institute bowlers, and, mixing , them well, he was difficult to score oft. ' Crook was not as impressive as usual '' with the ball, but A. McLean bowled and thoroughly deserved to get ■ '■> Christophersen's wicket. Wilson smacked up a forceful 21, in which he shovv- ■ ed glimpses of his old form, and after a -solid afternoon's batting Kubirnie up with a total of 318. _ , Institute commenced their Innings a "shortly before 6 o'clock, with Crook "and Hurcombe as the opening batsmen, > .but, with the total at 10, the former ~ tipped one from Wilson, and the ball .. -was held in the slips by Rice. De Feu '.'] was next man and played out time with ' Hurcombe. "•' Details:—
