Wyatt tried every bowling combination. Headley’s innings was a mixture of brilliance and caution. , He frequently found the boundary in spite of the brilliant English fielding. Sealey’s innings was almost faultless. Smith bowled a short bumper over Sealey’s head. It seemed unintentional, but Wyatt spoke to Smith. Scores: — WEST INDIES—First Innings.

Pybus asked Mr. Chamberlain substantially to reduce the incidence of the entertainment duty on County cricket clubs, as it had reduced them to such straits that their existence was threatened, reducing their support of village cricket. Mr Chamberlain replied that lie was not aware that the duty inflicted a special hardship on County cricket clubs. As their activities could not be described as partly educational or scientific, he could not grant relief.
