CO In the first innings of the Englishmen, Jackson was smartly taken with a one-handed catch by M'Kibbin at mid-wicket.

Abel played a patient game, and was dismissed by a grand one. - handed catch, while Lilley was secured by Iredale in the long-field. The fielding of the colonials was brilliant.

Darling and Iredale began by playing the bowling with great freedom, Richardson being' hit about freely. Iredale lost his wicket by attempting a fifth run off a bit by Darling, and the latter was dismissed by a smart catch at cover-slip. Hill lost a wicket in attempting a second run, while Giffen stayed.at the wickets for half an hour without scoring. Kelly was at the wickets for an hour, carrying out his bat for 10 runs.

In the second innings of the Eng- 4 lishmen, Trumble and M'Kibbin commenced the bowling, and disposed of the three first wickets for 28 runs.
