Warwick's opening was not- auspicious, three wickets .being down for 58. Then Qu’aife and Santall carried the agore to 104 iby means of careful play. Gregory was bowling faster than usual, turning from the off, being very difficult to play. Parsons was quick -but confident a,nd ntrong on the off-eide. Hq and Santall hit freely, mostly in front of the wicket. Whe the partnership had added 88, Santall 'Was well held Iby Collins low at mid-off. Parsons .followed in the next over, through .stepping: out to drive Mailey, when .he was easily stumped. He had batted for 130 minutes and had displayed fine wrist work, powerful drives, and well timed leg hits. Oalthorpe and Smith, provided the best partnership of the day. They put on 42 in 25 minutes. The feilding generally was good, nevertheless! the county scored -an unusual number of boundaries. Stumps were drawn.—Reuter.
