He scored three boundaries. The century was brought up in 109 minutes. Headley batted gracefully with Hunte. They added 77 for the seventh wicket in 44 minutes, Hunte’s share being only 16. Headley reached his century in 113 minutes. The second 56 was scored in 44 minutes, Headley’s full hatting time being 141 minutes. He hit 14 boundaries and gave no semblance ef a chance. His was altogether the innings of a. champion and he thoroughly deserved the splendid ovation he received. The time of the full innings was 183 minutes. The visitors were greatly excited when Constantine bowled Woodfull for nil. The other batsmen gave a neat display without taking risks with the accurate howling and keen fielding. The centurv was brought up in 93 minutes. Ponsford scored his 50 in 93 i minutes. The attendance was 11,000 and the gate takings £422. The scores are: ' WEST INDIES. First Innings.
