Of "tfiis total Bempsiter contributed 137—five others gained double figures. Banks with 18 being second highest scoier. ixempslter adopted ultra cautious tactics : takingj just over fhr«e ho-uis to feaeli his •century. Although he did not appear |o^ be troubled by the bowling, the coach did not a)t any stage force the pace, being content to play for a draw; Considering that. the foWlers did not receive any assistance from the wicket, the visitors should have made, an attempt to get the runs, required for a first innings, win. Hurfefr'a fielding was keen, Lees in particular doing good work. In the > bowling . department "Warnes was the most sueeeissful, ''baggin^g 3 wickets for, 40 off 12 overs. Judd bowled very steadily sending, down 22 overs of which 13 were maidens and Staving only 23 runs scored oE his t liveries. Beard, although only securing one wicket (Foley's) bowled TeaUy weU/requinag -waiJeMng "all tie time; be sent down 22 overs of which. 5 were maidens.

Institute's tanie halting flattered the Hutt trundlers.: J>uddj;-in particular, although bowling well, was paid too niueii respect. Only 15 balls out of IS2 were scored off. Dempster lias: played morel sparkling citicket than that which he revealed last Saturday.
