Shaw mode a good 1, and then Greenwood ikied the ball, but tho catch wa* (polled between Smith at long-leg, and Stock who collided, the player (coring 2.

Tho bateman retired, amidst tremendous cheering, for the grand score of 66 ; seven for 135. Emmett took Greenwood’s place, but after making 1 was stumped by Buchanan, to whom the ball wa* cleverly sent in by Smith ; eight for 136. Lilly white then wont in, but was immediately caught by Reade off his own bowling; nine for 136. Southerton took Lillywhite’s place, and started with a single off Reade, and up to lunch time had made 2. After lunch, Hayward bowled the first over. Scoring went on slowly until Southerton made a 3 off Reade. Armitage, in Reade’s next over, made two S's to leg. Howell then took the ball from Reade at twenty minutes past three, when the score stood at 157. Throe minutes later Armitage was well caught by Galbraith at long-stop; all out for 158.
