OLD BOYS v. PALMERSTON A.

When each team in this match had had one innings Palmerston was leading by one run. As the time was far spent and it soemed impossible that the second innings could be got over before half-past six the members of this team were congratulating themselves upon having won the match. Fate, however, was against them. They had their second innings and were all disposed of for 25 in quick time. Old Boys then went in and registered 31 for the loss of three wickets, winning the match by seven wickets. The scores were :—
