ALL OR NOTHING BID. PALMERSTON’S LUCK FAILS. With their five best batsmen out for a total of but 67 runs in reply to Y.M.C.A.’s initial score of 214, Palmerston did not bat further in . that innings on Saturday, but declared their innings closed "in an effort to dismiss Y.M.C.A. cheaply and then

make the required runs to give them an outright win. Cameron and hdlm, however, dashed Palmerston s hopes with an opening partnership ot 72, although the whole side was out tor 149. Cameron, Edhn and Hatch the first three batsmen, contributed 4J,21 and 22 respectively. Rabone, with 24, was the only other to reach double figures. One man short at the opening of the day’s nlay, as were Y.M.C.A., Palmerston had the misfortune to have another injured and thus entered o*l their second strike with only nine. The side were all out for 116, Murchison finding a happy patch for an average of 6 wickets for 31 runs. Y.M.C.A., a few minutes before 'die bell went for the and of play, thus gained an outright win.
