With 114 runs on for four wickets as against Eden's first innings ' total of 124, University were dismissed for 155, Blair taking four wickets for 8 runs in five overs. Eden made a better showing in their second innings, declaring at 152 for three wickets, with an hour to play.

Horspool and Snedden opened for Grafton, facing the bowling of Ooates and Dacre. After half-an-hour's play the score was only 14 and Horspool, who had put on 8 runs was then caught on the boundary by Gerrard off Dacre. Allcott joined Sneddon, who scored 20 before being bowled by Townsend, who was keeping the runs down well. Wilson filled the vacancy, but had to retire temporarily owing to receiving a knock on the back of the neck. Fletcher took his place, but was l.b.w. to Townsend before he had scored, the total then being 44 for three wickets. The next five batsmen failed to stay, and when Hughes joined Allcott Grafton had lost eight wickets for 68. Allcott, who had given a sound display, fell to Johnson alter he had scored 37. The innings closed for a total of 82. ' . •
