PARNELL'S GOOD START

TO WHITELAW :'/ In the match between University and : Parnell, the two leading teams, Parnell batted all the afternoon', and Bcored 306 runs for the loss of only five wickets. No. J wicket at E'den Park was used-for ther 1 first time this season, and although it was > not conducive to'fast scoring, it gave little I assistance to the bowlers. 1 Hay and Whiielaw opened quietly and a good partnership /seemed likely to' .'develbp" when Hay was caught behind by Pickmere I for 16. Vivian, who followed, scored much " more freely/than Whitelaw and dealt more ■ aggressively with the bowling than any of tlie later batsmen. .He scored three foura loff Bush in one over, but shortly afterward hit up an easy catch, which waac accepted by Haden. M. Wallace was dropped by Garrard in the slips off the.- first bsul, and he was very subdued for some time, .his ecore,. standing at one for over a_ quarter 'pi an hour. Rain, which had set in about half an hour previously, .caused a postponement of play at 3.30. , . -On the resumption the batsmen settled 'down to a valfiiablft Whitelaw had been scoring: slowly, although ,he made some delightful sliots both belupu. and. in front of the wicket. Like Wallace,, however, he gave several chances early, m ws innings: With the score at 130, both bats-, men began to make their placements more successfully and the score mounted somewhat ; more rapidly, Whitelaw brought V? after being nearly four hours at the wickets, and then opened out somewhat,, scoring/ f * the only sir of the ■ He tip a catch to, Sutherland in the slips, Bush's bowling.
