Manaill, G. Mansill, and Pope all lent valuable assistance. Taylor bowled well for the winners, securing seven wickets for 54. Frith, who was so successful in the first innings, proved rather expensive, his one wicket costing 34 runs. The fielding of the Phoenix team was again good, and Ogier is deserving of special mention for his fine catch at point, which dismissed Brown.

Black lock and Robinson being too straight for their Opponents, of whom C. Tavlor (with 15) was the only one to reach double figures.

Again the fancy goods mou .went forth to achieve glory, but this time Robinson and Disher denied it to them, their second innings only producing 44, C. Taylor again being to the fore with IS. This only left the sofbgoods 53 to win, and with all speed they commenced to compile this number, but when 36 had been recorded Taylor mercilessly scattered the stumps of the last man, Disher contributing 11 to the total.
