Auktiu, who faced the bowling of Downes I and Baker. On the resumption of play, E. J. Auatin was run out without increasing his score. J. Hawaway followed, and at 828 wm badly missed by Hope. They continued to score fresly, until at 248 Q. Austin stepped out of bis crease, and the ball rebounding off Haydon's pads on to the wicked be was dismissed. Few thought that with such a large score to wipe off the Grange had any cbaoca of winning, but at cricket a game is never lost till it is won, and as the game now stands tbe Grange have » good chance of winning. B.iker and Johnston were the first to aopear to do battle for the North End team. Patient and determined play waa tbo order of the day. Despite the bowling of Hopa and Fisher tae tens mounted slowly on the score board. At 40 Austin replaced Fisher, but all bowlers seemed alike to the batsmen. At 60 Sprsggon took the ball from Hope, but still no separation wai effected, both batsmen batting in perfect j style. Clajton then replaced Austin, but »U to no effect, 80, 90, and 100 appearing, the latter being greeted with applause. Tbe scoring etili went on, the batsmen keeping abreast of one another. At 122 Johnston gave a sharp one in the slips to Q. Austin, which he accepted in floe style. The partnership is the best and most serviceable that has been seen in a Cup contest for m*ny a day. Johnston retired with 56 t-> his credit, and received quita an ovation on his return to tbe pavilion. Downes joined Baker, but tbe latter did not stay long aiter his late partner, for at 136 he was bowled by. Fisher. He had compiled no less than 68 runs, his inningi having li«o almost perfect, not having given a possible chance. He also received a good round of applsume. Best joined Downes, and these two started to pile on tha runs as the bowlers were getting tired, and so were the fielders, as 5 were inn for on« of Best's hifs. Dowoes made several splendid cuts to the boundary, while Best hit to leg in good style. At 194- Best wa« caught off the last ball of the day.
