Reese accompanied Taylor to tha wickets, but was clean bowled in Barstow's first over. Robinson and Taylor made a stand, Robinson scored rapidly, and had the honour of hoisting the century, but, becoming over-eager, he went out to Downey and was stumped. Taylor appeared to be set when he returned a ball to Downey, who accepted the catch. Sandman jumped out at a tempting thing and was stumped. Bennett played a brilliant innings, but had the misfortune to go out leg before \vicket to Barstow. Tha scoro had been increased to 161 when Patrick, who played sure cricket, .was caught by Rowe at leg off Barstow. Queensland opened their second innings badly, Fennelly being clean bowled oy, Robinson with the first ball. Farquhar and Rowe succumbed to Reese, and three wickets were down for seven runs. Prout and Marshall checked the rout, and tha fourth wicket fell at 51. The fielding was very good, Hickmott particularly being brilliant, and tho bowling was difficult. At 71 the fifth wicket fell, and two others went down before the scoro was increased, Sandman securing three wickets within a few minutes. Queensland's chances of winning were considerably diminished by the fino fielding of the .Arisitors. A smart return by Reese resulted in Barstow being run out.
