Carson came next, but was caught by Robertson, who was fielding as sub., off Lockett—B—6l—o. With only two wickets to go and 56 to get U.H.S.’s chances of winning were few, but by dint of careful playing Ellis and Gato brought the score to 101 for nine, when Cata was bowled by Lockett—--9—lol—lo. He had played a useful innings and had held his end up while . Ellis scored. Martin, the last man, j partnered Ellis in .a bold attempt to get the required 16 runs in less than ten minutes. Ellis played well, and Martin, despite the strain upon him, held his end up excellently. Excitement was tense. In the last over 10 were required to win, when by a smart return Martin was nearly run out. On . the sixth bowl of the last over Ellis skied one to Lockett, who took a good catch', which won the match for City, and incidentally ensures their winning the senior cup for this season.
