Larwood was howling exteLentiy. the ball mostly keeping very low, but rising occasionally hail .high After several changes the baiting brightened up. Andrews secured many runs, guiding Hie ball skillfully through the slips at the expense of Barrett. Eaciiig Richmond and Flint, Andrews increased his score rapidly, mainly by strong off drives. Woodfull was very slow in opening, and was in 40 minutes before he reached double figures. Andrews began to lash out at everything, and was easily taken at cover by Barrett, after batting for 100 minutes. His score included thirteen fours. The board then read 502 for six wickets. Oldfield had a narrow escape from being run out early in bis innings owing to a misunderstanding with Woodfull. Barrail bowled many wides. Lilley, behind the wickets, was a- bright spot in the field.

After liapf an hour Whysal! tamely returned a full toss lo Mailcy. Lillcv played ngressivclv but rarely passed the field. ’ Mailcy howled an ex collcnt variety, but the paucity of runs was line linin' to the half-hearted batting than to the quality of the bowling. Ravioli and Turner livened the game up till the latter was smartly stumped by Oldfield. Runs came slowly, chiefly at the expense of Mailcy. Grimmett, was placed ensile hut always to a well-set (idtl. l’avlon and Staples won ml up the day hv driving .Mailcy five times to the boundary in two overs. GREGORY* UNABLE TO BOWL.
