The light; was tailing quickly when the Wairoa innings was drawing to a close, and this no doubt had its influence, on the course of events, but there was not doubt of Poverty Bay’s superiority in both batting and bowling strength. The Poverty Bay side batted first, C. Dow and J. Hensley opening. The pair stayed together until 28 runs were on the board, when Heasley put his leg too far across to one of Baird’s deliveries, and gave place to Joe Scholium. Dow and Scholium became well set, and carried Hie score to 122 before their partnership was broken, the latest-comer being caught by Jones behind tlie stumps off’ H, Hutchinson when he had scored 36. J. G. Robertson failed to survive his first over, being stumped by Junes after scoring a, single, but 0. Fraser stayed longer. Dow was finally dismissed by McGregor, who took a. fairly easy eat.eli oil’ Baird. The score stood at, 138 for four when Lockett .joined Fraser, and these two carried it, along to 179 before any further wicket fell, Lockett, being clean bowled by Baird with 32 to his credit. James joined Fraser, and had 10 against his name when the score passed the double century, and a declaration ■ was decided on, Fraser being 26 not out at; this stage. The innings was declared for 201, with live wickets in hand. Wairoa’s opening pair were McGregor and Mi. Hutchinson, neither of whom managed to reach double figures, O ’Connor taking both wickets very shortly after the opening of the strike. White and McDonald did better, and the third wicket cost 23 runs. H. Hutchinson was next, and stayed well, making 25, the top score for the AVairoa side, before belling caught by O’Connor off Heasley, and after that Hoslop was the only member of the visiting team to achieve double figures, contributing a valuable 10 at a critical stage'of the innings. The failing light bothered the batsmen who succeeded him, and the last three wickets cost only eight runs. The game did not go into the second innings.
