Hunter, who carried his bat for 50, the score reached 129, other useful contributions being J. Stallard 15, Hann 14 and Wedgwood 14. C. Gatton, the Wanderers captain, took five wickets for 31. After lunch Stratford began badly, two wickets falling for 18. Gatton and Hill, however, brought the score to 67, the former carrying his bat through the innings for a steady 37. The total reached 131, two runs ahead of the visitors, Collins 15 and extras 14 being the next best contributors. E.
