Eventually tho umpire re-examined the ground, and ordered a start to be made. The bowlers got a lot of work on the ball, and the batßmen in Tying to forco the score were ncaly all caught ou\ Tho third wicket fell with a total of 72; the remainder, however, collapsed. The fielding of tho visitors was good, especially Graham, Bruce, and Trumblo.
