He disposed of Treweek (caught at mid-off) and Penny with jiis two first halls. This was the commencement of a rout, wicket falling after wicket with almost, monotonous regularity. Judd opened the visitors' scoring 'account by a mice shot past point, but the next ball he was beaten by Bernau. Beechey, after scoring a couple, was the next to go. foeing very smartly stumped by Furrie ■off the College crack's trundling.
