The weather was line. inc Derby team included Townsend, Alderman, Smith, Worthington, Mitchell and Copson, who nave all coached or toured in the Dominion.

Page snowed shrewdness in his slow lo medium-pace bowling, his victims being the leading oatsmen. Vivian cleverly flighted his slows into the breeze, snowing his most impressive form of the tour. Four or nve wickets would not have been a nattering reward. A trouoiCaomc partnership for the eighth wiexet was broken by a typically swift throw-m by Wailace. The crowd of ouou saw the tourists troubled by probably the strongest county attacx in England. i*.err batted patiently and Wallace brightly. but all the players were uncertain of the breaks of Mitchell till me advent of Page, who looked as if he might have saved the situation if he hau only found a partner to stay.
