The wicket was in perfect condition, but tho cricket fell below what such wickets should have produced. Gregory won" the toss, and decided to bat. _ i Trnmper arid Hopkins gave an excellent display, the former hitting freely. During nis partnership with Noble, the English bowling was heavily punished, Gunn's first over giving the pair 10 runs. . Poidevin compiled his score somewhat laboriously, and lost his wicket, with a rotten stroke. , Trumper's -innings ■» contained one ' chance towards its end. 'He eventually lost his wicket by jplaying forward tb a tempting one from Braund. A good 'deal of interest centred in Clarke (the North Sydney colt); who knocked up his score attractively. Play was generally tedious. The fielding of the Englishmen waa fine, and kept the runs down. Jessop .was particularly brilliant. Hopkins made' the hit of the day into thepavilion. - When Howell (the last man) partnered Kelly, both went in for hard hittin?. Howell knocked up his Bcore in dashing style.
