The Follow on. -
The follow on was enforced and Moseley went in first with Wright but in the third over he was taken at, the wicket off Fry, (2-1-1.) Stephenson joined Wright and both | batsmen obviously set themselves to wear the bowling down, and trent- ed "Christian and Fry with great respect. At ten, a "curious incident occurred. One of Christian's kicked up and hit Stephenson somewhere on the armi, wrist or glove. Wyatt fell forward and gathered the ball, obviously thinking it was a chance. No one else seemed very sure and Stephenson 'started to go, and then hesitated. Finally the umpire gave him not out. He celebrated this by, carting the next, ball, round "to square leg in a spectacular way! Masson relieved Christian but a couple of fours came in his first

The Stand Broken. Reynolds went on and Boumphry sent the eighty up with a late cut, a beauty past extra cover. Tho wicket at this time seemed to be popping a bit, especially at the Law. Courts end. At 90 Stephenson who had for some time been playing a bit too soon for some of them lifted one of Reynold's 'slower balls and was caught and, bowled. (96-3-13.) A very fine innings played in a most orthodox style. Bennett came in and it started to rain quite hard.. Beumphrey pushed one straight past Fry for four and then a deep Gold was put out, a step, which might have been taken.before. A few runs later tiffin was taken. The score was over the century though through a clerical error only ninety was on board.
After Timin,
When the game resumed things did not go quite so wel! for the Navy. Boumphrey completed his fifty and the score was 121 when he was caught at short coverpoint by Fry off Musson for an excellent fifty-nine, most of which came from powerful wrist-shots on the off side. A fine innings and a very pleasant one to watch. Four runs later, Baker was 1.b.w, trying to hook a short one, and Sillitos after a four was taken in the slips by Wyatt. Both wickets fell to Musson who was bowling very well after lunch. (129-6-4) Bennett, who had kept his end up for some time was then taken in the slips for ten; off Rey. nolds.
Saving the Innings Defeat. At this period things did not look too promising for saving the innings' defeat, but Stanley hung on to the slack while Laalett played very nice ericket and the score mounted to 183 before the eighth wicket fell, and the danger was averted. The ninth wicket put on eleven runs and the last, twelve. The innings closed for 178, leaving the Army thirty runs to get to win. Musson's five for forty-seven was a good perfor- mance, as about twenty, were taken off him before tiffin when he had not taken a wicket.
