It was not until aixty-two runs had been added, in less than an hour that Owen Hughes went on and Dewar Durie to mistimo his second ball, with the result be brought off a simple catel and bowl. Roid changed over to bowl at the Naval Yard end, but runk continued to come, and the hundred went up. With Beck on again, the newcomer, Musson, was deceived by faster one and was 1.b.y.
