Billings, with his high delivery, was troubling both batsmen and only to had 'been made off him. Mactaggart's second ball was disastrous to Lanning, who in attempting to drive, sent it to Green. Seore 117-3-40. Lanning had been batting for two hours and five minutes and his cricket had been more marked by its care thon its brilliancy, but his score was invanmble to his side and he well deserved the applause he received.
Putter was hext on the state and played out the pret. Price was now well set and seemed play Mactaggart with ease, and a drive right along the ground to the screen brought 120 up, and registering 50 to his individual score. Potter was steadily stonewalling but hit a hard one to Green, who took it ably. Price was slashing at anything off the wicket, causing the field to spread after coming in when Potter had the
stroke.

Both batsmen were driving Mactaggart, hat only ones resulting, while Billings was bowling on the wicket and Whitley went his last was a maiden, .on at the top in place of Mactaggart and was cut by Potter for a single and driven by Price for the same, and again by Potter for four.

Billings was bowling as well or better than before tiffin, and Price doing his uttermost could not get him the wicket and heating the younger Lanning repeatedly.

The 22nd Bombay tried to enliven matters from the band stand, for in all goodness the cricket was as slow as a funeral. Sharpe was apparently beating the bats and yet they stood him off and Price would occasionally drive him to the railings. Stanion returned stiff drive to Sharpe, but it went to the screen. Lannings Jr. was getting set and giving evidence that once he got his eye in properly he would stone-wall as long as Price could hit. Mactaggart went on in place of Sharpe and Price drove him to the boundary from his first ball and ditto to leg for a four, bringing 190 up. Billings first two in his next over got past Lanning, but he sent the next to square leg for one and if Kerr had returned sharply Price would have been run out. But Price was doomed as he landed out at Billings' next which clean bowled him. Score 193-7-93. Price had been batting about 2 hours for his 93 and had compiled his score by bold, agressive cricket.

A maiden to Potter Mackenzie drove one from Mann to square leg and there' WAS no doubt as
to whether it would reach the railings or not, but Mana had his revenge as the next was driven to Farbridge at mid-wicket who took it safely. Score 56-6-4, Whitley was next ande ngineered Potters over by good luck only. Stanion took the ball from Mann at the City end. Barkshire was to all appearance well set but playing very carefully though the fielding, at all times good, was sometimes of a dazzling description. Whitley put 63 up with a drive off Stanion and stumps were drawn for the day.
addition on the second floor there is a fine, well lighted department which can be used either as a private dining, concert, or meeting room. Perhaps one of the most import-nt sections is the lavatories, and here Mr. Ruttonjee bas been especially careful to secure everything of the very best. They are flushed by an automatic sluicing tank and appear perfect in every detail. In fact, the sanitation of the whole building has been carried out as near perfection as possible.
