With but four and Lady May. on the board Lanning was dismissed off White, in attempting to turn a straight one to leg. Runs were few and far betweek, White and Christian keeping the bat largely the defensive. Ollefdesgen effected soveral powerful strokes, but his placing was at fault, and they only yielded singles. A tucky smick to the boundary from that batsman was followed by a pretty stroke nearly to the pavilion rails. Muriel, who partnered | Ollerdessen, was missed by Christian at point off White, and then with his next ball the latter caught and bowled him, the second wicket falling at 26. With Crockwell in, Ollerdossen pulled a full toss from White to the rails and a hit to the boundary off Christian brought up the half-century, which had occupied about 40 minutes. Both men were careful to pick out the right ball to hit, and each brought off some good strokes With the score-board signalling 90, Ollord en was missed by long-on off White, but the chance was a most difficult one. This life, however, did not avail him much, for Dempsey. after changing ends, clean bowled him with his first ball from the city end. The batsman, though still suffering from his injured ankle, hud batted most praiseworthily for an hour and 29 minutes, his score of 47 being largely composed of straight drives and pulls. Three wickets, were down for 93 when Anderson came in, and he quickly sent up the 100 with a couple of good hits, the achievement having taken an hour and a half. Runs came steadily for a while, but at 136 Anderson was bowled in having a "go" at Dempsey, Quayle filling the vacancy. After having his stumpa shaved by a weird delivery from Dempsey, Cruckwell completed his half-century, which had taken him an hour and 25 minutes to compile.
