The Garrison batted first but still

showed signs of being short of practice, as they gave a very poor display, apart from a gallant stand by Private Lake and Sapper Good- year at the end. It must be borne in mind, however, that the Brigade bowling is considerably above the average. The ninth wicket tell at lunch time and it was decided to Plase the innings, in view of the fact that only about two hours' play was possible afterwards,

During this period, however, it was made, clear that the Garrisor bowling was weaker than that of their opponents, and also that the latter had rome pretty useful per formers with the willow. Usher, Tyringham. Graham and Melsome were among the best bats, and when the last wicket fell on the stroke of four o'clock they had collected 182.
