Navy's Hard Task.
At 2.30 p.m. the Navy entered on their difficult task of makine 213 runs to win on the fourth innings, although the wicket seemed to be playing excellently and it was on the cards they might get it.
Venn and Salter opened to Erskine (Naval Yard end) and Gifford. After some quiet play a really fine ball from the former took Salters middle stump. 8-1-3. Things then went badly for the Navy, for a time. Cecil tried to turn one to leg but mis hit it and was taken in the slips. Venn after a life was finely taken low down in the box. 1-4-3-7
