The teams lined out as day afternoon, The weather certain- y did not look promising with heavy clouds round the Peak and the Kow. loon hills. However, the Captains decided to risk it, and Hancock who won the toas took first innings.

No sooner had the opening bata men, Hayward and Brace, taken their positions at the wicket, than drizzle commenced, lasted for about a quarter-of-an-heur and, ma suddenly as it came, it disappeared and left the players to enjoy their game.

Parker and Vallack opened the bowling and Hayward soon started with a fine hit to the boundary. Contrary to the usual practice the pitch-which was soft was in a line with the Club and Murray Parade Ground.

Meanwhile the fielders were kept busy stopping some hot shots and just after 3 p.m. when forty was registered Brace was caught and bowled by Vallack for 97. Ramsay hit the first ball he received to the boundary. The second was served likewise, but afterwards he treated the bowling with respect. Just after 30 went up Hayward was enught by Yallack off Parker for 90 runs, and soon after Ramsay was caught by Wales off Madar. The four next batsmen were very quickly dismissed. Quick hit cut merely but just when it looked as if he was going to give the bowlers a bad time he was caught at the wicket. Thorp played too late at a ball from Goodwin which got his off stump; Lirut, Musson was caught for 1, and Sayer after hitting a brilliant six was well taken by Fincher in the man out from
