& Poor Start.
-The Nivy opoiled with Squance and Nash to Fry, and Williams, at the Naval Yard end. The start was induspicious as Squance was bowled by a long hop, which he tried to book, at soven, while Nash played on to Williams at the same total. Edwards, who succoeiled, had a life at second slip, but after scoring twelve he was nicely taken by Dowar Durio off the fast bowler from a skied catch. (30–3–12.)
A Fine Recovery.
At this period the Navy sat up and hogan to take notice. Glnes after a råthår sbdký štart got going, And Barrett rendered excellent sup- bort. Both were lucky, as Glass was dropped off a skier from Fry with his score at ten, and Barrett had a life at
