Keen took Gregory's' place when Belfit who had put 9 together was bowled out by Lloyd, Keen being soon disposed of by Jackson for a duck«egg. Grant lmm and Aitken were the next two m, Grantham making a good hit for 2, when his partner m trying to steal run was run out with a duck-egg to his name.

After a short intermission for lunch the | Falmerstonians went m for their second innings, Eroupa and LloydJiandling the bats | first. Kroupa made a good hit for which 1 he took a rnn,but|injtrying to steal another, ara out Lloyd who' had not broken his duck- | egg. Jackson taking Lloyd's place com- | menced bringing op the score when Eroupa who had made 5 was howled by Seen. | Upon Hunter joining Jackson it was thought that some good play would be witnessed, but the former was unfortunately ■tumped by Nicholas after adding 3 to his score.

Wright ! being the last man, then wend m, and just I succeeded m breaking his sjrg, when Feasey haying scored 3 was clean bowled by Nicholas. This closed the second innings of the Palmerstonians which with .the extras amounted to 56. ' The Feilding team being a little behind the Palmerstonians m their first innings revolted to pull it up m their second, the Captain, therefore, sent Robinson and Worsfold first to the wickets. The former haying commenced the score by makings, : his partner was bowled by Lloyd after adding 1- to it. Nicholas taking Worsfold's | place added to the score m no time, when Robinson was caught out by Feaiey after making another 3, Grantham joined Nicholas, who was run out by Jackson, leaving another Bto bis score.
