The day was beautifully fine, though a trifle hot for the players, and the wicket seemed all in favour of rapid scoring. The Cricket Club winning the toss made only a moderate beginning, for three wickets fell for 38 runs. W. H. Moule, and Mann, however, then became partners and "they proceeded to vigorously punish the bowling, Moule's cutting was fay clean and decided as ever, and there was no sign of that rashness to which the latter part of the season sometimes encourages him. Mann gave one. chance, just before he was out, but otherwise his innings was very praiseworthy one, his hitting being vigorous and well-timed. The partnership put on 80 runs. St. Croix also indulged in some scoring and whilst he and Moule were together 48 runs were At a few minutes after five the $.C.C. innings was declared closed for 170. In the time available it was not possible for the Race Club to win the match, but their representatives nevertheless gave a capital account of themselves, Firth and Darby foreing the scoring after the innings had opened somewhat tamely. Seven bowlers were tried whilst they were at the wickets, but without effecting a separation. At a quarter to seven stumps and the match were drawn, the score standing as under Sabb, b. Darbj HE.
