The Picture you've waited for Last Wicket Stand Proves Profitable; Elliott Bowls Well After a very indifferent start yesterday on the S.C.C. small ground, Ewo managed to retire with the quite respectable total of 114 against the Asiatic Petroleum Company in the second hong game of the season. The game will be continued at 5 p.m. this afternoon when the A.P.C. take their innings.
Nine Ewo wickets were down for a mere 77 when Ward was partnered by Tremlett and so well did they hit the bowling around the field that they put on no less than 37—the best partnership of the evening—before Ward succumbed to Elliott. This addition to the score proved most opportune and it may yet be sufficient to win the match.
Messrs. Jardines representatives started very badly, foür players being sent back with only 17 on the board but the advent of Skyrme altered matters slightly. Hitting out strongly the last mentioned bat scored 25 of the 26 added for the fifth wicket b: fore he was caught. In the meanwhile Hutchison had played carefully but after scoring only 18, he too, fell a victim to the guiles of Elliott The tail-enders did little until Ward and Tremlett came together The latter reached the tape four times, while Ward, playing slowly hit three fours. Nevertheless they The Royal Plate, run today at Newbury over a distance of one mile and a quarter, was won by Lord Glanely's Llandaff.
H. E. Crum's Port Royal was second, while Mrs. T.
Lens owy Owl was third.
Llandaff won by four lengths, while the same distance separated second and third.
The winner was quoted at 9 to 4. Port Royal was quoted at 100 to 8, and Snowy Owl at 100 to 6.—Reuter
