THE ASHBURIAN 15 received, a fast good length and was clean bowled. Oppe then joined Southam and both batsmen showed some very attractive batting before Oppe was caught at mid-on by Stevenson. Smellie followed, after giving a chance in his first over he settled down and batted confidently, until well caught by Stevenson at long-leg. Southam played across a straight ball from Salter and was bowled. He had played a valuable innings of 58 without giving a chance. Dewar and Wilson were in together and ran some characteristically daring runs. MacBrien, Beardmore and Bonnar failed to score and the innings closed for 121. L. C. C. went in again and there being nothing to lose adopted hitting tactics. Salter and Johnson collared the bowling and in spite of numerous changes of bowlers 48 was up before Johnson was caught by Southam. Minnion and Stevenson did not give much trouble, but Ralph followed the example of Salter, who was still in, and remained undefeated until the innings was declared closed when he had completed his 50. Ashbury were left an hour to play. Any hopes that L. C. C. had of disposing of them for a small score and so pulling the game out of the fire were soon dispelled when Gausden and Southam wisely decided to touch nothing that was not on the wicket. Nine maiden overs were bowled before Gausden decided that he would like to try the other end and so ran a single. He was bowled in the next over, Irvin went in. He started carefully but his patience was soon exhausted and he hit Bradley for fours off two successive balls. It then started to rain and stumps were drawn. Southam carried his bat, he had batted for forty-five minutes without touch- ing a loose ball and deserves much credit for his restraint. This innings of Southam ' s was just as valuable as his previous one of 58. Had his wicket fallen easily there is no knowing what the rest of the team might have done. They might have played out time; on the other hand it was the end of the day, with L. C. C. encouraged by success, the wickets might have fallen quickly, and a game which had been considered won, thereby lost.

Lower Canada won the toss and took the innings. Salter and Minnion faced Wilson and Oppe. The bowling was steady, and with the fielding side well on their toes, runs were difficult to make. In Oppe ' s third over he clean bowled Minnion. Stevenson ' s wicket fell in the next over to Wilson. Salter was batting with confidence and scoring ofif the few loose balls that were sent down. Kaye, who followed Stevenson, was completely deceived by Oppe and failed to score. He was followed by Johnson. With Salter play- ing carefully at the other end, Johnson began an aggressive attack on the bowling. Wilson was replaced by Fauquier. The change was immediately successful, Fauquier bowling Salter in his first over and getting Ralph L.B.W. with the next ball. Johnson was well taken at the wicket in Oppe ' s next over and then a procession started, Fauquier clean bowled Willis, Bradley was caught by Dewar off Oppe and McCuaig was stumped off Oppe by Irvin. The fourth wicket fell at 25 the seventh at 25 and the ninth at 27. Then came a stand between Stewart and Carsley. Stewart playing a forcing game and Carsley contenting himself with keeping his wicket intact. Stewart was finally bowled by Fauquier for a very useful 16. Southam and Gausden opened Ashbury ' s innings to the bowl- ing of Salter and Ralph. Gausden was first to go, through his prevalent habit of putting his legs in front of a straight ball. Irvin joined Southam and was also out L.B.W. but not before the L.C.C. total had been passed. Fauquier played back to the first ball he
