AS the day advanced and the competitors evinced
o decided determination to continue the match q
goodly concourse Of people had assembled upon the
swashy ground. 1t will be remembered that on
Wednesday, as previously reported, the sons OF the
hero OF Cappadocia lost all their wickets In their
first inning for score of sixty-six, while Messrs.
Grace and Ottoway, on behalf Of the Britons, had
succeeded in making 1O2 runs when the stumps
were drawn for the day.
Yesterday these two gentlemen resumed their
respective places at the wickets, George Wright
bowling from the upper end and Brewster rom the
lower. After couple of overs, In which he only
added single "notch" to his record, Grace slipped
q ball into Brewster's ready digts, and ,r-
