SECOND MATCH OF THE TOUR. Played at Newlands, Cape Town, on Dec. 31, Jan. 2 and 3. Lord Hawke’s team won by 106 runs. The visitors went in first. M itchell’s innings of 31 included three fine hits for six. The beginning of the innings was a good deal more promising than the end, and at lunch the score was 84 for tw o wickets, Warner still being in. Western Province lost 8 wickets for 64 before stumps were drawn, and on the follow ing Monday brought their total to 104, Horwood, with 45, being the top scorer. Warner again played well in the second innings of Lord Hawke’s team, and though most of the men failed, H aigh played a determined innings. With 232 to make, the home team lost 2 wickets for 20, and on the Tuesday were all disposed of for 125, of which Reid claimed 49 by very steady play. The fielding of the home team was decidedly good.
