It was Martin M'Intyre's day with a vengeance , for he knocked the Southern wickets downin their first innings like nine - pins , and besides , was premier amongthe Northern batsmenonthe side of the North, securing 77 runs in his second term with the bat. Jupp went in with Mr. W. G. Grace, and went right through the first innings of the South, even to the extent of carrying out his bat for 50 runs.
