Pollitt, and at six o ’clock, the time arranged for drawing the stumps, these two gentlemen had put together 391 between them. Every description of bowling was tried, but without success. The hitting o f Mr. S. IT. Meek, who made no fewer than six sixes, five of them being clean out of the ground, was brilliant. Mr. Pollitt deserves great credit, as he played with a very awkward w und on his left arm. Mr. S. H. Meek, not out ............................ ..................... 192 Mr. F. C.
