Our thanks to Arthur Haygarth for collecting the information and to Roger Heavens for providing this scorecard which was first published in Arthur Haygarth's Cricket Scores and Biographies Volume 16. Copies of the book can be obtained from http://booksoncricket.net . Additions or corrections to this scorecard would be gratefully received.
Source notes that "On Saturday (the match commencing early) only three wickets fell for 384 runs and on Monday the innings lasted till 20 minutes past 6 o'clock. Horan was about 10 hours at the wickets, (3 on Saturday and 7 on Monday) scoring at the slow rate of about 25 an hour, using great patience and impregnable defence, though dash, brilliancy and hard clean hitting were wanting. He gave, it was stated, no chance. It was said that the innings of East Melbourne was the longest on record."
