The Blues are in an overwhlemingly strong position after bowling the Tigers out for just 57 on the opening day and then piling on 8/174 in reply.
Mark Reichelt and Luke Patis each took three wickets as Newtown were bundled out in just 24 overs.
Brett Wrigley was the only Newtown batsman to reach double figures, scoring 14 before falling victim to Reichelt.
Macquarie lost 4/9 to start their innings before a 109-run partnership betwen Justin Gavin and Jonathon Blizzard gave them the lead and some breathing space.
Some late wickets from Newtown dragged them back into the contest but they face a long, hard slog if they are to get anything from the game on day two.

RSL-Colts are in a strong position to claim first-innings points and possibly press for an outright decision after a dominant first day of their match against CYMS at Lady Cutler 4.
Batting first, Colts were dismissed for 149 with Nathan Jones’ 54 the top score.
Brian Carroll once again bowled well for CYMS, taking 3/32 off 10 overs but the good work in the field was undone by the batsmen, who collapsed to be 7/40 when stumps was called.
Ryan Davies finished the day with 5/14 off nine overs while Will Wolter bagged the other two wickets.

Souths will need a determined performance if they are to gain anything from their two-day match with Rugby, which started at Lady Cutler 2 last Saturday.
Rugby won the toss and elected to bat first but were dismissed for a disappointing 132, with Gary Goodman top-scoring with 30.
At one stage they were 1/66 however a six-wicket haul from Joel Johnston helped Souths get themselves back into the contest.
But the momentum quickly shifted back in Rugby’s favour as Bart Goodman and Jason Coyle each took three wickets late in the day to leave Souths 6/27 at the end of the day.
