MACLARENS ENGLISH CRICKET TEAM.

V.ACLAREX'S TEAM v. NEW SOUTH WALES.

SYDNEY, November 26

The c/icket match between Maclaren's English cricketers and a New South VlVics representative team was resinned to<lay. The morning was extremely hot, bat after lunch the wind .swung round to a cool quarter, and the lot of the fieldsmen was rendered more tolerable.

Poidevin and Iredale began with the same freedom displayed yesterday. They mastered the bowling completely. Quaif© was put 00, niakins the eighth

bowler tried, but the batsmen kept goiug merrily till luncheon, Iredale batting more in his old-time, free, clean itylePoideviu played clean, hard siroker.The recovery of tke New South Wj>l° 3 team after so bad a start was one ol the finest that has occurred on die ground. Immediately after lunch M'Gahey, at short leg, snapped up Iredale ofl Jones. Poidevin received ?n ovation on topping Maclaren's He strained hi* leg, mid C. Girpgorjf had to nm for him. Clarke,, the liisfc matj in, scored 10 beiore he was out •eg before 7/icket. Requiring 379 vm.% «o win, the Eng< j«limen commenced thefr second inning*. Ivi'Gahoy ?ud Maclaren began the task. The former scored a couple, stepped outf to Clarke, and spooned the ball softly to Gregory at silly point. Hay war 3 joined hii cr.ptain. Steady play brought the score to 82, when Maclaren narrowly, oscaped being run out owing to a smar'; return by Trumpei. The cjnhrry appeared after an hour and forty minutes' play, both batsmen -hitting splendidly. Hayward was just ovei the licH'-centiK'j; when Clarke got him .vith a beauty* Very slow play followed Quaife's &p poarance. The latter was r.i the Triek^to 22 minutes before obtaining a single. Clarke had* the batsmen lied vp 1 . Quaife tipped Howerl into Kelly's \nnd r . at the wickets. Maclaren, who was. playing Clarke very gingerly, <anotj oils back, which the bowler accepted. Tyldedey and Jono?. played ovi tiir-E.* , November 27.

The weather was fine to-day, but beautifully cool, when the match between Maclaren's English team and New 1 South Wales was continued. The wiekeb wp'j fiery and was crumbling a little. The Englishmen began badly, Cla:ks getting Jones and Jessop without chei? adding to the score. Lilley partnered Tyldesley, and these players altered the complexion of the game. Both bit ou'j all round, playing Clarke freely, Lilley, making some fine strokes, and hitting three fourers off Clarke in succession. Tyldesley at 46 gave a difficult chance in the slips, which Clarke was not quick enough to take. Lilley had a life a little later at HowelPs hands. A change of bowling to Trumper and Hopkins' proved expensive, and How.ell and Clarke came on again. The latter with his :Srsb ball tempted TyTdesley, who skied on& to Trumper at mid-off. The partnership had added 89 runs. Braund joined Lilley. After lunch Lilley scored 5, and Trnmpevcame on in place of Clarke. Lilley lfted one back to Trumper in his second oveiv Gunn followed with a brief but inglorious innings. He poked feebly <xt one frou* 1 Howeli, which scattered his wicket* 1 Braund was playing soundly as Barnc&v. the last player, came in. Braund hacS knocked up id when Howell got his wicket.

The innings thus closed for 325, leaving the New South Wales team winners by 53 runs. The following are the scores : — New South Wales. First innings 283 Second Innings.
