SYDNEY, March 5. The weather -was fine and warm for the f<w>nd day's play i n the fifth test match between South Africa and Australia. The wicket was assisting the bowters when Bardsley and Whitty reeumed batting. Several maiden over, were bowled. Whitty had increased hie score to 13 when he was brilliantly caught by Noune at deep square-leg off Llewellyn. Tnunper opened with three fours, and 300 appeared in 223 minutes. Shortly after Bardsley tipped one back to Sinclair. He had scored 94 in 137 minutes, the total including nine fours. Obviously he had not recovered from his injury, his hand shaking after hard strokes. Hie innings was cbancelesß.

Hill scored one, and then gave a chance of etumping, but the ball kept low, and SherweU failed to secure the wicket It was the first opportunity Sherwel] had missed in Sydney. Trumper, who had made 31 in good style, stepped out to a big off break, and Schwarz bowled him. He hit five fours.

Two balls later Armstrong was caught by Pearse off Schwarz, before scoring. In the next over Schwarz captured Hill's wicket. Hβ stepped o ut, missed, and Sberwell stumped him like lightning. He repeated this performance with Cotter in the following over, and again in the next with Ranaford. He gave the best display of wicket-keeping seen here for a long time.

Schwarz's average to-day was fire wickets for six runs. He was bowling with a tremendous off break, which had a leg action, and seemed to paralyse the batsmen.

Zulch and Pearse opened for South Africa to the bowling of Cotter and Whitty. The bitter bowled Pearse before scoring. After six overs with Hordern bowling, Zulch jumped out to a googlie and fell, being stumped. Fqulkner and Nourse, partners in the last match, then got together, and scoring became slow. Armstrong relieved Kelleway, and with the fifth ball bowled Nourse, who had batted 33 minutes for 3.

Faulkner's 50 took 75 minutes to make, and a few minutes later he was bowled by Armstrong. He hit six fours.

Sinclair, who attempted to liven things, pulled one of Hordern's googlies, and Ransford made a brilliant catch near the boundary after the ball had swerved several yards. Hordern greatly puzzled, even the wicket-keeper not knowing which I way the ball was going to break, and he was frequently beaten. Snooke, when 18, jumped out to Hordern, swiped, and missing, was bowled. Strieker batted very elowly, and was in 50 minutes for 19, and then attempted to drive one from Hordern, which he lifted to Macartney at mid-off. Schwarz came next, and received an ovation for his bowling. He scored 13 runs before going out. He drove one hard, uid though it passed Cotter, the latter ran, made a wonderful stop, and returning, hit the wicket. Llewellyn was next victim. He batted soundly for 24, and then tipped one from Kelleway, which the wicket-keeper held. Pegler made none, and then Sherwell skying the next ball from Whitty, and Bardsley catching it at square-leg, the team was all out, wanting four runs to provent a follow on. Hill sent them in again. Sberwell and Zolch opened to the bowling of Cotter and Armstrong. The latter beat Sherwell at 14. Zulch and Pegler played out time. The fielding was good throughout. The attendance numbered about 24,000. The scores are aa follow:— AUSTRALIA.—First Innings.
