On resuming, Victoria's wickets fell cheaply, Macartney taking five wickets for 8 runs. Mailey took two for 53, and Gray three for 33. Victoria's first innings closed for 125, in reply to New South Wales' Bcore of 160. Fremantle made 13 rune.—(A. and N.Z. Cable.) (Received 8.80 a.m.) MELBOURNE, this day.
