LUSH AGAIN.

N.S.W. V. ENGLAND.

Marylebone Requires 125 to Win, For Three Wickets. BARNETT SCORES A CENTURY. (By .T. n. llOßßS.—CopyrJjrlit in all countries. Reproduction In whole or in part forbidden.). (Kpcolvpd U.JtO a.m.) KYJJNKY, this day. The English erickelers resumed their match again*). New South Wales yesterday iti sultry weather. When stumps wen , drawn cm Monday thu local Mid.- had scored 231 runs in the tiif-t innings mid 2O.'i for six wickets in the second, and the visitors hail heen dismissed in the first innings for ~:i.

New South Wules com] deled the second innings for 240 and Knglnnd lind made 280 for seven wickets at the clone of the day's play.

Marylehone therefore requires 12"> runs to win with three wickets to full.

Yesterday whs the fir-t occasion this season 1 have seen Oldfichl produce anythin}; like the liattinu form ho showed when he was such ;i thorn in KmulhiklV side in the Tests about 1!»24. Some of his cover-drives were splendidly executed. Best Batting of Tour. Hardstaff and Harnctt put the Knuli-h batting back on the map after Monday's sad display. It was the be-t batting seen this tour in an important match, and scintillated with nil stroke*. There whs brilliant running between the wickets, and they kept chasing runs us well as running them quickly. The spectators appreciated the splendid batting. The batsmen did not merely guide the hall, but hit it with full-blooded smacks. The bowling was never loose and rune were never presented to them. Hardstaff played the best innings I have seen from him in Australia. The wicket was a Bern. Perhaps I was rather unkind the previous day in not making allowance for it when eondenining the English batsmen, and may be it wag not as pood as I thought. Nevertheless, the wicket was no excuse for the other failures yesterday. New Ball Causes Collapse. There was a collapse when the new ball was used, Kngland losing four wickets while scoring 20 runs. It was regrettable that Barnett an I Hardstaff were let down, as their effort deserved to bring England near victory. I except Ameß, who played a forceful innings. Towards the close it was excellent cricket, and an English win or a defeat in this match does not really matter. New South Wales is the only State to beat Kngland on this tour. It niui-t be a long time since any State did it twice, and 1 heartily congratulate New South Wales. Scores:— NEW SOUTH WALKS. First innings 231 Second Innings.
