CRICKET.
AUSTRALIAN TEAM v McDONNELL'S TEAM. Prese Association—?}- Telegraph—Copyright _~ , SYDNEY, March 9. xhe match was resumed this morning in glorious weather, and during the afternoon there was » good attendance of the public. McLeod and McDonnell reaumed their batting to the bowling of MoKibbm and Giffen, out within a few minutes the Victorian tipped McKibbin to Giffen. Coningham, who filled the vacancy, brought the second century up with a boundary nit and continued to play the bowling freely. McDonnell showed steady cricket and soored *cry slowly. Jones replaced McKibbin, and shortly afterwards Gomngham lifted Giffen high and Darling effected a splendid c&toh at the boundary. Worrall celebrated his arrival by lifting Jones on to the pavilion for five, with the hit of the matoh up to that period. McDonnell the a hit Giffen in a similar manner to Coningham, and Darling, who was waiting about the same spot, took the catch nicely. Turner joined Worrall, and the pair gave the field a taste of leather hunting, both making 4's in quick succession. H. Trott took Jones's place with the ball, and McKibbin relieved Giffeu; but despite the change Worrall scored quickly aud Turner gradually forged ahead. Johns' wicket keeping was again the reverse of satisfactory, and he missed one or two chances. Worrall, when well set, was given out lbw. After the lnncheon adjournment both A. E. Trott and Turner punished the bowling, the latter makiug some tine drives, aud the third century was hoisted amidst cheering. Trott quickly reached double figures; but Turner gave_ H. Trott an easy chance at point off McKibbin, which he accepted. Kelly followed, and soon afterwards Johns, by a smart piece of stumping, took A. Trott, who had reached out to a tempting one from hie brother Harry. Howell, the last man in, opened with a four hit. Johns badly missed Kelly off Eady, aud 4 resulted. Jones gave Howell a life off his own bowling, but clean bowled him immediately afterwards, and the innibgs closed for 355.

After the wicket had been rolled, the Representatives, requiring 243 to win, sent Dounan and Darling to the wickets, A. E. Trott and Turner bowling. With the score at 29 Turner beat Donnan with a beauty, | Graham filling the vacancy. Turner was bowling magnificently, and Graham found it difficult to get him away, but Darling steadily put ou runs. The fielding at times was brilliant, Worrall showing special excellence. At the afternoon adjournment the light became very bad, a storm from the south approaching. ! Darling was batting with the evident inteni tion or retrieving his bad luck on the first iuniugs. Both batsmen became well set, Graham showing fine batting power. Darling drove Turner to the boundary, bringing his half century in Bight by fine cricket, but Graham's hour had come, aad a smart return by Howell while he was attempting to run enabled Kelly to get hie wicket, lredale followed, but ao dark had the evening become that it was almost impossible to see the game. In spite of this, Darling managed to keep the soore going briskly uutil stumps were drawn, when the score stood at 112 for the log* of two, wickets. Scores:— .;*■■' ' REPRESENTATIVES.
