M.C.C. TEAM v. NEW SOUTH WALES.

COLLAPSE OF THE LOCAL TEAM. Uaitid Press Elwtrie Tslefraph-Copyruhi. SYDNEY, November 26. The weather was dull and muggy today, and a temporary change ™™° wind brought up raia, wliich rtoppeel play for ten min-utee. but did not effect the wicket. About 25,000 people were present. The Englishmen, who had 9 wickete down for 289, were all ont for 304. Now South Wales fared disastrously. Barnes, bowling a eplandid length, had the bertsmen tied up from the etert, and own© ont with a really fine average. With Diamond* dismieeal in the first few minutes, those who followed were oTorrcautious. and the next two wickeie went down when the score was only 14, of whidh Trumper had contributed 9. After lunch Trumper and Hopkins made a stand, the former batting brilliantly. These two brought up 76 before Braund brought about Trumper'e dismissal by a smart catoh in the slips. Hopkina was caught in a precisely similar manner by Hutching* a few. minutea later. Barnes had now captured 4 wickots for 13. The remainder of the New South Wales wickots fell rapidly, although McCartney and Blaxland stonewalled for « time. Jones, the English captain, elected to bat, instead of sending New South Wales in again. Before scoring, Jones, who had gone in with Fame, gave Blaxland a chance in the clips which was accepted. Fane played the bowling with the utmost freedom, and had rattled on 38 wfoen. he had the hard luck to be run out. Braund and Hutchings made a serviceable stand, each scoring steadily, but the excellent bowling of McCartney and Noblo made the batsmen, oautioue, and was the means of keeping down the rune. Hutohinge, however, at times indulged in some hard hitting at anything that was loose. Rhodes played a slow and patient innings. When the century was "hoisted, Hutchmgp went out to Johnson, and, missing the ball, was clean after giving a good display. ENuX<JtNJ>. First Innmri.
