Altogether ho was fifty minutes at tho wickets, and gavo an excellent display of clean hitting. Nine for 183. Lavor wns tho last man. Hirst displaced Barnes at 201, and the end-came sis runs later, when .Macartney played Brearley on. Tho Sydnoyito batted for 105 minutes for his 18, and played a ? fine, defensivo game; Laver appeared awkward, and gavo a chance whon ho had'scored two to'MaoLaren m tho slips, off Broarloy. • • t Tho Austialians' innings occupied 290 minutes. Barnes—sis 'for 33—bowled an excellent length, and turned tho ball a littlo both ways..,: .." England's second innings. i Fry and Hobbs opened England's second innings, Cotter and ' Macartney were : tho bowlers, ' When. each -batsmen -bad - mado seven, Fry played Cotter on.- One for 17.

The weather brightened; .A doublo; change of. bowling was tried, Armstrong and Laver going on. . .The batting was .good till lunoh, when the. scoro was 56 for two wickets. ■. •: ■ ■ . '.

A rot now.set in, the wickets falling in quick succession, i MacLaren filled tho vacancy only to, see Sharp (11) depart, bowled by Cotter. Four for 61. Tho fifth wicket fell without any addition ,to tho scoro, MacLareh being dismissed for a 'duck'' by a, smart os-toh by Cotter at point, off Macartney, \ Rllodes and Lilley carried tho total to 82, when tho latter, who had scored a couplo,' got his leg in-front to ono of .Cotter's; Six for 82.

Tho.

English side went down like skittles before tho dehvoric? of G, G, Macartney,..who turndd. his opponents out. to/ the lively tune, of 7 for 58, Armstrong, Noblo, Carter,': and.Ransford supplied-the majority of runs for Australia in tho secondinnings, which concluded on; Saturday morning shortly after, tho seaond century was hoisted. With the exception of Hobbs, England's batting in the second innings was lamentably weak, and a'paltry sooro of 87 is not worthy of : England's chosen. G. .G. - Macartney "bagged" .11 wiokets for 85 runs for tho match; and A, JCotter 6 for 83. Si'.F. -Barnes justified his selection by turning out seven of his opponents for 70 runs. Jcssop's place in the eleven was not refilled; unless-he bowled prior to bis-mishapi tho rules do not prevent a substitute;being allowed, to bat. The present victory: is No, 8 obtained on Eilglish wickets,'.'and on present form the 1909 tourists ; appear, capable of- adding twomore to. their oredit.
