There was delightful'weather,-.and the wicket was • good for tlio.resumption of play;in. the second Test match between th'o South African team and Australia today.., -.The■. Australian team, in. its first innings, had made 318, and South Africa had 352, on. the score-sheets for. the loss of five, wickets (Faulkner, riot out, 188; Snooke, not out, 18). Thero was an attendance to-day of fourteen thousand. A Distinguished Coterie. Faulkner's innings was: followed with intense interest. Ho and Snooke compiled 'JO.' Faulkner had scored 204, thereby joining three others who exceeded 200 in Test' match cricket—Murdoch, Gregory, and Foster—when he was caught' in the, slips by Armstrong. Faulkner, who l received' an ovation, : had' batted for .315 minutes.- -He hit 26 fourers; his rate of. scoring being faster than/Foster's phenomenal innings in the 1903 Test at Sydney./ Snooke, who had been comparatively a failure so far, justified aU-'the-gdod things said concerning him by' his fine innings. Ho got most of. his runs by; an off drive, arid scored 50 • in. 87 minutes by. stylish, sound play. :•

. Big Hitting.by Sinclair. Sinclair for a while: appeared anxious, to/ be .aggressive, but /frequently changed his mind and played back. He began, by .two./tremendous forceful off-strokes off Cotter; but then quietened" down. He subsequently, found Macartney, to his liking; and jurriped out at hirii'and hit him hard along.the ground for .4. When Arm-, strbnfc werit ', on', the, spectators'-expected some fun,, as he bowled leg-theory, with thre fieldsmen on the side of' the'boundary., Sinclair, letthe ball go by, riot being tempted.-. Armstrong abandaned.theso, tactics, . ■ and then Sinclair operied.'.his , shoulders and drove him twice for sixers aniidst magnificent enthusiasm. Schwarz was dis-' missed first ball. Sinclair's runs included six fourers. The. ficldirig of :tho 'Australians was good and keeri. ' '. Tho South Africans' innings lasted .447.
