AN EASY WIN

AUSTRALIA BEATS LANCASHIRE BY AN INNINGS LAST FOUR WICKETS FALL FOR THREE RUNS By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright London, July 7. 'The weather was sunny but cloudy when the match between Australia and Iguicashire was resumed at Manchester. Continuing their first innings, the Australians scored 284. Lancashire, in the second innings, scored 184, leaving the .Australians winners by an innings and eight runs. There was an attendance of 12,000 in the afternoon. The ground waa ' gaily decorated for the visit of the Prince of Wales, and the band of the Chester Regiment was present, and played during the luncheon hour. During the,tea adjournment the members of the teams were presented, to the Prince, some thirty kinematographers recording the presentations. The officials 9r. the Lancashire Club were also present. The Prince saw-three-quarters of an. hour’s play, and the nearest approach of his seeing a wicket fall was when Carter missed Sharp. Hendry and Ryder resumed batting, and the second century soon appeared. The wicket was not as jumpy as it was yesterday. Hendry, when 41, was dropped by Whewell. Ho also made bad strokes which escaped in the slips. Ryder reached his 50 in eighty minutes. Parkin and James Tyldesley took up tho bowling at 232. Hendry, when ho was 51, was deceived by a slow ball from Parkin, and his leg stump was rooted up. Seven for 238. It was a valuable partnership, but not clever. Hendry had finished his stroke before the brill reached him. ’

Carter came In, and added one. and then Ryder got his leg in front from _a ball from Parkin. Eight for 23<. M'Donald was next, and when he had made six Whewell dropped him off Parkin. M’Donald added 6 more, and then Parkin got his middle stump. Nine for 255. Mailey was the last man. Carter, in his unorthodox style, took his score to 26, when Parkin spread-eagled his stumps- Mailey had made six. Parkin bowled with reasonable variety, and his average to-day was four wickets for 30 runs. When the Australians took the field Mavne fielded for Macartney. M'Donald and Gregory' had charge of the bowling, and Hallows and Barnes were the batsmen. Nothing was ecored off the first two overs, and when six overs had been sent down four runs were on the score sheet. The next two, however, produced eleven runs. Hendry then went on in place of M'Donald. Barnes skied Gregory safely to short-leg for two, and Hendry twice to the boundary off the one over. The wicket was playing easier than yesterday. The batsmen continued to hit, and 50 went up for 43 mintues’ plav. Collins widened his field. Off five overs 28 runs had come, and Mailey replaced Hendry at 55. The change was effective, for six runs later Hallows played forward to an off-break from Mailey, and was out. He had batted 50 minutes for his 35 runs, which included five fours. One for 61. Watson, the newcomer, did not remain long. Mailey bringing off a high, onehanded catch off M'Donald, who had just gone on vice Gi’egory. Two for 62. Sharp followed, and he aud Barnes made a splendid stand. Sharp when 12 was badly missed' by Carter off M'Donald. Several changes were made in the bowling, but 100 came up in ninety minutes. Barnes, who was formerly captain of Marlborough, completed his fifty in 102 minutes. After tea Gregory hit Barnes hard! on the head, but Barnes continued. Collins missed Sharp when ho was 42, and he also missed a chance of running either man out off the earn© stroke. When the score was 145 Mailey caught Barnes off Gregory. Sharp was then 44. Barnes had played a sterling and most crisp innings of 125 minutes. He hit four fours. The Australians joined in tlie applause which greeted him. Gregory was severe on Ellis’s fingers, the batsman three times being attended to for knocks. Ellis remained with Sharp until 173 appeared, mostly by the efforts of Sharp, and then Ellis fell a victim to Gregory. Four for 173. James Tyldesley came in, only to see Hendry catch Sharp off Gregory. Five for 174. Sharp had made 65.

Richard Tyldesley joined his brother, knocked up seven, and then was caught by M'Donald off Mailey. Six for 181. The end came with great rapidity, the remaining wickets only putting on three to the total. James Tyldesley was caught by Gregory off Mailey. Cook’s bails were removed by Carter off Mailey. Hendry caught Kenyon off Gregory, and Whewell’s stumps were scattered by Gregory. The following are the scores: — AUSTRALIA. First Innings. Collins, c. Whewell, b. J. Tyldesley ... 10 Bardsley, c. R.
