ENGLAND v. NEW SOUTH WALES VISITORS SECOND INNINGS.

GOOD' DISPLAY BY FANE. By Tdogr'aph —rrcw' .association.— Copyright. SYDNEY, 17tb" February. The weather was fine for the third clay of, the return nidtch between the English team and the New South Wales" representatives, and the play proved interesting.' The home men, who bad nine wickets down for 354 op Saturday, only added 14 unis for the last wicket". AVuddy't. fine' score was the featuio of the innings, and he gave' no chances. He'iVaironly included in the team after fiva men had declined to play. ' ' The Englishmen then went iii for their second innings, and have made a good' start. Fane took three hours to compile his century, and gave two chances — one at 36 n.nci one at 64. With Hardjtaff he' added 94 for the fourth wicket. Following are the scores: — ( ( ' NEW SOUTH WALES.

Waddy, who- made tho .century — without a-,chance, too — against the. Englishmen. It furnishes another instance, of a man making the most' of his opportunities., Tho ''Rev. Waddy, playing, at Christmas time for his St.ite, also reached three • figures at the expense of the Queenslandecs, and in th<* recent match with Victoria he notched 28 and 5.. There was ti lot 01 talk about his 11011 -inclusion in tho last . Australian eleven, which toured England; He was then plain E. F. Waddy, and he headed the batting averages for* the 6cason with the following, figures :—.: — . .Highest Kot Inning. Pnns. ccore. ont. Average. 7 351 129*. 2 70.20 *Not out. , . 1 ; Blythe comes out with the best bowling average, and will probably have- a chinee in the next test' game, especially if Crawford does not • play. ' The Englishmen 'made a much better start in their second innings, and have now a lead of 185, with six wickets in hand. The scoring for the day was much . slower ,than on Satiirday. Fane also bagged, a century — ftis second of the torn- — but seems to have' had some luck. The Essex captain takes a lot, of getting out all tho same. , Braund, who lias been under a elqud since the Adelaide test match, is not out ' with a .decent score, whilst Hardstaff' looks well on the way -.for another, three figure total.
