LONDON, 9th September.

The match) between Mr. C I. Thornton's Eleven and the Australians was continued to-day. There was a. large attendance, and the weather was fine. Tlie wicket continued in good order, andl fast. The Australians' batting was not convincing, and they finished, their first innings 59 runs behind the Englishmen. Jupp was iii great form, and took five wickets for 54 runs. Collins, without adding fcovhis overnight score, was stumped by Wood1; and Jupp knocked out Macartney's stamp before he hadbroken the ice. Two for 37. ; Wood missed stumping Andrews off Woolley before he got property ' going. Runs came steadily, andt there were several bowling changes. Andrews made occasional good drives, and he and) Bardsley carried the total to 116 before Bardsley got in front of on© of Hitch's deliveries. Andrews was dismissed at 130 by a fine left-handed catch by Mead. Jupp disposed of the next two, Taylor and Armstrong, in the same over. Six for 150; and eight "runs later Ryder was caught at square-leg. The ' three wickets fell 'in twelve minutes. Hendry M'Donald', and Mail&y provided liv«ly tail-end play, causing several quick bowling changes. The fielding: was poor, and the large number of extra* depreciated the good bowling. ■ • Thornton's Eleven went in again, and when play ended for the day had lost j six wickets for 119 runs. Mailey figured prominently. He took five wickets for 49 runs, and made a cktch off M'Donald, which accounted for the sixth. M'Donald and Hendry opened the bowling. Sandham and Rhodes got busy, and rattled up 39. Rhodes was snapped in the slips. With Hearne in, j the merry pace was maintained, and Sandham was aggressive with fine strokes to the pff. Armstrong tried several changes before Mailey appeared and ended .Sandham's career with a catch from his own bowling. Two for 87. Hearne, at 22, wsb taken in the slips. Three for 92. Mailey bagged the next three for an additional 15 runs. Hendren was caught at long field, Woolley at leg boundary, and Hitch on a skier, all trying to force the pace. Six for 107. Mead and Douglas, with their eyes on the clock, took noi chances. The following are the scores :— THORNTON'S ELEVEN. First innings' 280 AUSTRALIA. First Innings.
