FOURTH TEST MATCH.

SAUNDERS JUSTIFIES HIS SELECTION. JESSOP OPENS WITH A DUCK. Great interest is being taken in the fourth test match, which began at Sydney ycslersplendid wicket was provided, and the match opened in glorious weather, with a light, cold breeze. Madu-ren’s luck was again in evidence, and. winning tho toss, be elected to bat. The usual opening partners. Maclaren ana Hayward, faced Noble and Saunders. After the" former had sent down a maiden Hayward set tho scoro going with a single off the Victorian. Play was slow and caution*. Maclaren was fifteen minutes at the wickets before he essayed a rim. Saunders, particularly, gave the batsmen trouble ; indeed, right through Hayward’s the latter was never at home to him. FLere was excellent fielding all round, and it had its effect on the run-getting. Noble was marvellously smart at point. When Maclaren had scored 23 he had a life, driving one hard back to Saunders, who failed to hold it. Fifty up appeared as the result of sixtv-six minutes' work. At 68 a double change ensued, Howell ana Trumble faking the place of Nob c and Saunders. The batsmen ted hj him i brought the game up to the luncheon adjournment. On resuming. Saunders bowled from the southern end, a.nd. with a magnificent ball, the third of the over, hr, dislodged Hayward’s bails. The Surrey professional had scored faster than his captain, his score including eight 4’s. One wicket for 73 runs. Trldcsley, the new-comer, sent Saunders’s next ball to the boundary, and in the next few minutes Maclaren brought his half '•mitirry and the first century ot the innings up. The task occupied just on a couple nt hours. Tyldesley got into donlee figures, and then relapsed into dull play. At 122 Noble relieved Saunders. MaY-ami opened his shoulders to the Sydney bowler with fine drives and beautiful leg strokes, producing 8 off the over. The outburst was only momentary, and rim game again became deadlv slow, Maclaren taking eighteen minutes to add singe. Howell replace*! Trmnb'e at 144. Armstrong taking Noble's end. A little later Tyldesley found the new Victorian to his liking, and smote his first over for 8. The ten, adjournment intervened, with the score at 174 as the prodnoi of three hours cricket.

After the tea adjournment Maduren brought his innings to an end. Re math a bad stroke, lifting Saunders h’gh to Dull, at mid-off, who effected a splendid eaten. He hit fifteen 4V. and was a! the wickets for three and ,vqu:irtr-r hours. Two wickets tor 179 runs. ‘J'Kiife filled ibe vacancy. Tyldesley bfc.nne more, aggressive, nut Qnaife, after m filing 4, touched one from Sauivdei-s inro Kelly’s hands. Three for 188. dcssop, am ; dsr. cheers, toilowed, and the field spread out, hut to tee general disappointment he tried an off hit, which went softly to Noble at point. Four for 188. Brawnd filled the vacancy, and narrowly mi.-srd being stomp'd off one from Saunders, vbo had obtained his last three wicket,-.- at ih" cast of 6 runs. Braund marked his i s-: pa by sending Saunders's next hall to the fence. TybW.ey, who was playing soundly, reached the halt century, while the so-ond century appear'd for three hours and tidy minutes' p’.ay. Tyldesley. by magnificent flashing cuts, raised the score rapidly, and made the hit of the day with a gr at, hj gh drive over the fence. Trumble displaced Howell at 225. and Bnvund, who had not played Saunders comfortably, met his late at Trumble's hands. He tried to get the tifth lial! round to log, but got Ibw. Five for 225. M’Gahey followed Tyldesley. and kept on scoring smartly. MTlahey scored 8. when he hit one hard to Hopkins, who flashed at it- and got his left hand chi the bail, tint failed to hold it. With the next ball Tyldcsley’s useful innings terminated, he having placed one from Noble, who rellcvixl Saunders, into Kelly's hands, after fourteen 4's for two hours fifty minutes at tee wickets.
