LONDON, June 2. , In the second day of the Australia v. Cambridge match, the weather was summery, the wicket perfect, and the attendance seven thousand. Andrews and Pellew resumed their overnight innings to the bowling of Gibson 1 and Marriott. Scoring soon became fast. Andrews gave a chance to Mcßryan shortly after starting, which was refused. He brought up his fifty in sixty-four minutes. Pellew reached the half century in forty-five minutes, hitting a. sixer off Alarriott. The partnership added a hundred in fifty minutes. At fifty-seven Pellew gave a chance to Lowry. At 163 Doggaii, a fast right hander, displaced Gibson, and the new bowler scored, getting ' Andrews lege before. 4 for 177. , Ryder followed. Pellew at 76 gave another hard chance to Claud Ashton, off Doggart. The second century was hoisted in two hours. Gibson replaced Doggart. Ryder was then run out as the'result of a smart return by Gilbert Ashton.

Armstrong partnered Pellew, who at 93 was again missed by Gilbert Ash►on. His century was posted in eightyfive minutes. Armstrong, gave two chances. At seventeen, Doggart dropped him. and again missed him at twenty-nine. A third chance was fatal, Chapman snapping him up in the slips. 6 for 299. Two runs later Pellew was bowled, playing back to Marriott. His innings lasted 130 minutes and he 1 hit a sixer and twenty-one fours, showing fine crisp batting all round the wicket. Hendry 'and Oldfield were lively, and carried the total to 358. COLLEGIANS BAT AGAIN. The Mailey-Oldfield-Ryder combination played havoc in Cambridge’s second innings, the team’s weakness being due to the absence of a number of their good players owing to examinations. Hillwood and Mcßryan opened well against McDonald and Hendry, scoring fifty in forty-five minutes. Ryder replaced McDonald at fifty-one'and Mailey bowled rice Hendry. At fifty-three off Mailey’s first hall Hillwood gave Mayne an easy catch, and at sixty Mailey jumping up caught Mcßryan off his own bowling. Then the wickets went fast. Mailey secured four in four overs for eleven runs. The resistance generally was feeble. The sixth wicket fell for one hundred, which had taken a hundred minutes to compile. Claude Ashton shaped well. Hubert Ashton is unlikely to bat. At- the end of the day s play Cambridge in the second innings had lost seven wickets for 91 runs. THIRD DAY’S PLAY. The match was finished in twenty minutes. The weather was bright and the wicket fast, but the attendance was small when the Cambridge not outs resumed still thirty-one short of the Australians score.

McDonald and Alailey directed the attack. Ashton showing preference for the former added ten when he lost his partner who was beaten all the way by Mailey. With the addition of five runs Marriott was caught by Hendry off Mailey. As Hubert. Ashton was unable to play the innings terminated fourteen ruits short of the Australians’ first innings. Ashton played solidly for his thirty-four he occupied the creases for fifty-five minu tes. Mailey completely puzzled Cambridge." Scores: CAMBRIDGE—Ist Inni ngs. Macßryan, e.
