Snooke and Sinclair resumed play, but their lives were short, Whitty getting each at 12. Cartel caught Snooke behind the wicker and the bowler caught Sinclair. The latter attempted a big hit. but struck the ball with the corner of his bat and skied it. The follow mr over Whitty bowled Llewellyn, he had struck a perfect length and was almost unplayable. Hordern was not so good. The 4IM) was scored in 355 minutes. After one more. Pearse was leg before to Hordern. ’Fhe decision was a surprise •«> tiegrandstand. T’ne bail was not seen to hit the leg. but continued to :’ne boundary. The batsmen ran one and then turned back. Australia went in wanting IOK to win. ami sent Macartney ami Bardsley to the wickets. The difference in batting was very appar ent. Macartney immediately start ed to punish the bowling of Llewellyn and Sinclair, and hit 56 in 35 minutes. Then Schwarz went on and bowled a full-pitcher, which Macartney hit to Ncurse at the boundary. He hit 7 fours. Tnimper started slowly, but 100 appear ed in 65 minutes. Play proceedeti quietly without special incident to

;34, when Bard siey was bowled by Kourse. Nourse repeated his next >all with Ransford, who went out _o a straight good length ball Trumper was extraordinarily careful, evidently desirous of retaining .he top average for test matches. He took 65 minutes for 50 runs, which is slow for him. Towards the end the South Africans played *n dispirited fashion. Trumper and Kelleway carried out their bats. Scores: — SOUTH AFRICA.

RIFLE-SHOOTING. NEW ZEALAND ASSOCIATION. TRENTHAM MEETING. Trentham, March 7. To-day has hardly been as favourable for shooting as yesterday. The morning was all that could be desired, but in the afternoon a breeze sprang up which upset many of the shooters and spoiled promising scores. The Otago match, 900 yards, was first taken, and three possibles were scored, but at the close several of the top aggregates had altered positions. While Frank still led. Hay had dropped seventh place and Cuthbertson went up to second, with Craw next.

In the Hawke’s Bay match, 1000 yards, considering the distance and the wind the shooting was good, though several failed to get on to the target, Smaill (Kaitangata), who was among the leaders, being among the number. The sectional firing for teams of six men, for which 42 teams entered. commenced yesterday and was completed to-day, and there was an attack match and special service match. The day was a strenuous one for the riflemen. HAWKE’S BAY MATCH. 1000 yards ; ten shots each.
