(United Service.) Received Sept. 10, 10.55 a.m. LONDON; Sept. 9. The weather was fine and the wicket unchanged.' The attendance was large. The Australians' batting was not convincing, and they finished their first innings 58 rims behind the Englishmen. Jupp was in great form and took five wickets for 54. Collins, without adding to his overnight score, was stumped by Wood and Jupp knocked out Macartney's stump before lie had broken the jee. Two for 37. Wood missed a chance of stumping Andrews off Wool ley before he had got properly | going. . Runs then came steadily and several bowling changes were made. Andrews got in occasional good drives, arid he and Bardsley carried the total to 116 before the latter got a leg in front of one of Hitch's deliveries. Andrews was dismissed at 139 by a fine left-handed catch by Mead. Jupp disposed of Taylor and Armstrong in the same over. Six for 150. Eight runs later Ryder was caught at square leg, three wickets falling in twelve minutes. Hendry, McDonald, and Mailey provided some lively tail-end play, causing several quick bowling changes. The fielding; was rather poor and the large number of extras depreciated the good bowling. ,
