The Australians' innings was little "more than a procession, no one/ex- • copting McAllister being abletowith- ■ stand the bowling of Newman, who •captured the whole eight wickets, • the other two men being run-out. He took? for 24, finishing with B*for'43. The third and fourth wickets fell at 39, a sjnart piece of fielding on the part of Boweli disposing of Bardsley, while Whitty succumbed to the first ball of Newman's next over. McAllister and Armstrong ■ carried the total to 61; then Armstrong was taken in the slip off a rising ball. Newman got rid of Gregory and. Macartney in the same over, six wickets being down for 71 and seven; for 75. McAllister played a plucky game lasting 40 minutes, his < departure leaving the score eight for 82. Hartigan added a single 'before Newman got him. Layer, the last .man, hit the first ball into Remnant's hands at mld-on. The innings occupied altogether 75 minutes. To-day the pitch was most treacherous.
