(Received March 7. 8 p.m.) SYDNEY, March 7. Snooke and Sinclair resumed, buti their lives were short,,Whitty getting each at 12—Carter catching Snooke behind the wicket, and Whitty bowling and catching Sinclair. The latter attempted a big hit, but the ball struck the corner of his bat and skied. Tn*e following over Whitty bowled Llewellyn. Whitty had struck a perfect length and was almost unplayable. Hordern was not so good. The 400 was scored in 355 minutes. After one more had been added Pearse got leg before to Hordern. The decision caused surprise in tKe grandstand. The onlookers could not see the*! ball hit his leg, but it continued on to the boundary. The batsmen ran one and then turned. ' -Australia then took the wickets, wanting 198 to win. Macartney and Bardsley started. The difference in the batting was very apparent.. Macartney immediately started to gunish the bowling of Llewellyn and inclair, and hit 56 in 35 minutes. They Schwarz came on and bowled a full pitcher, which was* hit to Nourse •at the boundary. Macartney hit 7 fours. '

Trumper startwrl slowly ,Jbut the 100 appeared after 65 minute? play. The batsmen proceeded quietly, without any special incident to 134, when Ba'rdsley ■vv'as bowled by bourse. He made 39. Nourse's next ball found Ransford's wicket. It was a straight, good length ball. Trumper was extraordinary careful, evidently desirous .of retaining the top average for the tests. He took 65 minutes to get 50, which was slow for him. Towards the *nd the South Africans played in a dispirited fashion. Trumper and Kelleway carried out their bats. SOUTH AFRICA—2nd Innings.
