SOME NOTES ON THE PLAY. , Press Association.— Telegraph. -Copyright

Adelaide, January 15. Iredale was batting just over four hours. His defensive play was of the soundest possible description, and as he got set after each break in the innings, he did some splendidly timed hitting. Most of his seventeen fours were the results of perfect late cuts. On returning to the pavilion he received a great ovation, the people rising and cheering him loudly. _ . A Trott's score occupied ninety minutes in compilation, and his display was even more brilliant than that of Bruce. Cleverer, or harder, driving than Trott's has seldom been seen in Adelaide. His total included eleven Until towards the finish the fielding of the Englishmen was first-class. m , , , Trott's fast ball which beat Ward broke off the stump. He played an hour for his score of 13. . ~ i ~ i, , The weather to-day was delightfully cool, and the wicket played well, although showing signs of the ordeal through which it had Pa A. e Trott and Giffen resumed bowling to A. Trott and Giffen resumed bowling to Stoddart and Brown, but at 62 Trott clean bowled Brown before he could increase his score, Brockwell joined his captain, and both played with great caution Before the newcomer had reached double figures Giffen missed an opportunity of catching him. After his escape Brockwell began scoring rapidly, boundary hit after boundary hit brought up the century, but then the Surrey man sent one hard back to Trott, who made a tine one-handed catch. Peel came next, only to softly put his first ball back to Irott. Ford partnered his captain, but after getting into double figures he cut Albert Trott to Harry Trott. The procession had now begun, Brims only coming in to go down before the redoubtable Victorian, who was trundling brilliantly. Lockwood, who followed, essayed to lift him out of the field, but he feU a prey to Iredale in the long field. • Richardson was the last man, and he began hitting merrily till 143 appeared on the sheet, when he gave H. Trott a chance at point, which was eagerly snapped up, and amid tremendous cheering, the Australians were returned victors by 382 runs. Stoddart carried out his bat.
