MACLAREN'S TEAM IN AUSTRALIA.

SECOND TEST-MATCH. AUSTRALIANS MAKE 353 IN SECONf) 'INNINGS. DUFF SCORES 104. SECOND INNINGS OF THE ENGLISHMEN. FIVE WICKETS DOWN FOR 147. ;; By Telesrapli.—Pre£3 Association.—Copyright. (Received January. 3, 4.25 p.m.) Mklbouiin'e, January 3. The third day of the cricket match, England v. Australia, commenced in very hot weather, a trying northerly wind blowing. The wicket was in beautiful condition, and the exciting nature of the game had the effect of drawing a great attendance.

Duff, and Armstrong, the not outs of the previous day, continued batting. Duff began scoring speedily, and both men were set from the start. The bowling was excellent. Braund kept ,a fine length, and sent down four maidens.; The fielding.was; smart and clean, and put a check on Duff for a time. Armstrong, playing the game carefully, left the leg " stuff" of Braund severely alone. Duff had a narrow escape in making a dangerous run.. Jessop re*, turned fast and Braund whipped the bails off. Before- lunch, amid cheers, Duff brought the hundredth run up for the partnership, and immediately afterwards recorded his own century amid terrific cheering, Braund shaking hands with the young batsman. Duff occupied three hours and fourteen minutes for his hundred. Armstrong then commenced to pile up his total. When he reached 45 Braund, who was bowling with hard luck, had his revenge by clean bowling Duff, whose innings occupied three hours twenty-six : minutes. His score included 11 fours. ,'■' The whole innings lasted seven hours and six minutes. " (Received January 3, 8.10 p.m.) Requiring 405 runs to win Maclaren and Haywaid set about the task after lunch, Jones and Noble opening the attack. Both batsmen made a single, when Maclaren, off Noble's second ball, in trying to place it on, sent it up high in the slips, Trumblc effecting the catchone wicket for 2. Tyldesley came next, and opened his account with a fourer, following it up by getting double figures in the next two strokes. With 29 up Trumble ueMevecl Jones, whom the Englishmen played freely. Then Hayward, who had scored a dozen slowly, went out to Trumble, Kelly dislodging his bails two wickets for 29. Neble was then displaced by Howell. The ohango produced a long interval of tedious play, Quaife, the newcomer, playing a stonewalling game. The Australians were fielding admirably. Jones took Trumble's place, and his first ball hit Tyldesley's wrist, and his third ball took the bat out of his hand. When 58 appeared on' the board Armstrong was tried in place of Howell. After tea Trumble and Noble took up the bowling. Tyldesley's scere mounted steadily without anything' brilliant in the way of hitting. The field were nursing Qiuiife, who waited an opportunity of eccasioually getting away to the feace, but it was evident that Tyldesley had the measure of the bowling. Noble, with a beauty, got Quaife's wicket when ho had knocked up 25, having been at the wickets for an hour and twenty minutes—three wickets for 80. ;:■. ■ .■:,-■

Jessop was the next batsman, the field being placed near Hie fence in anticipation of hard hitting. Tyldesley' disabled leg gave way while, running, but he resumed after a few minutes' spell. Jessop, with his peculiar crouch, instantly became aggressive, double figures appearing in a few minutes. A couple of boundaries in quick succession raised the expectation of the crowd, the batsmen getting 11 off Trumble's over. At 116 tho changes were worked with Jones, Armstrong, Noble, and Howell. Jessop's total stood at 32, including five fourei-3, when he made an uppish stroke, Gregery, at mid-ofi, taking a soft catch. Jessop batted thirty-five minutesfour wickets for 122. Lilley succeeded Jessop but sent a soft one to Darling at leg without augmenting the score.Bvaund filled the vacancy, and run-get-ting was very slow for a while, Noble bowling finely. Tyldesley was playing fine solid cricket,?and, with Braund, played out tho time. / The following are the scores: Australia, first innings ... ... ... 112 England, first innings ... ... ... 61 AUSTRALIA.—Second innings.

COMMENTS ON SECOND ' DAY'S PLAY. ; . ■ Melbourne,, January 3. The wonderful recovery, of the Australians yesterday is tho topic of the hour. The wisdom of Darling holding tho best batsmen till the last is amply demonstrated. At the conclusion of Wednesday's play there was no cricket authority bold enough to predict that the last five of the team could set anything but a fairly easy task for the visitors. The debutants in the test matches have proved themselves worthy of the confidence reposed'. in them. Hill *and Duff defied the English bowling, though change after change was made. It was a great exhibition of fine confident batting. The Australians have given the I Englishmen a respectable total to obtain before they can claim a victory. The wicket, when the stumps were drawn, was in exccillent condition. With the continuance of fine weather a, tough contest will ensue.

THE DEMONSTRATION AGAINST -•/NOBLE.'.' .Sydney, January 3. Acting on the initiative of some members of the Paddington Cricket Club, the Mayor of' the borough proposes to call a public meeting to protest against ■ the hostile . demonstration against Noble on the Melbourne ground, over his selection in the test team.

The Devonport Steam Ferry Company announce excursions to-day to St. Jielicrs Bay and Rangitoto, and to-morrow to the same places and to Lake Takapumi. -••
