—«>- AUSTRALIA V. SURREY, Press Aisoi'ia'.ion—Uy Telegraph—Copyright, LONDON, May 18. Tlio weather was cloudy for the second day's play, which was interrupted by frequent showers. Seven thousand people were present., I!aids|uy lost his wicket in the third over of the day. He kitted 100 minute::, and played skilful but uncertain cricket. The sanio over saw Ilartigati, who Idled the vacancy, put his lir.-t ball lamely into Hayward's hands at point, the sixth wicket falling for 85. A bumping ball caused M'Alister to put up an easy nuu in the .slips. Three wickets bad fallen in six overs. The telegraph showed 97 with the eighth wicket down. Then ensued half an-hours partnership between .Macartney and Cotter, marked by some smart running between the pair, Macartney showing some neat strokes. Cotter lost his leg slump in attempting to drive Rushhy. His score included an on drive for 6. Macartney brought the inning* to a close by skying taes to Spring at mid-on. The innings lasted 155 minutes. A heavy shower of rain stopped further play for a time. After lunch the weather cleared, but was unsettled. Surrey made an inauspicious start, the third wicket being down for 27. 11 ay ward was par-, ticularly watchful. Ho made lino hits occasionally, securing 5 for an on drive oil Noble.
