SYDNEY, November 24. The weather is fine and the wicket good for to-day's match. Everett, Nothling, Punch, vVells, bjiS Morgan ha.ve been omitted from tho New South Wales team as previously cabled. Andrews, Kelleway, Kippax, and Bardsley are included. A cool southerly was blowing. The attendance was small. MacLaren won the toss, and Wilkinson and Titchmarsh opened to the bowling of Hendry and Kelleway, but owing to the excellent length of the latter there was no scoring except from loose ones. The spectators welcomed Mailey's appearance, as it was imagined the googly expert would nonplus the visitors in a similar fashion to that of Douglas's team, but the arrival of Chapman quickly dispelled the notion. The left-hander, who resembles Woolley in many respects, attacked the googlies in convincing fashion. Jjoing tail, he utilised his reach to good effect, turning many good_ length balls into full tosses, and despatching them to the boundary between mid-on and square leg. After the luncheon adjournment he treated the spectators to one of 'the finest all-round displays witnessed for years, adding 44 out of 54 in 20 minutes, Mailey being the victim He reached his century in 77 minutes, and was then caught at the long-off boundary by Bardsley off His score included 35 fours. Titchmarsh meanwhile had reached 58 by patient \batting. He was clean bowled by Kelleway when his score reached 79. The advent of the silveryheaded MacLaren was the/ signal for unstinted applause, which was renewed when the veteran revealed glimpses of his oldtime form. At the tea' adjournment the board showed five wickets for 271. MacLaren, M'Lean, and Freeman offered a stubborn resistance to the attack. On resuming the English captain surprised tho spectators by his agility and brilliancy. Hendry and Kelleway maintained a good length throughout tho day, but Mailey it no stage seemed dangerous. Gregory's fast bowling was sorely missed by the New South Wales team. Tho Australian eleven representative is at present on his farm :n Queensland. Bardsley and Collins opened the New South Wales innings with a quarter of an hour left, and played out. time. Scores:— England. First Innings.

VISITORS' FINE BOWLING. AUSTRALIANS' PARTIAL COLLAPSE. AN INTERESTING POSITION. SYDNEY, November 25. (Received Nov. 26, at 5.5 p.m.) The second day's play in the Phiglish team's match against New South Wales was continued in fine, cool weather, the crowd after lunch reaching 20,000. Notwithstanding the visitors' formidable total, the local men confidently set out to overtake it, but with a couple of exceptions collapsed before the excellent bowling and fielding of the Englishmen. Macartney, as usual, gave a bright all-round-the-wicket display, and was shaping full of promise when Tyldesley accepted a cannon-ball chance from his own 'bowling. Andrews and Kippax batted stylishly for their efforts, but persistently good length bowling, backed by a faultless and cleverly-placed field, quickly disposed of the remainder of the team for 11 short of the total necessary to save a follow on. Brand and Tyldesley bore the brunt of the attack, aul maintained a consistent lenutli throughout. The former is an accurate medium-paced bowler, and the latter has a deceptive, flighty delivery, with a tendency to break from the leg. Mac Lean behind tho wickets and Chapman at deep cover impressed by their smart displays. MacJ*aren and the team met with a wonderful reception on returning to the pavilion after their splendid achievement. MacLaren exercised his option and decided against a follow-on, and a chastened New South Wales team took the field for the Englishmen's second innings. \Tudging by the keep, bowling and fielding it was early evident that the visitors would have to earn every run. Many wondered why MacLaren refrained from, sending New South Wales Ai again, but, presumed that he was not anxious to subject his tired bowlers to a second opportunity with international batsmen, whilst the likelihood of a wet week-end was also a probable factor in his deciding to bat on a good wicket. The innings was practically devoid of incident, the batsmon playing correct, orthodox cricket, and Kelleway, Macartney, and Hendry striking perfect lengths. Mailey caused amusement by tying up the batsmen with his googlies. Scores: NEW SOUTH WALES. First Innings.
