THE TEST MATCH.

RICHARDSON’S FINE INNINGS. (Recoived Dec. 24. 3 p.m.) SYDNEY, Dec. 24. The Herald, commenting on the cricket, says: A. Richardson's innings was in many wavs a memorable one, characterised mainly by its power and precision in tho making of orthodox strokes, and in that respect comparable with anything of its kind previously scan on the Sydney cricket, ground. The ball was not forced away in unnatural directions, but it was made to travel to nil parts of the arena, witih marvellous speed. From the outsot he showed no inclination to temporise. In addition to the power of his strokes his play was really surprisingly versatile. There was vim in every stroke, and if they were* not all scoring strokes it, was only because the fieldsmen cut them off. His judgment in running between the wickets, especially in short singles, was not exemplary. On more tlim.il. one occasion lie was nearly run out. GALE BLOWING: OUTLOOK DUBIOUS.
