CRICKET.

THIRD TEST MATCH. Per Electric Telegraph—Copyright. (By Telegraph.) Adelaide, January 15. The weather was delightfully cool and the wicket played well although showing signs of the ordeal through which it had passed. A. Trott and Giflen 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 new comer 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 the Surrey man sent one back to Trott who made a fine one-handed catch. Peel came next only to softly put his first back to A. Trott. Ford partnered his captain, but after getting into double figures cut Albert Trott to Harry Trott. The procession had now begun, Briggs 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 fell a prey to Iredale in the long-field. Richardson was last man and began hitting merrily till 143 was on the sheet when he gave H. Trott a chance at point, which he eagerly snapped up, and amid tremendous cheering the Australians were returned the victors by 382 runs. The only thing worthy of note is the fact that the Trott brothers had a hand in the dismissal of all the Englishmen in the second innings with the exception of Phillipson. The following are the scores : Englishmen— 2nd Innings. Maclaren, c Iredale bA. Trott ... 35 Ward, bA. Trott ... 13 Philipson, b Giffen 1 Brown, b A. Trott 2 Stoddart, not out ... 34 Brockwell, c and b A. Trott 24 Peel, c and b A. Trott 0 Ford, c H. Trott, b A. Trott 14 Briggs, b A. Trott 0 Lockwood, c Iredale, bA. Trott ... 1 Richardson, c H % Trott, b Giffen ... 12 ' Extras 7 Total 143 A. Trott took 8 wickets for 43, Giffen 2 lor 74, Callaway 0 for 19. A public meeting is being held tonight to arrange for a testimonial to recognise in a suitable manner George Giffen’s long cricketing career. A. Trott has been offered an engagement by Humphries with the Sussex county club, but will not decide until he gets back to Melbourne.

The following will play for the United second against Temuka second on the Caledonian ground to-morrow afternoon at 2.30: —Malcolmson, J. Crerur, Ellis, Brown, O’Callaghan, T. Mackenzie, Fraser, Powell, Heron, Waterhouse, and Helean ; emergencies Murdoch, Bufford, Roper, and R. Crerar.
