The England v. New South Wales cricket match was continued to-day. The- weather was fine but hot, and the wicket rolled out hard and fast. Mead and Foster resumed to Hordern and Cotter. After a few singles Foster magnificently droro Cotter for four and with the next ball attempted to repeat the stroke, but Gregory, at cover point, brought off a remarkable | catch, t!ie ball travelling at lightning speed a few inches above tlio ground.' In Cotter's next over Mead tipped a good length ball to Carter wlio caught it. Ho had batted for 172 minutes for 46, in a style more safe than brilliant. Douglas batted 20 minutes without scoring, then Trumper dropped an easy catch off Hordern. The next ball he was out leg before. He did not play one single forcing stroke. With Woolley and. Barnes together play brightened up and the former used his feet and hit with great freedom, lifting Hordern for six. Two hundred appeared in 267 minutes. Barnes next fell a victim to Folkard who bowled an off break which he did not attempt to play, but it took oft the bales. Strudwick was bowled by a particularly fast delivery from Coi tcr after scoring five. Hitch started by pasting Cotter twice for four, but was bowled by Hordern-in the third over. After lunch Woolley was the not out man with 43 to his credit. He batted for 48 minutes and hit firo fours, one six, and on the play was the most attractive batsman of the team. New' South Wales started disas-, trously, Trumper being cleverly' caught by Strudwick off Foster in the first over. Macartney, who joined Bardsley, was given out leg before tr Douglas, who was bowling at thr other end, also after scoring one. Bardsloy was not long in following. He scored 24 in vigorous style. Then in trying to cut a «ood length fast ball from Foster h P tipped it to Strud wick wlio held. Gregory and Barboui pliiyed very carefully and scored almost as slowly as the Englishmen, o' taking's 3 minutes. At "53 Wool'.e* rolioverl Douglas, and his second bai" Gregory tipped high in the slips bin Foster failed to reach it. Barboin was in for 3G minutes before he scoi ed his second run. He had been hit ting hard but the field was wel placed. After tea play sparkled more, am 100 appeared for 87 minutes batting Barnes and Heariie both proved ex pensive, so Douglas replaced Hearno.
