London, May 12.— During the afternoon 15,000 people were present at Sheffield Park. The Englishmen tried frequent changes of bowling. Donnan had a lucky innings, being frequently beaten by balls which, however, were off the wicket. Darling played excellent and stylish cricket, but gave two chances. His score included eleven fours. Iredale was bowled off his pads. GiSen pjayed steadily, but Hill showed dashing cricket.
The Australians' first innings closed for 257 runs.
Lord Sheffield's Eleven have lost five wickets for 80 runs.
The collapse of the -Australians is unaccountable, and the remaining five wickets fell under half an hour, and only added 16 runs. Mold bowled splendidly, while Lilley gave a brilliant exhibition behind tho wickets. Trott's score included seven four's. For the home team Giaco and Jackson scored freely.
