CRICKET.

Per Electric Telegraph— Copyright. (By Telegraph.} London, January 14. A match has been arranged for next season, as a testimonial to W. W. Read, the well known Surrey amateur, between Stoddart's team and the rest of England, instead of England v. Surrey, as at first THIRD TEST MATCH. Adelaide, January 15. Iredale was batting just over four hours. His defensive play was of the soundest possible description, and as he got set after each break m the innings he did some splendidly timed hitting. Most of his.seventeen 4s were the results of perfect late cuts. On returning to the pavilion he received a great ovation, the people rising and cheerIng him greatly. A. Trott's score occupied 90 minutes m compilation, and his display was even more brilliant than that of Bruce. Cleaner and harder driving than Trott'H has seldom been seen in^ Adelaide. His total included elven 4s. Until towards the finish the fielding of the Englishmen was first-class. A. Trott's fast ball which beat Ward smashed the off stump.* Ward played an hour for his scoreof:l3. The weather wasjielisitfully cool and the wicket played weltiyithftt^i showing signs of the ordeal througliv^ich it had passed. A. Trott and GiftefT resumed bowling to Stoddart and BrowniKferitat 62 Trott clean bowled Brown before he could increase his score. Brockwell jdrh'ea^iiscaptain 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 m 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 m the long-field. Richardson was last man and began hitting merrily tilU.43 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 rubs'; The only thing worthy of note is the fact that the Trott brothers had a hand m the dismissal of all the Englishmen m 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.
