The attendance was good, and as the wicket hud improved it played fast. Fane and Doweon continued the Englishmen's innings. There was slow play for the first half hour, then the batsmen tegan to score and quickly brought the century up, Dowson doing most of the scoring. A change to Pye and Noble from Howell and Mcßeath was relished by the partnership, Dowson punishing Pye severelv. The i\ew South Wales fielding was excellent. The century was recorded without a sundry. Fane played forward to Noble and snicked the ball into the hands of Pye at second slip.—Four for 119.—Bosanquet followed, and by fine leg hitting soon got into double figures and the total passed the New Scuth Wales' score. After lunch Howell and Pye were tried, but the batsmen wave well set, Bosanquet doing some powerful hitting and being particularly strong on the leg side. Dowson plaved a fine game, clean strokes all round the "field. The Englishmen added 100 runs for 90 minutes' play. Mcßeath missed a hot one from Dowson off Noble, the batsmen's first chance. After making 75 the second century appeared for three hours work. Bosanquet miss-hit Xoble, Hickson taking the catch at third man.—Five for 204.—Before Johnston had a chance to score R. Duff brilliantly caught Dowson at mid-off.—Six for 212.—Dowson batted for two hours and twenty minutes, hit ten fourers, and played a thoroughly sound innings. Thompson filled the vacancy. Johnston reached double figures when Noble made a fine catch at point, the ball bouncing oat of his hand, but he recovered it.—Seven for 224.—Trott followed, but after a fourer and a single Pye at point jumping into the air effected a magnificent catch.—Eight for 229.—Stanning came next and his partnership with Thompson was long but tedious. The latter took fifty minutes to compile tea. Stanning sent one to Trumper in the long field low down, and he effected a fine catch. Hargreave, last man, knocked up three, then tipped one to Kelly, and the innings closed for 282. ENOLISHMF. N. —Ist innings. Warner, 1.b.w., b Noble '. 23 Burnup, b Mcßeath 8 Taylor, st.
