There was warm weather, and (3000 persons wei-e present when ]>lay was resumed to-day.

Tin; wicket was faster than on Ihe previous'day. 11 ay ward was suffering from a strain, and Haves ran for him. The veteran had scored 95 in 2- ); -> minutes without a chance, and made oi'ily two faulty strokes. He made a skilful defence, and his batting was noticeable for its clean hitting. His score included a live anil ten fours.

The Australians ripened well. Hartigan made a brilliant drive for live, followed by three lours. Rardslcy, however, in the seventh over, played on to his wicket, off his foot. The first wicket fell ' for 35. Hartigan scored rapidly.- and when at 37 was nearly run out. Four suns later Rushly bowled him, but the bails did not lall. At 33 he gave a chance in the slips oil Hitch, which was not taken, but he fell .to that bowler in the next- over. His score included two fives and six fours, and occupied 45 minutes. The second wicket fell at 73, Noble sending 1 up an easy catch to mid-on. The third wicket fell at 70. Ransford and Armstrong then became partners. . The former timed his hitting badly, and Armstrong batted steadily. The partnership lasted 05 minutes. Ransford was improving when he got his log in front of the wicket. The fourth wicket was down for 145, Ransford being bowled with a yorker, after a strangely dull'innings. Trumper, after a brief but bright followed Ransford without raising the total for the fall of the fifth wicket. He made 20. Macartney and Macalister then got together. The Sydney'player was missed, before he had scored, but Strudwick got him a few minutes later. Seven wickets for ISG. Carter was cleverly taken before he had a chance to score, by Strudwick at the wickets. He knocked the ball up, and Strudwick dashed in front of the wickets and caught the ball close to the ground. Eight for 187. Macalister played pluck--ily, but the last- wicket fell when six runs were wanted. The following are the scores: — SURREY. —First Innings. Ha ward, b Noble
