AUSTRALIA WINS SECOND TEST. SCORE FOUR CENTURIES. (Per Press Association.) AUCKLAND, March 30Tho second test match between Australia and. Nov Zealand was continued at Ecleu Park to-day, when the visitors 'secured a vory easy victory. The weather -vyns on the whole fine, though a short 'shower of rain fell just after lunch, As was expected the attendance was very meagre, and unly £22 was taken at the gates, making a, total of over £2Ol for the match. The Australians who had lost five wickets for 2-73 on Saturday, hatted until the lt'nch adjournment. Crawford, who was 61 not out the previous day, soon reached his century, and Armstrong succeeded in registering the fourth century of the match before Crawford was caught ]ust prior to the luncheon adjournment, when tho Australians declared with six wickets down for 610 runs. When the New Zealanders went in to bat it was generally thought that they would endeavour to make the match a draw, and that consequently the scoring would he slow. Such, however. was not- the case, and the earlier batsmen gave a bright display. Pride of place must be given to McMahon,
