Tho weather, whioh had been fine during the morning, with the exception of a little driving mist about noon, showed evident Bigna of holding up. A freah breeze had dried the ground, leaving it in very fair order. The hot outs of yesterday, Selby and Greenwood, went in, the latter facing Hay ward's bowling, who opened with a maiden. Howell followed suit. Tho second ball of Howell's next over was fatal t3 Selby, being caught off the bat cleverly by Buchanan, the wicketkeeper ; fivo for 91. Shaw then went in, but 'md mfiideil^ were bowled before anything was ; aoorcd. Off the last ball of Howell's over, (Greenwood _kied One, which went clean over ; the fence. /Hay ward bowled a madden. Off j Howell's next over only two were made, a difficult catch off Shaw being remarkably well , attempted by Beade with the left hand. In thenext over Shaw hit Heywood for 2, Green* wodd drew Howell for 1, and £ben lifted Hay ward's second ball' over the fenoe, end then put him away between point and slip,

for another. Shaw made a good -pi, and j then Greenwood skied the ball, butthe oatoh ! waa spoiled between Smith at long-leg, andi l Btock who collided, the player acoring 2. Greenwood Bkied another, wbioh waa well j tried for by Dunlop. Shaw, off Howell, gave a fine oatoh, which waa held by Howard behind the bowler ; aix for 111. . _£rmitage joined Greenwood. The latter immediately made one off Howell, then Armitage scored 2. For aome time, with the exception of a 4 over the fence, the scoring waa alow, Beveral maidens being recorded. Armitage next scored a splendid 3 to leg off Haywardl Keade went on at Howell's end, a couple being made off his firßt hall. Singlea, 2'a and a 3 brought the acore by twenty minutea to two o'clook up to 125. Hayward then dismissed Greenwood with a bailer. The batsman retired, amidst tremendous cheering, for the grand acore .of 66 ; eeven for 135. Emmett took Greenwood'a place, but after making 1 was stumped by Buchanan, to whom the ball waa cleverly sent in by Smith ; eight for 136. Lillywhite then went in, but waa immediately caught by Beade off his own howling ; nine for 136. Southerton took Lilly white's place, and started with a Bingle off Beade, and up to lunch time had made 2. After lunoh, Hayward bowled the first over. Scoring went on slowly until Southerton made a 3 off Beade. Armitage, in Beade'a next over, made two 3'a to leg. Howell then took the ball from Beade at twenty minutea past three, when the score stood at 157. Three minutes later Armitage was well caught by Galbraith at long-stop ; all out for 158. The All-Englanders now took the field, Galbraith and CroBS going to the wioket, Hill and Lillywhite bowling.
