.Garrett batted splendidly for. New South Wales, and with the assistance of Howell, who carried out his bat, kept things lively to the finish. South Australia opened disastrously, the first two wickets being down for eight. Then G. Giffen and Lyons became associated, and by careful and interesting play, raised the total to 60 before Howell got a fast pile past Lyons. With the advent of Reedmanthe rot, which had again set in, seemed ended, ;but at. 124 G-iffen had the misfortune play a ball: back' to M'Kibbiri£and thus ended his masterly and uubiemished innings, None of the others withstood the deadly deliveries of Howell and M'Kibbin, who were both in grand nick. Being 168 behind, South Australia followed on, but had no better luck, as a few minutes' play saw Reedman, who had made a fine rallying; stand in the first innings, and Martin sent to the rightabout. .;' '.. , . •, .
