It was a magnificent day and the •wicket was excellent. There was a tremendous concourse of spectators — over thirty thousand. The Englishmen began maUspiciously, the first wicket going down for the addition of. one run on last evening's total, Clarke keeping a fine length. Hayward only replaced McGahey to get leg-before. • - Qnaife, despite his English average, failed to make much progress against Howell and Clarke. . -It was not till Jones partnered -Maclaren that anything like lively play ensued. The- Notts captain played with great dash. The fielding was somewhat loose, and without the finish which characterised that of the Englishmen. Maclaren played fine steady cricket; not brilliant, 'but sound. After lunch both batsmen scored mcrAfter compiling 44 Clarke tempted Jones out at one which scattered his stumps. Jessop received a great ovationv on going out; the crowd was anxious to witness his prowess." Jessop played fait from, the start. His first stroke was for a. conple, followed by a "five, two fourere — and then the end came. The North "Sydney bowler sent- a tempter, and Jessop went out at it, missed, and retired, with the sixth wicket down for 160. . . Idlley joined the captain, who made the first century of the tour after being three hours at the' wickets. His -partnership with the Warwickshire player was serviceable; and carried the total to 233 before. separation.
