The match between the Australians and Surrey was- completed to-day, a drawn game resulting. In reply to the County’s total of 475 for seven wickets, Australia compiled 629, Surrey In their second scoring 162 for the loss of two wickets at stumps. *

When play was resumed this morning McCabe and Chipperfleld continued to make runs. Gover used a new ball.

McCabe hit two fours in succession. Chipperfleld briskly assisted him until Gover skittled his stumps with a beautiful ball.

Then came the disheartening failure of Woodfull, who was in only a few minutes. He failed to connect with a good out-swinger from Holmes and was well caught by Fender, a low right hand catch at second slip. Five wickets were now down for 461. McCabe in trying to hit a sis skied one from. Garland Wells and gave an easy cateli to Fender. He had batted 345 minutes for his 240 and hit 29 fours. Probably it was the luckiest innings of his life, as he gave about eight chanees. Bromley in attempting to hit a sis off Fender was splendidly caught in tlie outfield by Gregory. He had hit one six and eight fours. Oldfield and Grimmett enjoyed themselves against the weary bowling until the luncheon interval.

The Innings Closed. After the Australians’ total had passed 600 in 385 minutes Gover obtained two more successes, bowling Grimmett and getting O’Reilly caught behind the wicket. ' Oldfield played an excellent forcing innings. The side batted for 420 minutes. Two hours were left to play when Squires and Gregory commenced Surrey’s second innings. With 44 up Grimmett trapped Squires. The spiritless match dragged on wearily. Gregory and Barling were sound against the lacadaisical attack. Brown’s big hitting enlivened the closing stages in which Klppax and Bromley were given bowling practice. The following are the scores:—
