Received Tuesday, 9.40 a.m. BRIGHTON, May, 30. There was no dullness about the seeond day's play between the New Ztalanders and Sussex. It was fuil jf wickets and incidents, and in fact from the New Zealand batsmen's personal point of view pernaps rather too full of wickets. sussex declared at lunch with -176 for seven and in a most unmanaerly fashion put out their visitors for 160. The New Zealanders made their nabitual start and Donnelly alone pr.ovided any sparklg, hitting 40 in an hour. Wallace Uneasy. Wallace, in the shadow of his 1C00 runs, was not his imp.erturb^xble self and §pored 62, chiefly, one feit, by instinct after he was dropped at 16. Obviously impressed by the Sussex bsw.ing manners, New Zealand set about their batsmen and in the remaining throe-quarters of an nour took six wickets for 29 runs. rhus Sussex is 145 aiiead with four. •ackets in hand. Cowie Bowls Well. Cowie bowled very well — six overs, hree of them maidens, and taking four wickets for 13 runs. In the Sussex second innings Cowie continued with his taste for entertamment. He had John Langridge out the first ball. Then, afcer a leg bye, he made Smith play on „c his wicket and had Charles Oaks caught by Mooney, his analysis at that time reading two overs, eight runs and three wickets. Cresswell and Mo'oney also took a part in the entertainment. Out went Bartlett and Sussex were four fcr 18 and the visitors were. less unhappy about their own batting. Visitors Cheerful. When Reid caught Cox off Cowie and James Langridge was leg beI'cre to Hayes they felt quite clpeerful. Details: — SUSSEX. First Innings. John Langridge, c Mooney, b Burke 154 D. Smith, b Rabone 30 O.
