Newman, one .wicket for 57 runs; Bro ra. one for 14; Llowellyn, two for 43; Moid, none for 19; Hill, none for 9. . Newman Causes Australians' Prooosslon. The Australians', first innings was little more than a prooession, no one, excepting M Alistcr, being able to withstand the bowling of Nowinan, who captured the whole of the eight wickets, tbo other two men being run out. He took seven wickets- for; 24-. ■ finishing with eight for 43.

: Tho-third and fourth- wickets fell at 39. A smart pieoo .of : fielding onf tho . part of Bowell disposed of Bardsloy (run out for 24), while Whitty auccnmbwl to the first ball in Newman's next over. ' ' ' ....

M'Alistor and Armstrong earned'the total to 61, then Armstrong was taken at'slip oil a rising ball. Newman got' rid; and Macartney in the same over. Six' wickets tvero down for 71; oad seven for 75. ' ;

M'Alistor played a plucky'game, lasting 40 minutes, his departure loaving the icoro eight for 82. Hartigan added a- single. Laver, tho last man, hit the first bail sent Him into Remnant's hands at mid-on. - i

. The innings occupied altogether 75 minutes, the players being at tho wickets to-day for 50 minutes. Tho pitch was most treacherous.

Laver Routs Hampshiro. ' ' Laver's bowling was tho feature of.Hampshire's second innings. He finished with an average of seven wickets for 27, and it would have been even bettor had-all the . chances been. acceptcd. When tho sixth wicket fell he had five to his credit for 16.'

The second ball sent down' by Laver disposed of Bowell before the home team opened its account. The second wicket was down for 6, and the third for 38. Llewellyn, who played vigorous cricket,' gave a chance to Noble off Laver .when ho had .made; ; .

After luncheon the weather was brilliant, and tho attendance increased to .3M0,;--Jlead played steady cricket. He was- missed by Bardsley at Blip from Laver beforfe . : Hill, who wont in when,thi'bb'ard showed 4 for 42, was chiefly instrumental'itf raising the total to 89 before the eighth wicliet was down, the fifth falling'for 53, tho sixth for 57, and the seventh for, 63. Hill hatted 50 minutes/ and displayed admirable form, marred by a difficult chance to M'Alister at deep field off ' Macartney,, when ho had mado 7. Whitty eventually got him with a slow yorker. :

Remnant was got rid of in tho same over that proved fatal to Hill, Armstrong at midoff taking a catch, with tho' score still 89. The innings occupied 110 minutes. Australians Save the Day.

Tho second innings of tho Australians >vas opened by Tnimpcr and Bardsley. Tho former waa dismissed after getting four runs,but Bardsley kept his end up, and when bo was joined by Armstrong, the runs came merrily. ; ■

Tho necessary runs required to win. wero obtained with tho loss of only four wickets, Armstrong having 72. to his credit, and Bardsloy 43. .■

■ (Rcc. Juno D, 6.5 p.m.) London, June 8. Tho pitch was faster' in the Australians' seoond iunings. Trumpor sent up a skyer off Llowollyn, and Newman, running from tho slips, took a good catch. One wicket for 17. When seven more, runs had boon added,. Noblo played Newman 011. Tho fielding van smart.

Tho Bardsloy-Armstrong partnership, lasting 05 minutes, carricd tho total to 101 before tho third wicket fell,. Bardsley being bowled by Llewellyn for '13. The century took just 100 minutes. . Dardsloy showed

himself to bo a sound, skilful, and admir able batsman. Ho was assisted by the uneven nature of the bowling.' .

With brighter weather, tho attendance

increased to ,5000. . The fourth wickct fell at 139, Llewellyn at mid-off. snapping up Armstrong off Brown. •

Armstrong batted for Do minutes for his '2. Ho gave a spkudid display, liter a

moderate start. A feature of his batting wai fine judicious driving. He hit a sixer and nine fours. J Gregory and' H'Alister added tho balanca of the required runs," Gregory was missed in tho slips when he had made 12. BOWLING FEATS. Tho big,pins of the Australian bam did boom all right, bnt not in the first innings. J. Newman, in Australia's first effort, rattled down thoir wickets to the tuna of eight for 43, a very too performance, even allowing for tho . sticky state of tho wicket. He is a right' > hand medium-paced bowler, and is rogardedai one; of tho. most promising recruits ■ in: tho' 1 poutrrern county. He has sovoral good bowling feats to his crcdit. Ho' took five wiokets for *r. w second innings against Gloucester- " shire; while for C. B. Pry'sHamblcdonelevcn v. an iinglnnd eloven at Hampshire last September ho was the most deadly bowler, in the match, capturing oight wickets for less than seven runs apiece, having a big share in the dismissal of a strong batting side. Newman s eight wickets f0r.43, were modified by Ins one for 57m the second innings, mat' ing ms average for tho match nine wickcts for IUU runs, or a fraction over eleven apicce. » SII nt or E9ven for 27—comes • out with 13 fori 80, or -a'fraction over six apiece, pavers figures for the tour.are now 29wickets for 298 runs, average 10.27. Six of his seven ' wiekcls in Hampshire's .second innings weri clean bowled. _ , ri o Armstrong and Bardsley were/at their bos! in the second wnines of tho Australians, and - the. former again demonstrated that he haa been well named the pack-horse of the team. • I '' Theso two players continuo to lead by ' a lonp in the Australian batting averages, with 54.00 and 50.64 respectively.' ■ ' ■SOMERSET, This, county was absolutely last in the championship of 1908. In all departments of the 1 fa™ o the team failed, especially the bowling L. G. Braund, who is well known to tho Australian pubuo, had, in common with many of his colleagues, an "oft" season. His 31 wickets cost a shade over 35 runs a piece. P, R. Johnson, the New Zealander, only took part in four ", matches, and certainly made amends for his enfo'roed. absence. He scored 603 runs in eight i topped tho English averages with 75.37. The baiting figures of> the Somerset ' players last season do not indicate that the team;, will give the Australian bowlers ani tronble at Bath to-day.' \ • DEAN IN FORM. ~ . , , London, ' Juno 8. Playing for. Lancashite against Warwick* . shire, Dean took nine wickets for 35, runs. ITor Lancashire ; last season Brearley an d "• Dean had to do nearly all the work on bard wickets, tho ohange bowling being muoh below j ft*??** m , "Dean,".: writes "Wis- ' aen, was clearly, inferior to Brearley in effectiveness, but he got on so well as to bold out promise that he may yet reach the' very front rank of present-day bowlers. Ho has' nearly everything in his favour—a nice action, /■ good pace, and. a distinct swerve." D<?an'j bowling figures, for last season were 124 wickets, r, "I s ' ? T f ra R 0 18.ee.

Considerable trouble exists in a section of tho Masons over tho election of tho Grand Master. • When Lord Chelmsford becamo Govornoi of Now South Wales it was suggested that ho should receive tho position, but' Mr. T TT Neshitt, Town Clerk of Sydney, insisted thai ho had a prior claim and informed Lord • Chelmsford ■to that oifect.
