Bardetey and Hopkins opened the Anaj>j tralians , innings, facing the bowling of Hirst and Newstead After missing him at 7, Hnnter gathered m Hopkins at the wickets, off Newstead, when ho bad scored 12. One for 29. > , ■■ Ransford, who never seemed at ease,' went the , same way when ho had made 11 Two for 53. The half-century was reached in 50 mintrees, Bardewy shaping excellently, andvmak--1 ing some good leg-hits. f Noble joined Bardsley, and a Bpell of lively oncket ensued, until it was ended by Noble being caught by Newstead at slip off Rhodes, \ who'had displaced Hirst, the third nicket falling at 95.

Gregory assisted to bnng up the centurj in 95 minutes, and wae Boon,after, disposed of by an easy oatch at slip by Newstead off Bhodes. Four for 107. >■ ' , Armstrong-Bardsley. , Armstrong'filled the vacancy. Both batsmen were in fine form. Bardsley, by clever , placing and fine cuts, reached 50 in 110 mm- \ utes. v Going on to 90, Bardsley lost hie wicket by hitting out afHiret. His 90 runs took 175 minutes. He made some lucky strokes, but gave no chance. His partnership witn Armstrong had lasted 70 minutes. Five for 192. - ' The sixth wicket—Trumper's— went just before the tea adjournment, Hunter catching his third nian off Nevstead.

Bardslcy's score included ten, and Armstrong's four, fourers. Ransford and Arm-, , / strong to-day completed their 1000* for "the! ee'ason; v ' » ' ' THE COVETED THOUSAND.-NEWSTEAD'S BOWLING. ' W. Bardsley and W. W. Armstrong accounted for no fewer than 160 runs of tho Australian ECore , On English wickets tho "Waler" has scored 1281 runs and the Victorian 1008 Armstrong has now a fair lead in tho batting averages. His six /not out innings havo materially assisted his efforts to hold the position against Bardsley, who has only been ,not out on ono occasion Kansford's aggregate in England to date is 862, and "it is to bo TegTetted that details of tho Scotch games were not'transmitted, as thoM C C decided during the 1905 tour that they were to be counted as first-claas. Ransford evidently took part in the games across tho Foider, which accounts for the message that ho has reached the .much coveted four figures. Congiatulations •• c J ,?
