Armstrong, Trumper, and Cotter saved the Australians in the second innings. "W. W.," in tho Yorkshire, and Lancashire fixtures, has only been dismissed once. This occurred on his last visit to the wicket. Armstrong's scores against the northern contingent are:— 12 not out, 110 not out, 70 not out, 48 not out, and 72. . ' Hopkins, 6 for 15, has beaten his Worceatoifigurcs, 6 for 36. Hornby,' the Lancashire skipper, will have some hard thinking to do, as his side undoubtedly had the worst of the wicket to contend with. . ■.'«■■ THE FIFTH/TEST MATCH. . A. C. MacLaren, R. H. Spooner, K. - L. Hutohings, A. A. Lilloy, W. R. Rhodes, C. Blythe, S. l'\ Barnes, aud J. Sharp took part in the drawn match at Manchester. J. T. tFylciesler; G. H. Hirst, and P. P.

Grace played' for England, The Lancashire crack liae jjlaycd in the majority of Test matches on English wickets during tho past ten years. G. H. Hirst opened hie Test account at Sydney on December 13, 1897. Ho was not selected for tho big games of the 1893 Australian tour in England, but has, likp Tyl'desley, taken part in the majority of Test matches since this period. Buckcniiani is'the Essex trundlcr who was confidently expected to have' been chosen for the first Test at Birmingham. In the event of Hayes playing he will bo the sole' representative of Surrey at tho Oval, and it will bo his first appearance in Tost orjeket. E. B. Woolley and D. \y. Carr, of the Kent team, were in the running for a. place in the English Eleven for the recent gamo at Manchester.
