South Australia was continued to-day in warm weather, the attendance numbering about 2000. The wicket was fast, but wore as play progressed. .

He began defensively, but finished vigorously,his hitting "being hard . and clean. Crawford bowled well but unluckily, and tho fielding was poor. As the Soutli Africans leave for Melbourne to-morrow, and only 5 hours 50 minutes remained to play, the South Australians' chance of winning was regarded as hopeless. Zschorn began nicely, but at 34, ho was caught at slip. Clem Hill was uneasy with tho "googlies," and when he was five he was'missed at slip off Schwarz. Next over ho was very easily stumped. Three for 52. At 65 Crawford was caught off a sharp • return to Vogler, and five runs later Schwarz held a not return by S. Hill. Schwarz, at midon, then missed a warm chance by Gehrs .' off Vogler.
