ENGLAND R-EQVIRES Ml HUNS. Bγ Telecrrttßli—Pro3s Association—Oooyrieht (Ifec. February l<l, S.DIi p.m.) Sydney, February 1!). Tlie third day of the match-M.C.C. Touring Team v. New South Willi's— was marked by dull, cloudy weather. Early showers fell, but did not seriously ull'ecl the wicket. M'Kew was absent from the Xew South Wales side, owing to the death of his sister. The attendance total led (200.

Gregory and fiardsley, who had been not out overnight with scores of 2(i nnd 5 respectively, resumed tho second innings for Xew South Wales, the English attack being entrusted to Barnes and Foster. Hardslcy seemed lo be unable to night Foster, nnd after missing several balls, was bowled by one which came in from leg. With Macartney in, Douglas relieved Barnes, and (he rate of scoring improved slightly. Gregory was cheered on reaching his 50 by beautifully cutting Douglas. Ho had then been at (ho wickets for 146 minutes. Next ball lie glanced to leg for i, thus passing Trurapcr's score. Woolley now bowled, vice Foster, whose 13 overs to-day had yielded only 13 runs. Just before luncheon Vino was tried, but was unablo to shift the batsmen. After tho adjournment llearrc and Douglas attacked, and'tho latter bowled Macartney third ball with a short-pitched delivery. The partnership had yielded 82. Harbour joined Gregory and 200 appeared after 185 minutes' play. Hobbs then took the ball from Hearne, he bowling a medium-fast. His third ball Darbour snicked to Woolley at third slip, tho fieldsman bringing oft' a good catch. With Kellcway for a partner Gregory took (he grand total past England's first innings aggregate by snicking Hobbs dangerously through tho slips to the boundary. Hobbs, however, was soon again successful, bowling Kellcway with n goodlength ball. His average was then two wickets for G runs. Gregory received a long cheer on bringing up his 100 which, had occupied 221 minutes. Next ball Hobbs claimed another victim, Collins being stumped by Strudwick. Hobbs then had thrco wickets for 12 runs. Hazlitt did not stay long, tipping Vine to Woolley in tho slips. T—12—250. After passing tho century Gregory opened out, and scored with great freedom. Emery also hit out, nnd 300 was hoisted after 205 minutes' play. Vino nnd Woolley were the most costly of the English bowlers. When he was 132 Gregory gave his first chance to Foster at second slip oft" Douglas. It was a hard one and was dropped. At 30 Emery also gave a hard ono to Douglas at niid-on off Vine, and this was also missed. Gregory's 150 had occupied 2511 minutes. At 4.50 Foster was put on to bowl, this being his first trial sinco beforo lunch. Gregory was again missed, and at Jl, Emery lifted Rhodes straight Ui Hearne in the doep field, but was dropped. Tho next two balls he hit straight to the ] boundary.' His 50 occupied (i.'i minutes, and made 100 for the partnership. •

A few balls Inter Emery,- asain scooped Rhodes up to the'daemon field, but Gimn missed an easy catch.

In Foster's next over, however, Emery's luck deserted him, and (ho English bowler clipped his leg bail. He. had batted !I8 minutes for 65, and his score included 11 fours. His partnership with Gregory had produced 114 runs. Scott was caught aud bowled by Hobbs after scoring 1.
