(UNITID MESS ASSOCIATION.—COPTIiIOBI.) SYDNEY, 28th'January. The Sheffield Shield cricket match continued.in fine weather on a good wicket. Mullarkey took Scott's place, the latter having strained a legion Saturday. ' Victoria have lost nine wickets for 523 runs (Mayne, not out 135; Love, 31; Ponsford, 110). The scoring was very slow at the commencement, the batsmen being afraid to take risks, and Mailey, who/was in great form, spinning the ball well. The partnership between Mayne and Ponsford was very dreary at the start, neither batsman taking chances. After luncheon Ponsford livened up, and batted superbly, driviner and cutting delightfully and using his feet well. He scored 90 while Mayne was hitting up 50, batted 167 minutes, and hit eleven Macartney bowled in best form, keepr ing the batsmen quiet, but the fielding again was bad, catches from Mayne being, dropped three time, and Ponsford once.
