RECORD SCORING.
GREGORY PRESENTED WITH j£lo3 Sydney. This Day. Gregory batted just over 4 hours, and gaye one of the finest exhibitions of cricket ever seen in Sydney. Throughout his innings he gave only one possible chance. His score comprised 28 fours, 8 threes, twenty two's, the rest being singles. A sum of LlO3 -was collected on tho ground and presented to him when he returned to the pavilion. The partnership for the ninth wicket between Gregory and Blackham added 154 runs in 75 minutes, which is a record for Australia. The fielding of the Englishmen was good, but can scarcely bo called brilliant. Lockwood is improving, and will probably bo well enough to bat. The Englishmen no doubt felt his loss duriqg the Australian's innings. Rain fell at intervals on Saturday night aud during yesterday, but ifc is hardly likely to interfere with the crickot.
