(Per Press Association.) London, June 11. Stoddart and Jackson when associated showed excellent cricket, and this pair of brilliant batsmen rattled up 76 runs in five minutes over the hour. Each however had a lifo. The attendance throughout the day was very large and a splendid wicket had been prepared, but the recent rains had made it rather heavy. The Home team batted first, their scores being — Grace, b Trumble, 15; Stoddart, st Kelly, b Trott, 54; Rangit Singhi, b Trumble, 7 ; Jackson, c and b Trumble, 51 ; Gunn, b McEibbin, 39 ; McGregor, b Trumble, 0 ; Davidson, b Trumble, 0 ; Marchant, b McKibbiu, 20 ; Pougher, not out, 9 ; Attwell, b Trumble, 7 ; G. Hearne, b McEibbin, 3 ; sundries, 16 ; total, 219. Trumble took 6 wickets for 84, McEibbin 3 for 52, Trott 1 for 35, Giffen 0 for 32 The Australians in their first innings made the most feeble display possible, and Pougher the Leicestershire professional made havoc among them. The whole team was disposed of for 18 runs. The following are the scores of the Australians : —Graham, b Hearne, 4 ; Trott, b Hearne, 0 ; Gregory, b Hearne, 0 ; Hill, b Pougher, 0 ; Kelly, c and b Pougher, 8; Trumble, b Pougher, 0; Eadv, b Pougher, 0 ; McKibbin, c Davidson, b PoMgher, 0; Darling, (innings unfinished), 0; Giffen (absent owing to being inflamed), 0; extras, 6; total, 18. Pougher took five wickets for no runs. Hearne four for four runs, Attwell no wickets for fourteen. The Australians followed on and have lost two wickets for 25 runs. The scores are:— Kelly, b Hearne, 0; Graham, b Hearne, 5 ; Trott, not out, 14 ; Gregory, not out, 6. I June 12. Twenty-four hours' rain had soddened the wicket and the sun drying it made the latter more difficult every minute. Jackson made a dashing innings and Gunn got his runs in a stylish manner. Their association added 44 to the score. Marchant, too, played a lively innings. After the luncheon adjournment Trumble and McKibbin were very difficult to play, and the Home team were soon disposed of. When tbe Australians took the wickets Hearne and Attwell took up the bowling, and there was trouble from tbe start. Wben the board showed 8, Graham played a ball on and Trott and Gregory carried tbe score to 14. Pougher went on at Attwell's end when the score stood at 18, and the bowlers, espscially Pougher, getting on tremendous work on the ball, finished the innings in three or four overs. When Pougher went on, Kelly fell a victim to his first ball and with next Hill retired. Iredale lost bis wicket next over, and then each bowler sent down a maiden. In Pong* her's next over Trumble played the second ball on to the wicket. Eady was yorked with the third ball and McEibbin was caught at midwicket off the fifth. Giffin, in addition to inflammation in tho eyes, is suffering from sciatica. The M.C.C. won tho match by an innings and 18 runs.
