Sydney, November 20.

The game was resumed in great heat, but after lunch the wind swung round to a cool quarter, and the lot of the fieldsmen was rendered more tolerable. Poidevin and Iredale began with the game freedom they displayed yesterday. They mastered the bowling completely. Quaife was put on, making the eighth bowler tried, but the batsmen kept going merrily till luncheon, Iredale batting in his old-time style, free and clean. Poidevin played a clean, hard stroke. The recovery of the New South Wales team, after so bad a start, wa3 one of the finest that has occurred on the ground. Immediately after lunch M'Gahey at short leg snapped Iredale off Jones. Poidevin received an ovation on topping M'taren's score, but strained his leg, and C. Gregory had to run for him. Clarke, the last man, being put out leg before.

The former scored a couple and stepped out to Clark and spooned it softly to Gregory at silly point. Hayward joined the captain. Steady play brought the score to 82, when M'Laren narrowly escaped being run out owing to a smart return by Trumper. The century appeared i. i an hour and forty minutes, both batsmen hitting freely. Hayward was just over the half century when Clarke got him with a beauty. Very slow play followed Quaife's appearance at the wickets, and he was 22 minutes before obtaining a single. Clarke had the batsmen tied up. Quaife tipped Howell into Kelly's hands at the wickets. M'Laren, who was playing Clarke very gingerly, sm> te one back, which the bowler ac cepted.
