iVUSTItALIAN ANI) N.Z. CABLE ASSOCIATION. AUSTRALIA v. NOTTS. (Received This Day at 11.30 a.i11.) LONDON, June 27. The Notts match was resumed in cloudy weather with intermittent sun. A very slight rain on Sunday had not hurt the wicket. The attendance in the afternoon was eight thousand. In Barratt’s third over, Richmond at point badiy missed Hernlry when 25. Runs came easily for a while, but J. Gunn missed Oldfield at cover though the ball came straight to him. Hendry readied 50 after 80 minutes steady batting, but at 006 lost his partner and was then stumped himself playing out to a hall well olf the wicket. The innings closed for 675.

Hardstaff, of eight bowlers tried came out with the best average.

The Nott men made a shocking display. Three were down for seven. Then Carr and Hardstaff made a short stand, both batting forcefully to the super howling and fielding. The former's middle stump was upset at 32, and after that Whysall was the only man to do anything. Most of the batsmen wanted confidence. The wicket was easy and they were obviously unable to copo with the fast howling, though Gregory was not putting on his greatest pace. In the end the county were out in 5)4 minutes for the paltry total of 58. Oates, owing to an injury, was unable to bat in either innings.

The County did slightly better in the second innings, but only reached UK).

LONDON, Jun 0 27. Hardstaff was in seventeen minutes before scoring. Carr enlivened matters, after Taylor on the boundary dropped him off Mailev, hut except G. Gunn and Povnton no one else did anything and the match ended a few minutes before six.

Lee was splendidly run out by a return of Taylor, from the boundary. AUSTR A LI A—First I nn bigs. Bnrdslcy, b. Richmond 9 Andrews, e. Gates, b. Barratt 2.) Macartney, l.b.w, b.
