Tlie weather was perfect and attendance five thousand. Rain on Sunday Imd not affected the wicket. The scoring was steady, owing to fine howling 1 1 v Blanekenhiii'g. Bardsley was not so confident as usual, though Collins was more aggressive. The latter Avas dropped at the wickets at forty-six. Ahieartney was not so enterprising as hitherto, luit seemed just to have got going when he was snared in the slip. Throe wickets had fallen lor 100, when Ryder set out. to make his big score. The Victorian was partial to off drives and despite frequent bowling changes gave a la illiant display, though lie occasionally mistimed Bhinekenhiirg wlm was u thorn in Australia’s side throughout. Ryder gave a semblance of a chains- near point in his opening over. His was the eighth wicket to fall with' the total at 357. He batted three hours and hit twelve fours. Caller hit fris'lv on the leg side, rapidly running into the thirties, through the medium iff' live bomnlnvies. South Africa played out time in tho second innings. Ward in throe; Frank in nil.
