Victoria in the second innings lost one wicket for 205 fWoodfnll not out 81. Rigg not out 110). New South Wales won by 111 runs, on the first innings. The weather was fine and the wicket good. Kippax’s action in not closing the innings last night aroused a deal of adverse comment. Ponsford was out to a slip I catch by Gregory when two. It was considered the finest slip catch ever seen on the ground. The batsmen went for the howling, and runs came freely. The latter stages of the game became farcical, eight howlers being tried he- I fore time was played out.
