(Received this day at 11 a.m.) England resumed with confidence, but Vincent with a wily slow ball quite deceived Leyland. Carr’s innings was extraordinarily hazardous and he was almost caught at •the wicket first ball. Three over lucky strokes went near fieldsmen. Sutcliffe, at 96, was nearly caught m the slips. Otherwise his innings o was sound, solid; and chanceless. Catterall, attempting to pull, was easily taken at short leg and Mitchell was completely beaten by a fast rising ball. « yLONDON, August 19.

With three wickets down for 20 runs it might have been, supposed that Deane’s so-called gamble in sending England in had been a boomerang, but two old hands, Deane and Taylor staged a magnificent fight, incidentally establishing a record for a South African fourth wicket partnership of 214.

They put on two hundred in 3 hours by solid batting, mostly driving and leg hits. The partnership ended when Deane, giving his first chance, snicked a ball to the slips, Woolley brilliantly accepting a wide, left hand catch. Taylor soon followed, snicking one to the wicket-keeper.' He played beautiful cricket, being especially powerful in driving, and was quite chanceless, tie hit twelve fours.-- •• • •/ •

When set, both men gave an. .exhibition of the soundest of forceful hitting. The attendance was 17,000.
