Wanting 134 to avoid an innings defeat Derbyshire commenced the second innings in, bright sunshine and a strong breeze.. The wicket was hard. Lees’ wicket fell at 10. Storer and Alderman continued patiently against AVa.ll and Hornibrook, .scoring only 15 in forty minutes. LONDON, May 23.

Mainly clue to Homibrook’s splendid bowling, Australia needed only forty-nine runs for a victory over Derbyshire. Ponsford and Jackson, who batted as though fighting for runs, scored these without loss. The Australian bowlers made full use of the wicket which cut up slightly. Ford and Townsend batted splendidly but the others offered littleresistance. Wall’s deliveries wer.-* very fast. Hornibrook’s figures should have been much Letter, bat ins was inconsistent and several chances were not 'accepted Iby the fieldsmen. Tho Queenslander is now only four wickets behind Grinnnett’s total. DERBYSHIRE—Ist Innings.
