(United Press Association—By .Kleetrio Telegraph—Copyright).

(Received this day at 8 a.m.) MANCHESTER, June 24. A handful of spectators saw the resumption of the match which was almost certain to he drawn. Watson luckily snicking Hbrhibrook to the boundary raised a (hundred in 110 minutes. Wall took the next over and' Hurwood vat second slip badly missed Hallows, then 39, but he added only three when he gave Wood full at square leg an easy catch. The partnership of 110 was the best recorded by any County in the Australia tour.

The wicket was still in good order, though Wall often made the ball rise. LONDON, June 24. For the final day against Lancashire the weather was dull and windy, wickeit s/oft and easy. There was much indignation because of Australia’s refusal- to declare around lunch yesterday, the crowd wanting, to see the game fought to a finish, instead of affording the Australians batting -practice, preparatory to the second Test.- As- a result- only - about ' "three., hundred were -present to-day. There is strong opinion that such an -..important--match- should ...never have been ! arranged at .this stage. (Received this dav at 8.30. a.m.) . LONDON, June 24. Watson after hatting a hundred and .fifty minutes and hitting nine fours, was dismissed ;bv ; a- gpod’ catch avt 1 the' wicket. Burivbod ' and Hornbrook worried the batsmen. After lunch the play dragged on dully until Tddon was run out. The total was now 3 for 165. Rain interrupted play for twenty-five minutes. Hopwood hit Mc-Cahe for three successive fours and two hundred was raised for 200 minutes. A bright partnership followed. Tyldesley add- | ed sixty-five before Fairfax took Hopwood’s middle stump. Four were out for 231. “Two wickets then fell to successive balls and all the last six batsmen offered a pitiful resistance, adding only twenty-eight. Fairfax in the last spell took 4 for 16. McCabe, and Richardson went for a brief practice but rain caused another delay before tlie . miserable match came to a farcical' end. Taylor ■ kept wickets," 'while -ewcia..Diickwo i ht}].
