The first test match was commenced lon tho Birmingham ground to-day in 1 finn but cloudy weaker. Six thousand spectators were present when play began. Trumble, Carter, and Sounders etrod out of the Australian team, Saunders being confined to fais bed with a SJre , throat. Mason, Haywood, and Llewellyn i wera omitted from the English team, , Lockwood being included. i MacLiren won the toss and sent the ; Australians into the field. | MacLaren and Fry opened tke Eng- ' \ lifh innings, the attack being entrusted . to Jones and Noblo. ! The st.u't was sensational. MacLaren i opened quietly and had made five when ! Fry faced Jones, and Kelly, standing (back from the wicker, caught the Sussex rr : ck before he had scored. One for five. 1 Ranjitsinhji joined his captain and each batsmiu had added four when, in ' making a foolish attempt to steal a single, MacLaren was run out. Tbe I ball was hit to third man, who returned lit before the batsmen had crossed, j Two for 13. Jackson cams Hext, and when the i total was 25 Trumper replaced Jonts, and Armstrong went on in place of Nuble at 34. One run later RaDjitsinbji was clean bawled by the second ball of Armstrong's over. Thres for 35. Tyldesley filled the vacancy, and opened his account by hitting Armstrong for two fourers. Jones relieved Trumper at 43, and Howell displaced Trumper at 50, which appeired at the end vi 70 minutes' play. The fielding of the Australians was j superb. Jackson knocked three 4's off Jones, and Tyldesley drove Howell for five, as a result of which Noble replaced Jones at 69, but despite the. cbaoges the score mounted steadily, the batsmen showing brilliant form. At 'he unc'ieon adjournment the r oard showed three for 99, Jackson 47 Tyldesley 29. On lesumirg the score was carried to 112, when Jackson played Jones on to his wicket. He played a very fine innings, I;Bfing1 ;8 f ing an hour and a half Four for 112 TykUsley's contribution being 36. Liliey partnered Tyldesley, but made : a (>hort stay. After scoring a couple he put up a skier off Noblp, Jones f aking the at mid-off. Five for ; 121. *

Tyldesley had previously b?en just I nissed by Jones at roid-ofFfrom Nobli% vhen his scnr* « ■■, 4.3. H> wbr again J nissed while still at 43 by Darling at i nid-ou- oft' Arm<-tron», and gave a hot k :ha:ice next ball to Armstrong off the af'er's own bowling. Hirst becime associated with Tyl-1 leslty, and a good stand was made, > wth piling on thu runs. At 194,! Pyldealey being 74 and Hirst 42, a louble change of bowling was tried, lones and Hopkins going on. A gooi x :a'ch in the slips by Armstrong dis- f )osed of Hirst. Six for 212. The i mrtnership with Tyldesley was re- 5 iponsible for 91 rues in 80 minutes. c Jessop filled the vacancy, but his J sareer was short-lived, Hopkins effect- c og sn easv ratch at deep cavcr-point. t Seven for 230;' S Braund was clean bowled by Jones J if f er getting into double figures. j Tyldrs'ey completed his century for -y hree and a half hours' work. His cut;ing was beautiful. Eight for 264. Lockwrod joined the Lancashire Drofessioual, but the latter's time had low come. He got leg before to Howell. He was four hours and 20 ninutes at the wicket, and gave a j splendid batting performance. Nine j for 295. Lockwoid was par'nr-red by Rhodes, 1 ind by vigorous play the two added 56 \ in 38 minutes.

REPRESENTATION c>V NATIVES. SPECIAL PROVISION KOR MAORIS. NEW ZEALAND AND HER SATELLITES. I ___ ( l'£» PRBBS ASSOCIATION. Melbourne, May 30. j The Senate passed the House of i Rpprespnta'ivos' amendments in the j Fnitchiso Bill, excepting the clause; m.k'ng exep'ion i>i favour of natives' iof the. islands of N'.-k- ZoaHnd anil j j others situated in th=» Punii ■; Ocean be- j iyond the Commonwealth. This wording was considered vagap, and the point | wa* I'fi.isiil whether it would not include ! the natives of New Guinea. Mr O'Connor sod he did no*: see f ny danger to the " White Australia" principle by adop'ing this principle. I He looked forward to the day when i New Zealand would enter the F.dcral Union ; but it must be only on terms giving the aboriginals of that, cuntry the same poliM'cil rights as they now enjoyed. Senator Stewart- said the present policy of New Z<t»land seemei to b-> to become suzerain of all the islands, and wlvn sho came in'o the federa'ion she would bring all her satellites with her. The question wou'd th«n arise of enfranchising the inhabitants of thb islands. The clause was amend'd to make it cWr that the exception »-«s in favour of the aboriginal natives of New Zea- , land only.
