Bowling Analysis.—Layer took three wickets for" "25; Macartney, three for 44; Armstrong, four for 14; Noble, o or 16.

There is a discrepancy between the score and the analysis. When Lancashire commenced its innings, the pitch was still treacherous. MacLaren and Hartley opened, the doing most of the scoring. At •/ 19 Macartney captured Hartley, and four "runs later Carter stumped MacLarch.

Sharp succumbed to the first ball he received, without any addition to the score.. Four wickets were down for 30, five for 49, and six tor t*.

M*Leod waa lively while his innings • 4 lasted. " Makepeace stayed 70 minutes at the * wickets and played a sound game, the board showing seven for 77 when he .left.

Hornsby by good cricket continued to put on runs. He saw the next two wickets fall, both at 93. Then he himself fell a victim lo Carter, after batting 45 minutes.. The innings lasted 120 minutes.

Australia in its second innings has lost four wicket* for 21.

Stumps were drawn at this stage. Received 6, 5.5 p.m. London, August 6. If Australia has lost four'wickets for 21.

Before a run was scored Carter got legbefore to the second ball from'Brearley. Koble placed the first delivery he received from Dean into MacLaren's hands at < slip and two wickets were down for a single—a bye. Lavcr, making a big hit, gave a catch at long-off.—Three for 16.

Gregory was stupidly run out, Hartley throwing his wicket down. There were 8000 present. •"' Rhodes' achievements.

PLAYING ON TOP OF A VOLCANO. By Telegraph.—Press Association. ■& ChristchurchjTriday. In the course of a lecture on volcanoes and earthquakes at the Canterbury College last evening, Dr. Marshall t (bowed a picture of the Auckland cricket ground, which, he said; was the crater of a <Tolcano which had been active in recent geological periods. Yet Auck- , «landers played cricket on the top of the ' volcano and took all sorts of chances, and would probably.be surprised and Indignant if some afternoon they went -' skyward.
