The wicket was good iinough for any number of runs. The attendance wan 4UOU. Llewellyn (44) and d'egler (2) resumed against Whiffy and Cotter. Peglcr immediately hit two fourers oil Whitty. At 201) a double change was made, and Armstrong and Kelkiway quietened the batsmen. Presently Peglcr cut Kelleway plump to Cotter at point. Six for 273. Snooke opened with a single, and then hit Kelleway to leg for four, and drove him to the boundary. The batsmen were still taking no visits, and watched every ball closely. Then Macartney and Whitty were brought on, and the score crept along at a snail's pace. Cotter bowled next, and 300 runs were hoisted in 335 minutes. At the luncheon adjournment the total was 305—Llewellyn 75, Snooke 17. Whitty and Armstrong resumed the bowling. Thirteen were added at a fair rate, and then Llewellyn called for a hit straight to 'mid-oil'. Snooke was unable to get home. Snooke batted for 00 minutes. Seven for 317. Two runs wire added, and itlien Llewellyn played-on. His | was a wondrously patient innings, which lasted 218 minutes. His score ineludif d four fours. When Sinclair had made a single he lifted Armstrong, and Gchrs caught mm, but had to step on to the asphalt bicycle track, so that the hit counted four. At 327 Whitty smashed through Fathom's defence. With Schwarz in, Sinclair let go with all his strength. When he had made 20, he lifted Armstrong to Gehrs, who dropped it. The over yielded 14. In Whitty's next over he lifted the ball t'o long-on, and Hill, on the boundary, caught him without moving. Sinclair was only inj for 30 minutes, but hit five fours. The innings lasted for 301 minutes. Whitty bowled splendidly, and secured fine figures, and the fielding was brilliant. Australia, requiring 378, began with Bardsley and Trumper against Snooke and Nourse. Trumper reached 10 in nine minutes, including four off each bowler. Bardsley reached doubles, hitting two fours, Snooke's second ball Hying between the two > men in the slips. The half-century came in 20 minutes, 28 having beea made in fourers. At 52, Llewellyn and Peglcr were ordered on, and they checked the rate of scoring. Then Llewellyn, in the fourth over, beat and bowled Trumper. The first wicket accounted for 03 in three-quarters of an hour. Hill's first two were lull tosses, which yielded six runs. The captain quickly ran his score to 20. At 94 Schwarz took the ball from Pegler. Bardsley brought up the hundred in GO minutes: his own 50 following in Llewellyn's same over, and Hill banged Schwarz for four. At 117, Faulkner replaced Llewellyn, and in the first over, after five runs had been scored, he got; a soft return from Bardsley, who had batted soundly for 80 minutes, hitting six fours. I Kelleway was next, and Schwarz, not having found his length, retired for Sinclair. Kelleway soon reached double figures, though a. snick off Faulkner passed dangerously close to Schwarz at right hand in the slips. Four to Kellewav off Faulkner made 150 in 152 minutes. Eight off Faulkner and a single from Sinclair carried Hill to 50 for 05 minutes' play. At 105, Scltwarz bowled instead of Faulkner. At 170, Hill played Sinclair to midon, and had to retire. He had batted 70 minutes, hut in the latter part of his innings was cautious. He hit five fours. Ransford was caught at mid-off, Llewellyn running in. Four for 171. Carter was next. Faulkner immediately relieved Schwarz. In his first over Kelleway, who had then scored 2S, touched the ball, which S'hcnvell dropped. The batsmen were exceedingly wary. Sinclair was keeping a good length, and nine overs produced only 10 runs. Llewellyn relieved him at 182. No further wickets fell. The Africans, with the Held close, fielded smartly.
