Snooke and Sinclair resumed the innings, but their lives were short, Whitty, getting each of them at 12, Carterj catching Snooke behind the wicket, and the bowler catching Sinclair. The lat-j ter attempted a big hit, but the ball struck the corner of his bat and was ; skied. In the following over Whitty \ bowled Llewellyn. Whitty had struck a perfect length, and was almost un-j playable, Hordern was not so good. | Four hundred runs were scored in 355 i minutes. After one more Pearse wa»| gi\i ii citit leg before to Hordern. The dec mi;ji caused surprise in the grand-' stand, where people did not see. the ball hit his leg, and it continued to thel boundary. Australia went in wanting 198 to win. Hill sent Macartney and Trumper in,! and the difference in batting waa very) apparent. ( Macartney immediately started to; punish the bowling of Llewellyn and, Sinclair, and hit 56 in 35 minutes. Then Schwarz came on, and bowled him a fullpitcher, which he hit to Nourse at the; boundary. He had hit seven fours. Trumper started slowly, but the hun- 1 dred came up in 65 minutes. Play proceeded quietly, without special incident, 1 to 134, when Bardsley was bowled byj Nourse for 39. With the next ball he took Ransford's wicket with a straight good length ball. Trumper was extraordinarily careful, being evidently desirous of retaining the top average for the tests. He took! 65 minutes for his 50, which was slow work for him. Towards the end the South Africans] played in dispirited fashion. Trumper and Kelleway carried out their bats. Scores:— SOUTH AFRICA.
