AUSTRALIA v. MIDDLESEX AXD SURREY. London, September 4. When the match, Australia v. Middlesex and Surrey was resumed the weather ' was delightful, but thcie was only a ; sitlall attendance. There was a good wicket. The remaining four of the combined team added 40. Bird made a mis- , hit and was taken in the slips after bat- | ting for 210 minutes. He did some brilliant driving and leg-hitting, scoring 17 . fours. Webster was in the field as a - substitute. The innings lasted 385 minutes. The Australians' second venture was not equal to the first. Emery was ab- ( sent. The best partnership was that . between Macartney and Bardlsey, who ■ added 77 for the third wicket, and Bards- , ley and Minnett added 31 for the fifth. They were scoring fast, making fifteen - in one over off Hitch, Minnett contributing eleven. Bardsley was the sixth ; batsman out, after 150 minutes' play. He was strong on the leg side and hit ■ seven fours. Requiring fourteen to win, Hobbs and J. W. Hearne accomplished the task safely off seven balls.

The Pall Mall Gazette says that except the four who accepted the Board of Control's terms, the Australian team's share of the profits will probably be under £2OO per man. Some, however, are hopeful that the Board will make this up to £4OO each.
